ShockQC™

Reduce glass breakage by 80%

Image of ShockQC sensor in glass bottle

Measure IPS and G-force to reduce damage, waste and improve line efficiencies.

Containers that experience impact on the line that exceed the recommended IPS (inches per second) rating are far more likely to break and trigger a chain-reaction on your line.

How the process works:

Use ShockQC™ smart replicas of your glass containers, cans or other fragile containers to measure IPS and G-Force to identify the root cause of damage with 99% repeatability. Location tracking with wireless Bluetooth beacons pinpoint the origin of damage and opportunities for improvement.

Impact

Minimize breakage by pinpointing areas of impact greater than container rating using IPS and G-Force.

Spin & Tilt

Control label and pressure damage by reducing degrees per second of container tilt and spin.

Icon showing that ShockQC can detect temperature

Temperature

Control contamination and quality issues in rinsing and pasteurization processes with temperature sensors.
