Fortress launches multi-machine data connection package at PPMA 2023
For food processors seeking fullyintegrated , paperless and automated data collection from across their entire inspection machine fleet , PPMA 2023 is a must-visit event . This year , Fortress Technology presents its latest data communication solutions , engineered to work on all their inspection machinery , as well as a number of other makes , models and brands .
Responding to repeatable calls by food manufacturers for a single centralised data collection package that can work across an unlimited number of inspection machines - including checkweighers , metal detectors , x-ray and even label and coding machines - Fortress Technology has sourced a compatible and affordable solution .
Featuring a simple front-end system , manufacturers can connect as many or as few inspection devices on one software system , even non-Fortress machines . Giving food and beverage factories total quality control and oversight across their entire production lines . Machine data connections can even be made across multiple sites and monitored remotely .
Once installed , the subscription-style data collection package can be easily scaled up to incorporate more machines . Options range from an industry-standard weight and quality monitoring system that captures and records incoming data against pre-determined target ranges by product , to monitoring and reporting COP checks . All data is date and time stamped , logged , and reports all non-conformities . Alerts by email can be issued when corrective actions are required .
Report and analysis tools can be displayed on any business PC via internet browsers . Reducing manual paperwork and eliminating unreliable , labour-intensive record-keeping .
“ With these new data package options , the front-end structure has been kept

simple . This is intentional as it helps to keep data manageable , as well as delivering meaningful quality oversight for production and quality managers . In addition to recording data , the software analyses the data generated in real-time , immediately highlighting any critical parameters , such as contaminant reject trends and weight overfill costings , as well as red flagging processes that might be drifting from specification ,” explains Fortress Europe ’ s Commercial Manager , Jodie Curry .
Additional reports that can be extracted include line efficiency , production rates , batch performance , Trading Standards records and audit data . Detailed records can be produced for any defined timeframe detailing what was happening during the inspection of product packs .
Available on an affordable monthly subscription , once the software has been installed , additional devices , locations and sites can be added without having the repurchase the software .
