5 Checkweighing challenges in Global Packaging

• The plant environment is always a challenge

6 Variability and ROI in the plant

• Checkweighers are key to measuring the efficiency and cost of a packaging line • Production lot statistics • Low weight reject • Missing packages in larger packs • Feedback control to fillers

• The broad range of packages, and the increasing line rates, in the global market require a broad range of solutions capable of delivering measurement
