SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 11, 2024 – Sidel, a global leader in liquid packaging solutions, announces the launch of Qual-IS™, a pioneering digital solution designed to transform quality control and food safety in the aseptic beverage industry. This comprehensive system streamlines quality management processes, mitigates risks, and ensures consistent product quality throughout the entire production cycle.
Addressing the Critical Need for Food Safety and Quality
Product recalls pose significant financial and reputational risks for beverage producers. In response to this challenge,Sidel has developed Qual-IS™ to proactively address quality control concerns and elevate food safety standards. Qual-IS™ offers a holistic approach, integrating laboratory management, traceability, sampling plans, and hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) into a unified digital platform.
Enrico Savani, Sidel's Product Manager for Sensitive Product Filling, emphasizes the significance of this innovation:"Qual-IS™ represents a paradigm shift in quality management. It empowers our customers to not only monitor quality but to actively drive it, ensuring consumer safety and brand trust while optimizing operational efficiency."
Unparalleled Traceability and Data-Driven Insights
At the core of Qual-IS™ lies advanced traceability technology. Each bottle is assigned a unique code that stores comprehensive information about its journey through the production process, from preform and cap selection to filling parameters and critical events. This granular level of traceability enables rapid identification and resolution of potential quality issues, minimizing the risk of recalls and ensuring consumer confidence.
Furthermore, Qual-IS™ leverages data analytics to optimize sampling plans, adjust microbiological testing protocols,and predict future quality parameters. This data-driven approach ensures that quality control measures are continuously refined and adapted to meet evolving production demands.
Integrated Laboratory Management and Streamlined Workflows
Qual-IS™ seamlessly integrates laboratory data with production line information, bridging the gap between these traditionally siloed processes. This integration enhances efficiency, reduces manual errors, and provides a comprehensive overview of product quality.
Laboratory technicians can access all relevant information for each bottle by scanning its unique code, streamlining quality control tests and generating detailed reports. The platform also simplifies calibration certificate management,ensuring that all equipment used in the production process adheres to strict quality standards.
A Proactive Approach to Quality Assurance
Qual-IS™ empowers beverage producers to proactively manage quality control through real-time dashboards,customizable reports, and historical data analysis. By identifying trends and setting quality key performance indicators,manufacturers can continuously improve their processes and ensure consistently high-quality products.
