Our customer produces countless capsules every day. The greatest challenge lies in the product changeover between two capsule types: to avoid any mixing, the system is partially emptied – resulting in up to 60,000 discarded capsules per changeover. This leads to high scrap rates, unnecessary costs, and reduced sustainability. The customer’s goal was to automate this scrap-intensive and manual process without compromising detection accuracy
