Global Industry Leaders Team Up to Improve Aluminum Beverage Can Production Processes
The new alliance between Sensory Analytics and BetterCans is designed to enable canmakers to better utilize highly precise and impactful data from SpecMetrix systems to drive production and coating application process optimization initiatives. Award-winning SpecMetrix ACS systems produce instant, actionable, and precise coating thickness and film weight data for all applied container coatings. With their decades of hands-on canmaking experience, the BetterCans team can work together with plant teams to suggest and implement meaningful coating process improvements based on that data to improve container quality and reduce plant conversion costs.
According to Greg Frisby, Global Industry Manager of SpecMetrix Systems at Sensory, “We are excited to bring meaningful impacts and immediate benefit to canmakers through this innovative alliance. The BetterCans team are all highly experienced canmakers that cover the entire beverage canmaking line. The potential for immediate improvements and impacts for canmaking plants being delivered by two best-in-class solution providers is tremendous. All our valued SpecMetrix ACS system customers stand to gain significantly from this new value-added opportunity. Together with BetterCans, we expect to change film weight measurement from a regular plant expense into a new can plant profit center.”
