AIS and “Smart­feeder” for unique fla­con­s

Chris­tian Frö­ba: “We had want­ed a kind of intel­li­gent feed­er for a long time. When I was search­ing for a suc­ces­sor gen­er­a­tion for our bot­tle feed­er, the top­ic became increas­ing­ly rel­e­vant – and Bucher Emhart Glass, as a driv­er of inno­va­tion, was imme­di­ate­ly enthu­si­as­tic about it.”

Dominique Vas­saux: “At our research cen­tre in Wind­sor, Con­necti­cut (USA), we were able to pro­vide Heinz-Glas with the per­fect envi­ron­ment to thor­ough­ly under­stand and test the func­tion­al­i­ties of the ‘S­mart­feed­er’ and the flex­i­bil­i­ty of the AIS machine in regards to mold com­pat­i­bil­i­ty.”

Chris­tian Frö­ba: “The com­pe­tence, expe­ri­ence and will­ing­ness of Dominique and his team was tru­ly impres­sive. At the research cen­tre we had the pos­si­bil­i­ty to sim­u­late our needs and trans­fer the results onto our com­plex con­tain­ers.”

Dominique Vas­saux: “Our goal was always to ensure the tech­ni­cal fea­si­bil­i­ty of Heinz-Glas’ wide vari­ety of com­plex con­tain­ers. The will­ing­ness to learn from each oth­er and adapt was key to achiev­ing the solu­tion we have today.”
