Achieve the Perfect Fill

For food, beverage, and household and personal care manufacturers, fillers are among the most critical pieces of facility equipment. With proper optimization, fillers can be directly associated with overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and yield management improvement.

Yet, many companies struggle to achieve accurate and consistent filling in the manufacturing process. Over- and underfilling on your production lines can cause serious financial and efficiency consequences, including product giveaway, lost revenue, costly rework, heightened regulatory risk, and more.

No matter your filling parameters — whether gels, powder, creams or liquids in bottles, tubes, jars, or pouches — overcoming your most complex filling challenges is critical to achieving production efficiency.

FactoryTalk® Analytics™ LogixAI®  analyzes available production data and builds a model to predict the weight of product being filled in each package. By continuously evaluating key variables on your behalf, LogixAI ensures you get the perfect fill, every time.

• Simple integration. LogixAI is layered on top of your Logix PLC in the form of a soft sensor at the edge. This allows the software to identify product fill variation.
• Continuous optimization. Thanks to out-of-the-box machine learning models, LogixAI monitors critical performance variables and develops real-time predictions to optimize filling precision.
• Autonomous production. Real-time predictions can alert operators when anomalies are detected, or you can enable autonomous closed-loop control to eliminate manual intervention.
• Rapid scaling capabilities. Repeatable and scalable, LogixAI pairs with FactoryTalk® Edge™ Manager to enable remote device management across additional fillers and facilities.
