Vital Products GmbH was looking for a precise and efficient solution to check the weight and ensure the completeness of its products. The main objective was to ensure the company's high quality standards through reliable technologies. The production includes food supplements in the form of tablets and capsules, which are mainly filled in plastic bottles.
Process monitoring through weight control and software integration
Minebea Intec supplied the Flexus® WS 1kg checkweigher including the powerful SPC@Enterprise software solution. This combination not only enables precise weight control, but also comprehensive process monitoring and analysis. The Flexus® checkweigher checks the weight of the plastic bottles highly accurately to ensure that each product meets the defined specifications. At the same time, the checkweigher performs a completeness check to ensure that all containers are filled correctly. The seamless integration of the SPC@Enterprise software allows Vital Products to evaluate the required production data in detail, identify weak points and optimise processes.
Successful use leads to expansion of the solution
The advantages for Vital Products are obvious: quality assurance and greater efficiency with simple operation and seamless integration of the software into the production process. Thanks to the detailed data analysis, quality standards can be easily met and audits facilitated. This strengthens internal process reliability and end customers' confidence in the products of Vital Products.
Vital Products were extremely satisfied with the solution supplied and particularly emphasised the reliability of the checkweighers and the quality of the Minebea Intec service and support team. This positive experience led to a further enquiry: two additional checkweighers are to be added to the production lines to ensure that the entire production is equipped with Minebea Intec's technology.
Customised solution as the basis for a long-term partnership
The project impressively demonstrates how Minebea Intec creates added value through innovative solutions and customer-oriented service. The combination of precision, efficiency and process control has not only improved production quality at Vital Products, but has also laid the foundation for a long-term partnership. Vital Products is an excellent example of how customised solutions from Minebea Intec can help to meet demanding customer requirements and at the same time secure a competitive advantage.
The solutions of Minebea Intec, especially the Flexus® checkweigher, have significantly improved our product quality and processes. Precision, reliability and excellent service are convincing across the board.
