Vertech’ tightens up quality control with pallet-blocking facility
Software provider for the glass industry Vertech’ has upgraded its SIL supervision system with a pallet blocking mode.
By running SIL, which provides glassmakers with very precise, real time KPIs on the performance of the whole plant, quality acceptance levels are defined in line with international standards and pallets are accepted or blocked accordingly.
This reliable process can be used for any kind of glass production.
The new pallet-blocking feature is flexible and can be enabled to suit glassmakers’ needs, production orders and/or management style.
For example, it can be activated for some users and not for others; or it can be activated for some productions and not for others.
With the mode activated, operators can very quickly select if pallets are accepted or blocked.
Operators enter the pallet status in the system for each pallet; should it be necessary, the pallet status can easily be changed. Full traceability is guaranteed.
In the production process, pallets are the last step for produced articles.
Using a supervision system like SIL that brings high efficiency and reliability to the essential process of carefully controlling articles on pallets, glassmakers can send their products to end customers with complete confidence, having guaranteed that the pallets meet all acceptance quality levels.
