With TQS (Traceable Quality System) we provide a state-of-the-art Track & Trace solution for packaging lines in the pharmaceutical industry. These systems permit the complete traceability of medicines along the entire supply chain. This feature will make a significant contribution to the safety of medicines according to the requirements of several national regulations, e.g. the EU Falsified Medicines Directive coming into effect February 2019 and supports the exposure of pharmaceutical counterfeiters. The TQS portfolio comprising stand-alone and integration solutions that adapt flexibly to your application requirements. Whether you are looking for a serialisation machine or an integrated aggregation solution for a case packer, we are the right partner for you.
Machine readable coding ensures a globally unique product classification in the form of a serial number, combined with a Tamper-Evident label on each individual pack, to form the basis for consumer protection against counterfeit drugs. Serialisation and continuous aggregation provides transparency of product origin all the way to retail sale and creates trust and security in the market. The serialisation of individual boxes begins with the stable positioning on receipt from the cartoner.The labels are then applied as required to the front or back side, or the top of each folding box. Thanks to the compact design of the labeler, a Tamper-Evident label can be applied to prevent illegal opening of the original box. The TQS top conveyor system transports the folding boxes from the cartoner and has demonstrated maximum flexibility in adapting to the most varied of folding box dimensions
The series of machines in the Traceable Quality System (TQS) providesdelivers a format independent aggregation for all packaging levels (sets, cartons, palettes) tailored for the individual requirements of every customer. TQS enables the consolidation of the serial numbers of multiple individual packs into a separate unique serial number for the set. in In addition to semi-automatic aggregation of manually repacked cartons, where the operator places previously aggregated sets lengthwise into the shipping carton. The operator conveniently assigns the units from a lower packaging level (e.g., folding box) to a higher level (e.g., sets or shipping cartons). Therefore, a hierarchical relationship is created in the database.
Our X-ray product line specializes in the detection of foreign bodies in foods and other products. At the same time the high-tech Wipotec X-ray scanners contribute to product optimisation and thus increasing productivity. They monitor filling levels, the shape and condition of packages, as well as check for damages, completeness and flawlessness of products and trays. Due to its compact design and modularity, our X-ray technology can be easily and swiftly integrated into your production lines.
We offer additional inspection solutions through metal detectors. They detect dangerous metal chips in packed and unpacked foods that are then ejected from the product flow.
The professional service provided by Wipotec will provide you with comprehensive advice during the selection and setup of suitable components. The close technical collaboration with our team enables you to provide your customers with technically high-quality products together with sound know-how. Due to the bundling of development and manufacture on one single site, we can react flexibly to your requirements.
Reliable product handling even with cylindrical objects
If you have to deal with small or cylindrical product shapes, the patented conveyor belts of our catch- and checkweighers ensure transportation with very quiet running. These are matched to your requirements, For instance, top-bottom conveyors and lateral side grip conveyors ensure perfect product handling a prerequisite for the most accurate and fastest dynamic weighing. During the manufacturing of wine and sparkling wine corks, for a Spanish producer, the specific shaped conveyor belts ensure a stable product transport. The corks are separated and perfectly positioned for weighing in the concave-shaped conveyor belt so that they can be weighed precisely.
Thanks to our tailored solutions from Wipotec, we can meet even the most specific of requirements, for example, the weighing and classification of porous corks, impermeable to water, despite their density of less than 0.25 grams per cubic centimetre.
Time is money – checkweighers in coin weighing
Wipotec supports the manufacturing and inspection of freshly stamped coins. The weight of the coins is determined to the milligram within fractions of a second. To guarantee the value of the coins, according to regulations, the minimum weight must correspond with the nominal value. This is relevant to ‘normal’ coins as well as coins comprised of precious metals.
Furthermore, if the weight is exceeded, the profitability of the production process may be effected. At the same time, for the simple determination of the value of a large number of coins, each nominal has a defined weight that must be maintained in production. Due to the highly precise determination of the weight, coins with the wrong weight are ejected immediately and sorted for remelting. This application is typically supported by multiple lane operation allowing higher throughputs.
Checkweighers for completeness check on toys
Other applications for the usage of checkweighers are easy to implement. Renowned toy producers rely on our weighing technology to check the completeness of their toy kits. As each element has a specific weight, it is not only detected if the final package is incomplete.
Quality control in checkweighing start early. First, our high performance units inspect the weight of all product pieces to the milligram. Second, preceding the inspection of the final package, small pouches are dynamically weighed for completion checks. This precision ensure customer satisfaction and maximum efficiency.
Exporting precise measured Results from Catchweighers
If you do not require product inspection but rather to determine the weight of different objects for sorting, our catchweighers range is right for you
Catchweighers are also equipped with Wipotec weigh cells determining the weight of each individual product and documenting it in the shortest time. Thus chaotic product sequences can be placed in order. Thanks to the intuitive operation of the devices on the touchscreen and the uncomplicated export of the data via standard interfaces, all the data is quickly available and manageable.
The simple user interface has been integrated to minimise human error. All relevant production data is acquired and documented in full. As an option, Comscale4, our web based quality data management software networks your checkweighers and inspection machines across sites and makes all relevant production data available to you in real time.
You can access the data on every machine connected to your production line from your PC and even from mobile devices. The data is available for a quick check, as well as for extensive analysis and is easy to share with your partners and other departments. Therefore, with all the data available to you, the right decisions can be made quickly. Keep full control of your quality assurance, always!
Flexible Weighing Systems for your needs
The flexible high-tech units are exactly adapted to the requirements of your production line and integrate smoothly and swiftly with their operating height, conveyor belt dimensions and speeds. Integrate the checkweighers and catchweighers into your line as stand-alone machines or tailor made integration solutions. Changing production to new production parameters during operation is quick by making entries on the control panel or optional for checkweighers reading the correct barcode using the handscanner.
