Achieve zero-defect manufacturing

Proactively identify high-risk areas on the line, establish control limits and verify proper equipment setup before every run.

First time right. Every time.

Verify equipment setup to confirm that your process is in control before production begins.

SmartSkin’s Quantifeel solution allows you to identify critical areas on the line for damage and defects, quickly solve issues, and establish optimal targets so you can ensure proper setup before every batch.

Eliminate trial and error troubleshooting, unplanned downtime, and relying on visual inspections to confirm performance after production has already begun.

Get it right the first time, every time.

Implementation

Identify critical areas

Pinpoint critical, high-risk areas and machine control points on your line to proactively monitor during changeovers.

Create control charts

Set specification limits based on optimal pressure and shock baselines and create control charts for each critical area.

Verify changes

Instantly see which control points are out of control and verify changes after troubleshooting activities and changeovers.

Frequently asked questions

Assess. Solve. Verify.

Tailored for engineering and operations teams, Quantifeel™ Qualifier Solution allows you to set limits for critical line segments so you can instantly verify machine setup and resolve issues before production begins.

Establish optimal control limits and verify process control before every production run with actionable, data-driven insights into line performance and container handling.

First time right, every time.

SmartSkin’s Equipment Qualification solution allows you to identify critical areas on the line, baseline the pressure and shock data for optimal container handling through those areas, and set up control charts with limits around force data. With these control charts set up, any engineer or line technician can run the drone through the line segment and instantly verify if the equipment is set up optimally or requires further adjustment.

Get a pair of standard drones designed to match the size and shape of your production containers and Quantifeel™ Qualifier software pre-installed on a tablet to start collecting force data immediately.

SmartSkin’s Equipment Qualification solution is designed to help you accelerate changeovers and set up so you can reduce downtime, and prevent container handling issues and breakage. With control charts for pressure and shock data, you can instantly see whether your container handling performance is optimized.

One pair of standard-sized container twins is included in the Qualification solution. For general container handling issues, use our sidewall pressure drones available in vial, syringe, ampoule, and cartridge formats. For capping machine troubleshooting and optimization, use our latest vial or cartridge Seal Force Drones to assess top load forces and seal tightness.

If you have a unique container format, contact us to learn more about custom drone development services.

Our patented SmartSkin container twins use 100s of surface sensors and internal sensors to precisely measure the surface pressure, shock, tilt, spin, and rotation that your containers experience on the line.

Specialty formats include our latest vial and cartridge Seal Force Drones which measure the top load force, seal tightness, shock, and motion.

The Equipment Qualification solution includes a ready-to-use tablet with our Quantifeel™ Qualifier software pre-installed. Once the drone is paired, simpy place it on the line alongside empty or water-filled containers and watch the force data as it’s recorded and graphed in real time.

 

Run the drone through the line segment or machine approximately 10-15 times to establish a baseline dataset. Pressure and shock limits can be set automatically based on standard control charting principles, or manually based on equipment knowledge and performance goals.

Once limits are set, engineers or line technicians only need to run the drone through the line segment once to assess container handling performance and will be notified if any forces fall outside of the acceptable range.

 

When every MINUTE counts

Don’t hold your team or products back

We know that unplanned downtime and time-consuming investigations hurt your bottom line and can even affect patient care.

Making sure your line is set up for optimal container handling before production begins can help you avoid glass breakage, damage and equipment issues, so you can keep your line running at maximum speed.

With SmartSkin’s Equipment Qualification Solution, you can be confident that your machines are set up correctly—every time.

 

SmartSkin Drones

Your production line from your containers’ perspective

SmartSkin’s solutions include container twins that run on the line alongside empty or water-filled production containers during maintenance, changeovers, or troubleshooting activities.

All container twins are designed to match your containers’ specifications, so you can get accurate, actionable insights from every part of the production line.

Quantifeel™ Qualifier software is the ultimate when it comes to actionable insights and proactive risk mitigation. After just a few runs of baseline testing, you can set up control charts and optimal limits for each critical area on your line to quickly verify proper machine setup before every run.

Pre-installed on a provided tablet, Quantifeel™ Qualifier collects the pressure, shock, and motion data from your container twin as it traverses the line and lets you know when and where damaging forces are impacting your products.
