Diagnose the root-cause of damage in minutes, not days.

Time is money. Maximize data capture speed for realistic insights when you need them most. Equip your team with the right tool to swiftly solve critical issues and keep production at full throttle.

BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS

Our patented technology zeros in on all of your previous blind-spots.

Running your line at full speed is the only way to capture realistic data of what your product experiences. And when critical, damaging events occur, costs are measured in time. Having the right tool at the right time is crucial to understanding the problem as quickly as possible so your maintenance teams can resume production, and get back to full speed.

We can extend the lifecycle of your equipment by reducing the frequency of breakdowns and micro-stops or extended outages. The SmartSkin drone can take the guesswork out of new rail alignment and calibration, to protect the inner workings of your company’s assets.

What is the SmartSkin solution?

The Power Trio: Hardware, Software, Support.

Step into the future with SmartSkin solutions. Our autonomous SmartSkin Drone mirrors your container’s specifications, seamlessly collecting real-time data from your production line. Quantifeel software transforms this data into actionable insights, highlighting areas prone to damage or line slowdowns. And don’t worry, you’re never alone. Our expert support team is always there to maximize your SmartSkin system’s potential.

How does my team use SmartSkin?

Simply turn on your SmartSkin Drone, run it in-line without interrupting production, and use Quantifeel^TM Software to view and pinpoint areas that are experiencing adverse forces – no need for downtime or consultants.

It really is that easy.

What forces do SmartSkin Drones measure?

Our patented SmartSkin Drones use 1000’s of surface sensors and internal sensors to precisely measure surface pressure, shock, tilt, spin, and scuffing that your container experiences on the production line. Certain thresholds are acceptable depending on what area of the line you’re monitoring. There are specialty SmartSkin Drone models to meet your specific needs. View the SmartSkin Drones here.

How quickly can I get up and running with SmartSkin?

We keep an inventory of SmartSkin Drones in standard sizes that are ready to deployed. Depending on your location, and your needs, you can have a SmartSkin system in hand and ready to start collecting data in as little as two weeks.

If you have a unique container shape and size, we will work with you to create a SmartSkin Drone that is an exact replica and capable of traversing your line just as your existing containers do. Contact us to start discovering how SmartSkin will work with your beverage manufacturing line.

What areas of my line does SmartSkin go through?

SmartSkin Drones are built to go through every area of your production line, including: depalletizer, conveyor, filler, seamer, pasteurizer, packer and palletizer. These containers replicas are durable and built to withstand the demands of the factory floor. In the unlikely scenario damage occurs to the sensors that impacts data reliability or functionality, you are covered by our warranty replacement guarantee.
