Eagle Speaks: Executive POV on Performance and X-ray Product Inspection

Food & Beverage
post header img

Gauging performance is key to ongoing and ultimate success. That’s true in life – starting with academic grading systems in school – to job performance assessments and third party evaluations and on. The importance of gauging performance also applies to the equipment you use in your manufacturing facility. If a x-ray product inspection machine isn’t fully performing, neither is your line or ultimately your business.

How can you ensure that your x-ray product inspection systems, for example, are performing at peak capability? Look for advanced inspection systems, including x-ray machines that can conduct key quality and integrity checks, and that are designed with performance in mind for maximum efficiency and the lowest total cost of ownership.

In addition to innovative designs and rugged construction that takes into account the variety and harshness of various operational environments, Eagle machines are rigorously and repeatedly tested to make sure they perform optimally once they are installed. This ensures the systems meet your stringent standards for productivity, hygiene and energy usage. Our equipment is also designed and evaluated to make sure it is meeting additional safety and quality standards, such as HACCP programs and GFSI requirements.

As we test our systems, we conduct key performance metrics that include assessments for Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Total Effective Equipment Performance (TEEP). We design and gauge our systems to help you achieve the best OEE and TEEP status for your business.

In my position as Strategic Business Unit Manager for Eagle Product Inspection, it’s part of my job to assure that our equipment performs at the highest levels. It’s also part of my role to share my experience and Eagle’s expertise to help you get the most of your advanced inspection systems and software. As part of the new “Eagle Speaks” Docu-series kicking off this month, I am glad to be able to share what I’ve learned about performance with you on this video and on platforms which include podcasts, e-books and more.

I look forward to working with you and talking to you and I encourage you to reach out to me as well at kyle.thomas@eaglepi.com.

In the meantime, I suggest learning more about how high-performing x-ray machines can improve your products, your customer satisfaction and your bottom line, through this insightful interactive e-book.
