Field Proven and Patented.

The Strategy To stay competitive, manufacturing companies must: Increase speed of production Improve levels of quality Lower costs

The Targets Key Manufacturing Areas: Production & Packaging Key Process Phases: Material Transfers Key Processes: Batching & Filling

The Goal Transfer the exact amount of material, in the minimum amount of time every time !

The Current Status Transfer the exact amount of material by lengthening the material transfer time every time. Transfer the approximate amount of material in the minimum amount of time every time. Case 1. Case 2. Or the Trade Off...

The METTLER TOLEDO Q.i Strategy Take control of the material transfer phase Adapt to account for natural process variability Significantly impact: - overall manufacturing efficiency - manufacturing costs - an enterprise's competitiveness.

Increases Competitiveness. Grows Profits. CASE STUDIES TRADITIONAL 2-SPEED FEED Q.i 1-SPEED FEED SAVINGS IMPACT (US$) Case Study 1. Increased Manufacturing Thoughput Capital Spending Deferment ~120 mins/batch~72.5 mins/batch ~$ 5 million in 1 facility. Case Study 2. Improved Control Reduction in Raw Material Usage $ 4.91 overfeed per batch $ 0.67 overfeed per batch ~$ 500,000 per annum across 11 batch systems Case Study 3. Reduction in Valves, Pipes & Controllers Reduction in Maintenance Cost 2 Valves 2 Services 1 Valve 1 Service ~$ 90,000 less h/ware +$10,000 p/a saved over 9 material paths *These case studies illustrate actual results achieved by consumer goods manufacturers

Increases Speed. Enhances Use of Investment Capital. Increases manufacturing throughput of batches by up to 30%. Reduces cost by up to $10,000 per material delivery line. Traditional Multi-speed Material Transfer System Single-speed, On-Off Material Transfer System BRUTE FORCEQ.i
