The OEE reporting enhancement
from Mettler-Toledo enables
manufacturers to access and
download key performance data for
their metal detection systems, such
as alarm history, faults and
warnings, and changeover
information
Food and beverage manufacturers can benefit from optimized metal detector performance and reliability due to a new Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) reporting enhancement from Mettler-Toledo Safe line Metal Detection. Developed for metal detection’s Profile, Profile Advantage and Signature Touch systems, the new feature supports manufacturers in improving the efficiency of their production lines. By streamlining the collection of OEE data, it allows operatives to analyze consistent types of information together with reporting data from other machines on the line. Manufacturers can use this data to enhance their operations by reducing maintenance or changeover downtime and maximizing productivity.
The new OEE reporting enhancement enables manufacturers to access and download key performance data for their metal detection systems, such as alarm history, faults and warnings, and changeover information, in the same way they do with their other pieces of equipment to help them understand how efficiently the machine is operating. This can then be collated with information from across the entire production line to be analyzed at a centralized remote location.
In addition to their OEE reporting enhancement, the Profile, Profile Advantage andSignature Touch metal detection systems are now enabled for Packaging Machine Language (PackML) v3.0 – the most recent version of Pack ML for Machine Automation and Control (OMAC). Pack ML v3.0 simplifies machine-to-machine integration, which allows OEE data to be extracted from the metal detector and viewed on remote interfaces in a uniform, easy-to read and industry standardized manner.
OEE data from the Profile, Profile Advantage and Signature Touch metal detectors can be extracted using an existing RS232 and Ethernet interface or through Mettler-Toledo Safe line Metal Detection’s new Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM). The FIM is available for use with Ether Net/IP and Modbus TCP Field bus networks and provides the critical bridge between the metal detector and the customer’s Fieldbus network. Fully incorporated into the machine, this allows direct transfer of information to the manufacturer’s management information system for later analysis and reporting.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
