EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 No. 07+08/25 www.petpla.net 36 Automated process control Process Pilot+ reflects the latest advancements in automated process control for PET bottles and will be a focal point of Agr’s display. Recent updates and enhancements to Process Pilot+ incorporate further AI that is claimed to significantly improve blowmoulder efficiency and profitability by enabling operators to automatically optimise the blowmoulder based on performance, energy efficiency, or operating costs. As the Pilot Profiler system continuously measures material distribution on every bottle, the Process Pilot+ works in conjunction with the blowmoulder to proactively manage optimal material distribution. With its ability to manage the blowmoulder to maintain quality and performance attributes despite environmental, blowmoulder, and, especially, material variations due to rPET that occur during the production process, the Process Pilot+ system is an essential tool for PET bottle manufacturers that are committed to incorporating rPET into their product mix. Blowmoulder vision system Pilot Vision+ is Agr’s latest and most powerful in-the-blowmoulder vision system. This system is well suited for the quality management of bottles containing high percentages of rPET. Designed to work in conjunction with today’s high-speed reheat stretch blowmoulding equipment, the system offers a modular approach to defect detection integrated within the blowmoulder. The open architecture of this system allows for simultaneous management of up to six cameras, in multiple locations. As part of Agr’s Process Pilot family of products, Pilot Vision+ can be combined with Process Pilot+ for a total bottle management solution, providing the ability to detect random occurring defects as well as manage the process to maintain precise material distribution, even with light and/or difficult-to-process bottle design. All-in-one measurement system The Gawis 4D is the latest and most advanced measurement system for beverages and other types of bottles. This all-in-one laboratory Laboratory automation, precision bottle measurement and innovations in automated blowmoulder control Quality control and productivity improvement At drinktec, Agr will showcase its latest innovations in quality management and process control for beverage containers. With nearly a century of industry leadership, Agr supports producers in meeting rising quality standards - especially as the shift toward lighter PET bottles and higher rPET content adds complexity. Visitors can expect updates to Agr’s blowmoulder management, vision, and automated lab systems, all designed to optimise production efficiency and to ensure consistent container quality. Agr International Hall C6 – Booth 521 Agr’s Gawis 4D features high pixel density camera components, along with telecentric optics and lighting to achieve high level dimensional precision and repeatability. Agr’s Process Pilot+ system continuously and proactively manages the blowmoulder to maintain proper material distribution while enabling blowmoulder optimisation based on performance, energy efficiency or operating costs.
