Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has announced the release of ProdX 2.7, the latest update to its pioneering data management software for product inspection. ProdX has been a cornerstone of quality control and data management for food manufacturers, seamlessly integrating with product inspection devices like checkweighing, metal detection, x-ray inspection and vision inspection systems.
The ProdX software is designed to save manufacturers time and money by automating essential quality control processes. It monitors, reports and collates all product inspection activities in real-time, helping manufacturers support regulatory compliance and protect their brand through the safe storage of data. By analyzing this data, production line improvements can be easily identified – boosting productivity and combating rising costs.
Designed with the evolving needs of food production lines in mind, ProdX 2.7 builds on the existing foundations and now offers significant advancements to improve operational efficiency, product quality and sustainability, while continuing to facilitate compliance with local and global regulations.
Key updates in ProdX 2.7
ProdX 2.7 represents a major leap forward in the ongoing commitment from Mettler-Toledo to optimizing product inspection processes for food manufacturers. This new version delivers key improvements to reporting, user management, device integration and operational transparency – enabling manufacturers to boost efficiency, reduce costs and achieve high levels of compliance and safety across production lines.
Notable enhancements
Enhanced Dashboard and Monitoring Features: ProdX 2.7 now introduces dashboard charts that make it easier for operators to monitor device statuses and key performance indicators in real time. The user-friendly interface enables manufacturers to monitor multiple lanes simultaneously, thanks to multi-lane checkweigher statistics being displayed in a new table format for improved visibility.
Additionally, the web-based monitor now includes new “giveaway” and “individual” value charts, which provide more granular data insights for both single device and production line views.
Optimized Reporting Capabilities: One of the significant advancements in ProdX 2.7 is its expanded report automation. The new version allows users to generate custom reports with greater flexibility, and a new template has been added specifically for performance test results. The software also includes automated summary reports, offering an easy overview of compliance with food safety regulations, whether for individual shifts or broader production runs.
Extended User and Access Management: Increased transparency is a highlight of the new ProdX update. The software logs all user events, including successful and failed login attempts, changes to access rights and profile modifications. This added level of traceability not only strengthens data security but also simplifies compliance with auditing processes.
Greater Connectivity and Device Integration: ProdX 2.7 extends the commitment by Mettler-Toledo to seamless connectivity by enhancing the Open Platform Communication Unified Architecture (OPC UA) tags. The statistics have been enhanced with minimum and maximum individual weight tags and zone counters.
New Message Queuing System for Greater Efficiency: The migration to RabbitMQ message queuing system in ProdX 2.7 means faster and more scalable data handling, allowing the software to process a larger volume of messages without compromising performance.
This upgrade addresses previous limitations, making the system more robust and capable of managing complex, data-heavy environments.
Supporting Business Growth and Cost Efficiency
With ProdX 2.7, Mettler-Toledo continues to support food manufacturers in their efforts to grow their businesses by enhancing data-driven decision-making. The software’s ability to automatically collect and archive inspection data means that critical information is always available for real-time analysis, empowering manufacturers to boost productivity, reduce operational costs and achieve compliance.
Peter Spring, ProdX product manager at Mettler-Toledo, comments, “ProdX 2.7 takes our software to the next level in terms of usability, connectivity and efficiency. It offers a range of new features that allow manufacturers to automate time-consuming tasks, improve the speed and accuracy of reporting and ultimately deliver a higher level of product safety and compliance. As food manufacturers face increasing demands for sustainability and efficiency, ProdX 2.7 provides the tools they need to meet these challenges head-on.”
