Smart Data, Digital Reporting Solution

See it at PACK EXPO International, Booth 1752! Fortress Technology will showcase its Contact 4.0 smart data, digital reporting solution that focuses on food safety and digitized QA documentation.

Events captured by Contact 4.0 include faults relating to reject confirmation, as well as the live status of bin doors, air pressure, infeed and encoders.

Leaning into the concept of smart factories and AI-driven technology, Contact 4.0 adopts a futuristic approach to food production. Narrowing in on food safety and digitized QA documentation, Fortress Technology’s smart data capture solution combats the digital disconnect experienced by manufacturers when operating multiple metal detectors, weighing machines and combination systems simultaneously.

Utilizing web-based architecture, Contact 4.0 captures valuable production data across an entire suite of networked Fortress inspection machines. It can remotely monitor the performance of equipment, track events and document all potential product risks. Turning potentially massive data streams into tightly monitored operational insight.

With Contact 4.0, food processors can, for the first time, tether multiple front-end inspection machines to back-end reporting software in real time—live, streamlined, and centralized.

Rather than react to production scenarios, Fortress customers can now export dashboards and reports in the format that is most closely aligned to their common reporting standards, enhancing traceability and giving operational staff the information needed to address time critical events and minimize machine downtime.

Production, QA, and maintenance managers can troubleshoot issues remotely.

Contact 4.0 can be installed on all Fortress digital Stealth, Interceptor and Interceptor DF metal detectors, as well as the Raptor Checkweigher, Raptor XL Caseweigher and Raptor Combination unit.
