Elevating its existing service contract offering, Husky Injection Molding Systems is now including its Advantage+Elite proactive, predictive, transparent monitoring solution as a standard feature on all PET and Closure systems.
Introduced in early 2020, Advantage+Elite monitors systems within customers’ production facilities in real-time, while ensuring and maintaining the lowest total cost to produce. Using remotely connected technology and proprietary dashboards within a closed-loop reporting platform, Husky continuously monitors and analyzes a set of leading system variables to anticipate, recognize and rectify potential issues before they impact productivity or part quality. In addition, this functionality reportedly reduces the variability risk associated with running higher levels of post-consumer-resin (PCR), accelerating the shift to manufacture more circular, sustainable packaging with increased percentages of recycled material.
To date, Advantage+Elite supports Husky customers internationally. To ensure each system receives consistent support, Husky has also built an extensive global service network designed to be locally deployed in customers’ local languages, as well as six Advantage+Elite global monitoring centers around the world.
