Smarter Handling for Every Aluminum Can

SmartSkin’s digital container twins replicate real aluminum beverage cans and measure pressure, shock, spin, tilt, scuffing, and vertical load as they move through conveyors, filling, seaming, and packaging. These sensor-enabled twins reveal invisible stress points in real time—helping food and beverage producers prevent can damage, minimize downtime, and ensure product and brand integrity without disrupting production.

Key Benefits

Monitor Pressure

Track compression forces that can deform cans during filling or conveyance.

Detect Shock

Identify impact events that can result in dents or damage that compromise can shape or structural strength.

Analyze Spin

Capture rotation issues that affect labeling, printing, or orientation.

Tilt Detection

Ensure cans remain upright to prevent tipping, misfeeds, spillages, or poor seals.

Measure Scuffing

Quantify abrasive contact that damages printed surfaces and degrades shelf appeal and branding.
Aluminum-Can-Vertical-Load-Icon

Vertical Load Force

Assess top-load compression during seaming or stacking to prevent buckling or collapse.

No Install

Deploy SmartSkin container twins under full-speed, real-world conditions—no installations or line interruptions needed.

Anywhere on the Line

SmartSkin container twins are designed to go anywhere on the production line from the depalletizer to the palletizer – including the filler and seamer.

Advantages of Aluminum Beverage Cans

1

Lightweight and Durable Packaging

Aluminum beverage cans are significantly lighter in weight than glass bottles but are strong enough to withstand internal pressure, particularly from carbonated drinks. This combination of strength and weight saving allows beverage producers and packagers to reduce costs in terms of materials and minimize waste due to breakage during transportation.
2

Better Product Protection

Aluminum beverage cans protect the contents from light, oxidation, and contamination. The coated barrier helps maintain freshness, flavor, and carbonation from production and packaging to consumption.
3

Efficient and High-Speed Production

The design of aluminum cans allows for high speed filling and seaming. They also take up less space when stacked on top of each other and that makes for better logistics. The inherent strength of the design make them ideal for automated filling and packaging at high-speed beverage manufacturing facilities.

Sustainability And Aluminum Beverage Cans

Sustainability is now among the key factor in packaging decisions across the beverage industry. Aluminum beverage cans offer several environmental advantages.

Quality Control Challenges in Aluminum Beverage Can Packaging

While aluminum cans provide many advantages, beverage manufacturers can encounter a number of quality related challenges during production and packaging. These challenges include:

  • Seaming defects
  • Dents and bends
  • Leakers
  • Downtime
  • Low speed operations
