beckers bester wanted to replace the single-workstation solutions for the statistical fill quantity control with an efficient, networked statistical control. In order to best combine the various aspects of sustainability (ecology, economy and social responsibility), the company opted for a completely paperless solution.

The new system therefore had to be able to process various types of packaging including glass but also bonded drinks cartons. At the same time, it was important that the user gained optimal transparency of the filling process, without have to physically remain at the relevant workstations in order to react quickly to any deviations. The SPC@Enterprise solution from Minebea Intec met all these requirements and the company’s production is now also in good shape to meet future challenges.

For pre-packaging checking with static checkweighers, samples are weighed manually. The measurement data is assessed in SPC@Enterprise, documented and stored in the MS SQL database. Workflows for checking routines can be created centrally for all control stations and operating processes can be adapted according to individual requirements.
