4 Ways to Boost Production and Productivity with Teraoka’s Industrial Equipment Solutions

At Teraoka, we offer a comprehensive suite of industrial equipment designed to optimise every stage of the production process, from automated weighing and labelling solutions to inspection and data analysis. By incorporating these solutions, you can benefit from a range of advantages that convert to increased production and productivity.
1. Enhanced Accuracy and Efficiency.
Our cutting-edge weighing and labelling systems are internationally renowned for their precision and speed. Our high-resolution scales minimise human error in material measurement, while our automated labelling machines ensure consistent and efficient product labelling, identification and pricing. This reduces waste, improves product quality and streamlines inventory management.
2. Streamlined Workflows and Automation.
Our inspection equipment uses advanced, up-to-date technologies like metal detection and X-ray inspection to identify defects and contaminants with unparalleled accuracy. Our metal detection solutions adopt a 2-frequency magnetisation detection method and our dual wave series can detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals while the Anritsu KD74 Series X-ray inspection system is highly rated throughout the world. This automates quality control processes, freeing up valuable human resources for more strategic tasks.
3. Real-Time Data Insights and Process Optimisation.
When it comes to weighing, processing and labelling, our industrial equipment is equipped with sophisticated data acquisition and analysis capabilities. This allows you to gather real-time insights into production performance and make data-driven decisions to optimise weighing and labelling processes.
For example, our DIGI WIW-700 is a high-capacity, dynamic, weigh-price labelling machine. The powerful conveyors can carry loads of up to 60kg. It is PC-based, allows easy integration with existing machines and networking comes with touchscreen functionality for easy programming.
