Inspection 17 PETplanet Insider Vol. 25 No. 06/24 www.petpla.net to teach the system which product should be accepted as a good part and which should not. Intuitive reference creation allows the customer to define inspection areas in which all defect criteria are inspected. The customer uses tolerance values to independently define which closure he wants to evaluate as a good or bad part. Based on a large number of successfully completed projects, Intravis has already gained extensive experience of typical defects (such as flashes or short shots at the warranty band) that can occur during tethered cap production. This allows the best possible, customised solution to be found for each project. The cavityrelated data analysis enables precise monitoring and analysis in order to be able to react to potential problems at an early stage. This means that our customers always retain full control over their production quality. PETplanet: Intravis was one of the first providers to offer an inspection system that is “Tethered Caps Ready”. How much experience have you gained in this area in the meantime? Marius Pötting: For many years now, Intravis has been actively involved in Cetie (International Technical Center for Bottling and related Packaging), making a significant contribution to the further development of tethered caps and, thus, supporting the optimisation of safety and sustainability standards in the packaging industry. Since then, we have dedicated ourselves intensively to the inspection of tethered caps and have successfully adapted to meet the new requirements. By using the latest image processing technologies and machine learning algorithms, we are able to inspect tethered caps quickly and precisely - regardless of whether they are produced using the injection moulding or compression moulding process. As a leading provider of image processing solutions in the packaging industry, we are proud to have already successfully implemented a large number of inspection systems for closures on the market, and to be able to offer our customers high-quality and reliable solutions for tethered caps. PETplanet: Finally, let’s imagine a customer who wants to convert his existing line to tethered caps. He has already updated everything and is now confronted with the final task of adapting his inspection. How complicated will this be for the customer? Marius Pötting: Of course, I cannot speak for other providers on this issue, but Intravis took all the necessary measures early on when developing and refining the CapWatcher. So, an uncomplicated and rapid changeover is definitely possible. It is advisable to involve the inspection system provider in the changeover as early as possible. If you are interested, you can contact us at any time. We will be happy to support you with the transition of your production. PETplanet: Thank you very much Mr Pötting. www.intravis.com
