The use of modern technologies is driving greater automation in quality control and increasing overall product safety. At the same time, manufacturers must comply with numerous labeling and quality assurance regulations — both a challenge and an opportunity. Modern quality assurance requires seamless documentation, validation and audit trails. Digitalization requires end-to-end data exchange throughout the entire production and supply chain. Many production lines therefore rely on smart solutions that meet all requirements effectively. From precise checkweighing and efficient marking and labeling to optical inspection with fully integrated vision systems: quality, safety, and compliance can be guaranteed in a future-proof way.

Labeling and Marking

Printing and labeling are critical steps in the process. Their purpose is not just to comply with legal requirements, such as labeling of hazardous substances, but also to continually improve internal standards for product safety while increasing overall production efficiency. 

Track & Trace

If every single product is marked with an individual serial number (serialization) and these are then linked to their secondary and shipping unit (aggregation), this enables full transparency of the supply chain. Seamless traceability becomes possible, as well as clear tracking of the flow of goods, e.g. for falsification prevention.

2D Codes in Retail and Consumer Communication

While traditional barcodes only carry an article number, in-line printed 2D codes can also include batch information and production data. They enable flexible communication along the supply chain, all the way to the end consumer. 

Circular Economy

When plastic containers are intended for multiple reuse cycles, a unique packaging identifier helps to digitally map their circulation. This allows manufacturers to optimize the operational efficiency of the containers in circulation and use materials in a more sustainable way. 

Checkweighing

From the smallest tube, through canisters and stand-up pouches, all the way to large sacks: we provide the right solution for powders, granules, liquids, pastes and even explosive aerosols. As a leading manufacturer of checkweighers, we combine precision with speed. Our dynamic checkweighers offer maximum weighing accuracy in demanding applications. All of our systems are customized to their specific application – for maximum quality and reliability. 

Net Content Compliance: Avoid Underfilling

Accurate filling is a key requirement in every regulated industry. Precise checkweighers ensure that each package contains exactly the declared amount — preventing underfilling, costly recalls, and regulatory issues.

High-Value Products: Avoid Overfilling

Overfilling not only causes unnecessary material costs, but also compromises profitability. Precise weighing ensures that each package only contains the amount required.

Weighing in Hazardous Areas

Chemical production environments often involve potentially explosive atmospheres. Certified weighing technologies bring safety and accuracy into perfect alignment.

Combination of Weighing and Metal Detection

Especially for large containers such as industrial sacks, the combination of checkweigher and metal detector saves valuable space on the line while ensuring the highest product quality.

Optical Inspection

Our vision systems inspect labels, markings, and seals for quality. This allows you to verifiably ensure that every single product leaves the line defect-free. Raise your quality standards and replace manual spot checks with 100 % automated inspection. 

 

Our inspection systems are fully integrated, eliminating the need for time-consuming installation, calibration, software integration, and process alignment of individual cameras. The result is smooth operation with direct MES connectivity and automatic rejection of nonconforming products.

 

  • Labels, printing, lids
  • Mix-up control
  • Reading codes and their contents
  • Checking variable data such as BBD and LOT
  • Checking the fit of the closure and seal

Service, Safety, Quality

Our systems combine marking, checkweighing, and optical inspection in a fully integrated solution. This eliminates the time-consuming task of coordinating multiple individual components. With just one interface, all functions can be connected and controlled simultaneously. Using standardized protocols such as OPC UA, our systems communicate easily and securely with higher-level systems like the MES. This reduces integration effort, minimizes potential error sources, and ensures seamless data exchange – from production planning to full traceability.

 

  • Fully integrated systems: marking, checkweighing and optical inspection in one unit
  • Easy integration via an open, standardized interface
  • User-friendly operation and quick changeover
  • Solutions and services from a single source
  • High vertical integration “Made in Germany” ensures long-term spare parts availability
