How do we quantitatively and reliably measure the impact that the bottle will face?

We needed to detect the points
along the line with the highest impacts

And so, we proposed mapping the process

We installed a sensor on to the prototype of the bottle that was being processed

We first calibrated
- Accelerometers
- Gyroscopes
We measured accelerations and turns

Around the 3 axes

At different heights
We measured the impacts in IPS

We placed sensors along the line to measure each blow and identify where it occurred

We started to collect all the data in real time and display the results on a mobile device directly with the customer

THE STORY BEGINS NOW

Because big differences may exist between productions and number of moulds.
Because the statistical tails show irregular behaviour.
Moreover, the greater the impact intensity in these statistical tails, the higher the risk.
The higher the number of impacts, the more likely they are to occur in weakened areas of the bottle.
The weighted sum of all the impacts is necessary for a correct interpretation.

With our experience, we perfected the reports and learned to read and interpret the results.

Now we know that all impacts count...
but not equally.

With a correct interpretation, we have managed to identify the risk level of a line and the risk of breakage.

NOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY,
YOU KNOW WHAT VIDRALA CAN DO FOR YOU

What can be measured
can be improved
