Multibar, een grote Canadese voedingsrepen producent zocht een geavanceerde oplossing voor gewichtscontrole voor-en-na het coaten van de repen. Multibar gebruikt daarvoor nu FreeWeigh.Net ®, een statistisch kwaliteitscontrole systeem (SQC). Dit pakket dekt alle QC aspecten af bij vul- en verpakkingslijnen, overeenkomstig de actuele geldende wettelijke voorschriften.

Over two decades of sweet success, Multibar Foods has aggressively engaged in a business plan to place itself at the pinnacle of the nutrition and snack bar industry. With over 300,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehousing space, Multibar has become one of North America’s leading food bar producers, by making hundreds of millions of nutrition and snack bars each year. A profound allegiance to quality management has allowed Multibar to experience steady growth while designing food technologies that allow its international client base to offer highest quality and to develop new ways to improve the quality of their wholesome snack bars. As part of its efforts to stay in the forefront of the technological era, Multibar asked METTLER TOLEDO to find an advanced solution to control weight before and after coating each snack bar.
FreeWeigh.Net® ensures maximum investment protection and legal conformityBefore contacting METTLER TOLEDO, Multibar employees were compiling all data on paper, which forced them to wait several hours before making any essential adjustments on production lines. Today with FreeWeigh.Net®, statistical quality control (SQC) software, they have implemented a tool that completely covers all quality control aspects of packaging and filling, systematically reduce unnecessary overfilling costs and ensures maximum investment protection and conformity to new legal requirements.
Multibar fitted each production line with a PC weighing terminal connected to a high precision X-series balance. WithFreeWeigh.Net® Multibar not only documents and eradicates product defects, they also significantly reduced material costs when a snack bar receives too much coating.
More time to control product qualityWith the introduction of FreeWeigh.Net®, Multibar is able to assign just a single employee to each production line to test snack bar samples. Because fewer calculations need to be made, Multibar employees have more time to monitor the quality of their products. In today’s economy, a company cannot afford to waste ingredients – each bad batch means the company has lost money. Because of Freeweigh.Net, Multibar analysts can easily attain a steady target weight and eliminate the loss of expensive ingredients.
