TQS Integrated System for Shaped Bottles and Canisters:

Fully Integrated System for Maximum Process Efficiency

The TQS unit is designed to consolidate multiple critical production steps into one seamless operation:

• High-precision dynamic checkweighing (legal-for-trade compliant)
• Front and back labeling for various container shapes
• Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO) for variable data printing
• Integrated camera-based inspection systems
• Real-time quality control and verification

By merging these functionalities into one centrally controlled system, TQS significantly reduces system complexity, minimizes interfaces, and improves overall line efficiency and uptime. 

High-Quality 2D Code Printing and Reliable Verification

A key feature of the system is the fully integrated thermal-transfer overprinter, enabling the application of:

• High-resolution 2D codes (Data Matrix / QR codes)
• Batch-specific and serialized data
• Variable production information in real time

Each printed label is automatically verified by an integrated vision inspection system, ensuring maximum readability and data accuracy. This is essential for track & trace applications, anti-counterfeiting strategies, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Serialization enables each individual container to carry unique data, such as:

• Batch number
• Production date and time
• Product identification
• Quality and process data

This creates full transparency across the entire supply chain and supports digitalized production environments (Industry 4.0).

Comprehensive In-Line Quality Inspection

Beyond weighing and labeling, the TQS platform integrates multiple inspection functions within the same system:

• Cap presence and correct placement verification
• Material and color inspection
• Label presence, position, and correctness checks
• Print quality and code validation

This ensures that all quality parameters are monitored continuously, reducing waste, avoiding rework, and enhancing product reliability.

Flexible Handling of Complex Container Shapes

TQS is specifically engineered to handle a wide variety of packaging formats, including:

• Round bottles
• Square and shaped canisters
• Different sizes and materials

The system allows for fast and reproducible product changeovers, making it ideal for both high-volume production lines and small batch manufacturing with high product variability.

Centralized Control with Intuitive HMI

All system functions are managed via a single rotating multitouch HMI, accessible from both the front and rear of the machine. This ergonomic design improves operator usability and ensures efficient interaction with the system in various line configurations.

Seamless Integration into Digital Production Environments

The TQS platform supports integration into higher-level systems such as MES and ERP via standardized communication protocols (e.g., OPC UA). This enables:

• Centralized data management
• Automatic parameter loading
• Real-time production monitoring
• Enhanced process transparency

The result is a future-proof solution aligned with the principles of smart manufacturing and digital transformation.

One Platform – Multiple Advantages

By combining weighing, labeling, printing, inspection, and traceability into a single unit, TQS delivers:

• Reduced system complexity
• Lower maintenance and training effort
• Improved production efficiency
• Increased process reliability
• Enhanced product quality and compliance
