Why work with Harford Control?

Over several decades, Harford Control has worked tirelessly with a wide range of factories in order to optimise their production performance.

With the Harford Manufacturing Execution System (MES) tailored to your needs, you will more easily reduce errors, find the hidden wastage and consequently become more efficient, whilst continuing to deliver consistently high quality products, making your business more profitable and sustainable. 

Most manufacturers are facing ever increasing input and transformation costs with few opportunities to increase the output price to their customers.

This should encourage manufacturers to look more deeply into their production processes to find the hidden costs, eliminate wastage and thereby improving efficiency without compromising quality.

The problem of rising costs and fix output costs is nothing new and will not end. Therefore performance improvement to drive down transformation costs must be continuous.

FAQs

  • What is fill optimisation?

    Fill optimisation in manufacturing refers to the process of carefully calibrating and controlling the amount of material or substance filled into containers or products. By ensuring precise filling while minimizing wastage, this approach enhances operational efficiency and maintains product integrity. 

  • Why is fill optimisation important for manufacturing?

    Fill optimisation is pivotal for manufacturing due to its impact on both financial and product-related aspects. Properly optimised filling processes reduce material wastage, leading to cost savings and environmental benefits. Moreover, it guarantees that products meet quality and consistency standards, boosting customer satisfaction. 

  • How does fill optimisation contribute to cost reduction?

    Fill optimisation directly affects costs by reducing material waste, leading to substantial savings in the long run. This approach minimises overfilling or underfilling instances, curtails the need for rework, and safeguards against costly regulatory fines. 

  • What technologies are used for fill optimisation?

    Fill optimisation utilises sophisticated technologies such as precision sensors, automated controls, and real-time monitoring systems. These advanced tools ensure accurate measurements, enable regulation of filling procedures, and generate data for continuous process improvement. 

  • How the solutions improve product quality?

    Fill optimisation enhances product quality by guaranteeing uniformity and adherence to predetermined fill levels. This diminishes variations, prevents the occurrence of underfilled or overfilled products, and consequently elevates overall product quality and customer satisfaction.
