Reduces installation time and system costs with no need for external networks

A diaper production facility was regularly experiencing problems with their feeder system including inaccuracy in the amount of super absorbent pellets the feeder was applying to the diapers during the manufacturing process. They did not like the closed system they were using and wanted something that could apply pellets faster. In addition, due to the inaccuracies they were experiencing, they frequently had to place service calls and their expectations for service were not being met. Delays in service response were causing extended down time and slowing production.
