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.
Temperature
Control contamination and quality issues in rinsing and pasteurization processes with temperature sensors.
Features & Benefits
Reduce breakage and damage by 80%.
Cut downtime by 60% with consistent use.
Improve line efficiencies, targeting downtime and maintenance.
