Mettler-Toledo confirms its participation in India Warehousing Show 2012 to showcase its latest technologies and products designed for transport & logistics industry.

Mumbai, Maharashtra -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/15/2012 -- Mettler-Toledo India, a wholly subsidiary of Mettler-Toledo Inc (NYSE: MTD), announced that it would accelerate its expansion in India with its latest technologies and series of new product launches in India to target bigger slice of Indian automation market catering to the transport and logistics industry. METTLER TOLEDO has over 25 years of experience in providing solutions to the Transport and Logistics Industry and acts as a consultant for optimizing terminal productivity. It has the expertise to know exactly which solution will have the greatest impact on any operation. It is focused on delivering high quality solutions that ensure customers meet their goals of operational efficiency, revenue recovery and space optimization.

Mettler-Toledo India offers complete automation in Indian transport and logistics industry with the following procedural automation steps alligned with its complete in-motion data capture sulution - TLX MultiCapture™, designed to target the Indian transport and logistics industry -

1. Implement an Efficient Identification Method
The first step is deciding how to identify the items you handle. Your decision will depend on how much information you want a label to carry. Matrix labels contain more data than barcodes but require camera scanning, which is often a larger investment. RFID may be the future of identification but is only an option in an extremely organized flow. Decide at what stage labelling should be done. The leaner you want your process to be the earlier labelling should be done.

2. Decide on Operational Flow
To optimize operational flow, consider throughput and the items to be conveyed. The distance that an object must travel will determine what type of solution you need. If long conveyor lines are needed, automatic data capture is most appropriate, if you operate in a small warehouse environment, with goods moving over less distance, static measuring may be the best option. Independent of flow, strive to capture data within the same area, in as few operations as possible.

3. Decide on Necessary Data
The more data captured, the better control you have. However, not everything needs to be done in one step. First, identify the specific challenges in your operation and the data that is essential for efficient operation. If insufficient time for measurement is a key issue, then automatic dimensioning and identification will be a fundamental step in your process. If miss-sorts and conveyor jams affect you, you should consider a solution that offers parcel positioning.

4. Establish a Procedure for Handling Rejects
On a fully automated line, there will be a certain number of no-reads and there are different ways of dealing with them. Your system can be configured to stop for human intervention if a label is un-readable. A reject line can be set up to allow all un-readable items to be diverted. If speed is your priority, you may decide to let the no-reads pass through, but do all you can to make sure you have equipment employed that offers the highest possible read rate.

5. Final Layout and Infrastructure
Based on your chosen data capture method, supporting IT infrastructure should be selected. It is recommended that customer data be stored in a certified database. Dynamic systems are often slowed down by the slow response of a computer host system; make sure that you spend enough time and effort on building up an adequate IT resource.

Mettler-Toledo India also confirmed its active participation in India Warehousing Show 2012 from 26th - 28th April, 2012 to showcase its latest technologies and products designed for transport and logistics industry in India. As a key sponsor of the event, Mettler-Toledo will be at the Booth No – A39 exhibiting the TLX MulticaptureTM dimensioning, weighing and scanning solution with conveyors and labelling system from FB Automazione.

"The transport and logistics industry in India is growing fast. Such growth requires reliable partners in automation. We can offer complete, turn-key solutions for automating the measuring process, improving overall handling and securing the revenue of our customers." said Olav Stadaas, Managing Director of Mettler-Toledo Cargoscan.

Mettler-Toledo India releases a new white paper on food safety, quality, GFSI and certifications to provide a comprehensive guidance for a given business under Indian regulatory frameworks.

Mumbai, Maharashtra -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/12/2012 -- Mettler-Toledo India, a wholly subsidiary of Mettler-Toledo Inc. (NYSE: MTD), announced the publication of a new white paper on food safety and certification to provide a comprehensive guidance on relevant guidelines which are ideal for a given business under Indian regulatory frameworks. Food safety is increasingly top-of-mind for consumers, retailers and food manufacturers alike, with pressure mounting on suppliers to demonstrate the quality of their operations through certification. However, navigating and understanding the numerous global certification standards can be difficult, the new white paper entitled "Food Safety & Quality and the Trend Towards Certification" outlines an overview of the regulatory and consumer pressures behind increasing food safety certification, and explores the different standards currently available to food retailers and manufacturers.

When looking at certification, the white paper takes as its starting point the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarks, and then focuses on the four accepted standards most widely in use, which include the BRC Global Standard, FSSC 22000, International Featured Standard (IFS), and SQF 2000. Through detailing the requirements, reporting, procedures and audits that each certification entails, the white paper provides guidance for producers to find the standard that is the best fit for their market, needs and customer preferences. It also indicates parameters that can be used to evaluate the most appropriate certification standard to pursue.

The trend towards more stringent food safety and quality regulation will continue as consumer awareness increases, and certification will be increasingly important as producers seek to distinguish their products in competitive global markets. Mettler-Toledo's white paper points to the launch of the new Chinese food safety law, and the U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) as examples of recent legislation affecting certification processes and suggests that more and more manufacturers and suppliers will seek certification to stay ahead of the regulatory curve.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Siddharth Karchroo, Business Manager, Mettler-Toledo India said, "Food safety crises are continuing to increase public scrutiny of food producers; consequently consumers are demanding higher quality and safer food. Working with a well designed quality data management system, the right weighing technology and an appropriate product inspection program deliver higher food safety and process quality."

Mettler-Toledo Safeline, the leader in the field of industrial metal detection solutions offering the most advanced range of metal detection equipment in the world, unveils its latest range of Profile metal detectors in India

Mumbai, Maharashtra -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/28/2012 -- With ISO 22000 is set to become the global HACCP based international food safety standard, Mettler-Toledo Safeline, the leader in the field of industrial metal detection solutions, unveils its latest range of Profile metal detectors in India. The company offers the most advanced range of metal detection equipment in the world with a solution for every application.

Available in rectangular apertures for conveyorised applications, the "Profile" range is available in fixed, dual or multi and Selectable frequency configurations. The "Profile LS" variant of the range offers customers the freedom of choice to select the level of functionality required to suit their actual requirements. This is achieved through the selection of optional software which is designed to address specific business functions. The range is further complimented by the release of a new Profile ASN model which is designed to address applications where installation space is restricted. This comprehensive portfolio ensures that whatever the application, there is a Profile metal detection solution available.

Detection sensitivity levels have been enhanced to new heights with the development of a new software algorithm that significantly reduces the impact of signals present in the environment whilst simultaneously minimising the size of the signal (known as the product effect) given off by the product being inspected. The use of intelligent multi-channel technology also improves detection capability to a level previously unachievable.

Whilst sensitivity is the measure of metal detection performance, further customer focussed features have been developed to make the Profile an integral part of a user's effective contamination prevention programme.

Ensuring compliance is achieved through meeting the demands of a HACCP programme, helping to increase on-line productivity, ensuring uptime is maximised and reducing costs are all key fundamental elements for food producers.

A unique Condition Monitoring system monitors key elements of the Profile metal detectors functionality and works on the basis that prevention is better than cure especially when measured against the costs of downtime. Many metal detectors in use today are designated as Critical Control Points (CCP's). Should a problem occur with the metal detector during the inspection process, the production line should shut down until the problem is rectified as the CCP is no longer protected.

The cost associated with a line shutdown can be high. A metal detector that can advise when a fault occurs can be seen as beneficial as it allows for emergency service to be undertaken. However a metal detector that can give an advanced warning that a fault may be about to occur before it happens allows preventative maintenance to be scheduled when the line is out of service saving time and money.

"In order to maximize on quality and performance, METTLER TOLEDO has brought the unparallel metal detection solution, Profile Series, utilizing sophisticated software technology, Profile Series is very helpful in complying HACCP requirements and also for broader needs of External Food Safety regulations. Whether your products are wet, dry, hot, chilled or frozen, Profile Technology provides the ultimate solution in metal contaminant detection capability." said Kailash Kale, Business Leader - Product Inspection. "All metal contamination including ferrous, non-ferrous and even the most difficult to detect non-magnetic stainless steels are readily identified, enabling them to be removed efficiently from the manufacturing process. Profile detectors in real sense provide a vital building block in helping the customers to establish improved processes and manufacturing efficiency thus increase productivity, to ensure uptime is maximized and also to reduce costly downtime."

Continuing on the theme of maximising production uptime, Profile has been developed to address one of the biggest reported failure modes of any process or packing line equipment - that of operator error or unauthorised entry to the controls of equipment.

To address this issue, a secure personalised login system that allocates every user their personalised entry password has been created. To help navigation around the menu structure, operators can specify their own settings in a choice of 18 languages to ensure that when they log on, they can quickly and easily identify the operations they have been given access to. Every login to the detector is stored in an access log that can be viewed on the colour touch screen which reports the name of the operator and date and time when they logged onto the controls. This provides far greater levels of traceability and system security.

Using the latest in communications technology, Profile detectors can be configured to send email or text communications to various key people within the business reporting important events or issues. These could include missed performance verification tests, early warnings from the Condition Monitoring system.

It is even possible to configure the detector to communicate directly with Mettler Toledo service organisations to allow the fastest levels of response possible.

Mumbai, Maharashtra -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/25/2011 -- MMettler-Toledo India, a wholly subsidiary of Mettler-Toledo Inc. (NYSE: MTD), launches its new E4 XLS line of ergonomic electronic pipettes developed by Rainin Instrument, LLC, raising the bar on electronic pipetting performance and ease-of-use. Featuring a large color screen, precision joystick and carousel-like menu, the E4 XLS makes moving between options and settings extremely fast and highly intuitive.

Until the E4 XLS, complexity was the bane of electronic pipettes and the primary reason many researchers avoided them. Electronic pipettes with advanced features are not new, but with small data screens and complex navigation schemes, their appeal among researchers has been limited. In fact, most major electronic pipette manufacturers have sacrificed features and capabilities in their latest models as a tactic to reduce complexity.

Rainin has taken an entirely different approach by advanced drawing in cell phone and gaming technology to simplify navigation and make operation fast and easy. The E4 XLS employs a fully functioning joystick, robust processor and large 16-bit color screen that transform pipette operation to the next level, making it highly graphical and far less linear.

"Featuring a large color screen, precision joystick and carousel-like menu, the E4 XLS makes moving between options and settings extremely fast and highly intuitive." said Pravin Jain, General Manager, Rainin. "This pipette has more features and capabilities than any other electronic pipette in the market, yet is incredibly simple and intuitive to use. The immediacy with which first time users can pick it up and almost instantly access its most advanced features is astonishing. In minutes, and without an instruction manual, people intuitively know how to use this pipette."

In addition to basic pipetting functions, the E4 XLS offers an array of features that range from simple to highly complex. It can be easily programmed for almost any application, from setting up mixing protocols, such as serial dilutions, to volume sequencing, reverse pipetting and titrate. Also unique to the E4 XLS is its "True Manual" mode, which gives researchers precise, real-time control over aspiration and dispense speed.

Like all Rainin pipettes, the E4 XLS meets the highest standards for accuracy and precision. Careful attention has also been paid to the pipette's balance and weight, making it the most comfortable and ergonomic electronic pipette available. The contoured body, easy-to-reach controls and exceptionally even balance minimize fatigue, even after hours of use.

The E4 XLS is available as a single channel, multichannel with 8 or 12 channels, and 6- or 8-channel adjustable spacer in a wide range of volumes. All feature Rainin's patented LTS LiteTouch System, which is proven to significantly reduce the force required for tip ejection. Single channel E4 XLS models are also available with traditional shafts.

Mettler-Toledo India announces the publication of white paper on continuous Real-Time TOC measurements & TOC analyzer. Developed independently by METTLER TOLEDO THORNTON , the white paper takes an in-depth into the various aspects of process analytical technology, continuous measurements, real-time recovery and error to control total organic carbon improving water system performance by significant level.

Mumbai, Maharashtra -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/29/2011 -- Process Analytics Division of Mettler-Toledo India announced the publication of a white paper entitled "Improving Water System Performance – Continuous Real-Time TOC Measurements", discussing the importance of rapid, continuous and reliable TOC (Total Organic Carbon) measurement and control for real time critical water release in Pharmaceutical and Biotech manufacturing processes.

India is having the most number of USFDA approved pharmaceutical companies outside US and more are aspiring to get USFDA approval. Water being the most widely used excipients in Pharmaceutical and Biotech manufacturing processes, USFDA mandates monitoring of TOC as specified in the monographs of the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and in the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) for Purified Water (PW) and Water for Injection (WFI), as well as Highly Purified Water (HPW). The USFDA's Process Analytical Technology (PAT) initiative promotes the use of real-time measurements with the objective of ensuring good product quality. This allows Real Time Release (RTR) of product and leads to a more efficient operation.

According to this white paper, "organics are introduced into natural water systems by leachates in soil, typically from the decomposition of vegetation, animal waste and soil runoff. Organic compounds in water are a concern at all levels of water purity from potable water to pure waters used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. The source water used for the production of Purified Water and WFI is drinking water as indicated in the major pharmacopeia. Potable water quality can vary seasonally according to climatic changes and municipal treatment strategies, which results in varying TOC concentrations. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, organics are a contaminant to be controlled as they are a food source for bacteria in the water purification system."

"Developed independently by METTLER TOLEDO THORNTON, the white paper takes an in-depth into the various aspects of process analytical technology, continuous measurements, real-time recovery and error to control total organic carbon improving water system performance by significant level." said Kiran Hande, Product and Marketing Manager - Process Analytics Division, Mettler-Toledo India. "The white paper addresses the key aspects of quality and manufacturing requirements of pharmaceutical industry which are also very relevant to Indian industry to comply with its regulations."

METTLER TOLEDO THORNTON being one of the leading manufactures of online TOC and Conductivity systems, it has been their endeavor to create awareness about the Water Testing in pharmaceutical industry according to USFDA in India in last few years. METTLER TOLEDO THORNTON had also arranged seminars in cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Vishakhapatnam and Baddi. The speaker was Dr. Anthony C. Bevilacqua, Ph.D and the ex-Chairman of the USP Pharmaceutical Water Expert Committee.

The new XS2 Pharma Checkweigher has been designed with the specific needs of pharmaceutical brands in mind. The system offers precise product guidance and handling throughout the transfer process for increased weighing accuracy and exact product orientation.

Mumbai, Maharashtra -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/07/2011 -- Mettler Toledo Garvens announced the launching of the latest version of XS2 Pharma Checkweigher in India. The new XS2 Pharma Checkweigher has been designed with the specific needs of pharmaceutical brands in mind. The system offers precise product guidance and handling throughout the transfer process for increased weighing accuracy and exact product orientation. With the XS2 Pharma, Mettler Toledo Garvens have created a Checkweigher that offers far more than weight control capability. Units are weighed with the utmost precision, handled with maximum care, and moved through the line at high conveyor speeds. Mettler-Toledo's product inspection portfolio, which also includes x-ray and metal detection, has been strengthened further by this induction of Checkweigher in the portfolio.

Its highly precise product transfer unit (top and bottom belt) offers optimum product guidance for pharmaceutical goods of various sizes, ranging from the smallest up to products that weigh 600g. Products are processed with high stability thanks to the precise parallel position of top and bottom conveyors in the transfer unit. The top and bottom belt can be easily adjusted to take over the products from the previous packaging machine. Perfectly synchronised conveyor motors avoid any damage or deformation caused by unequal pressure during product gripping. Further, the XS2 Pharma's refined weighing and outfeed conveyors feature small rollers to ensure smooth passage for even the most delicate packages.

Aside from product handling benefits, the XS2 Pharma also offers highly accurate weight control due to a new weighcell with advanced filter technology. The very robust design is reflected by the high ingress protection degree IP69k which is "standard" for this weighcell. Also higher resolution thanks to smaller divisions increases better opportunities for the Weights and Measures approval process. The weighcell features rounded surfaces that ensure best possible protection against adhesion or accumulation of any fine dust particles.

All aspects of the XS2 Pharma are designed to be easy and quick to clean. The extremely quiet drive system is designed to have minimal influence on the weighing results thus giving maximum measurement accuracy even at high throughput.

The XS2 Pharma's open flap and askew package detection features guarantee consistency on the packaging line and protect downstream packaging machines. Using a single light barrier that is suitable for all product lengths, the new askew package detection feature does away with the need for mechanical adjustment of photocells, reducing changeover time. Its product setup memory stores correct parameters for enhanced detection capabilities. The new system has also been reduced in size, and requires no extension of Checkweigher length for integration. The open flap detection unit can be adjusted simply with a hand wheel, and its highly precise mechanical guidance ensures added exactitude.

XS2 Pharma is easily adjustable, allowing manufacturers to tweak weighing requirements and line setups for maximum performance. A clear, 15" colour touchscreen puts all necessary information at the operator's fingertips for easy product changeover. Simple conveyor belt replacement reduces inspection and routine maintenance time which in turn reduces downtime. "Today one of the challenge Indian pharmaceutical industry faces is striking a balance between high speed, high accuracy & stability in online Checkweighing – XS2 Pharma is just the perfect solution. " said Sunil Saha, Head –Product Inspection, Mettler-Toledo India Pvt. Ltd.. The capabilities of the XS2 Pharma go well beyond weighing. We understand the needs of our pharmaceutical industry clients and optimised this system specifically for them. Advances in product stability, weighing accuracy and user intuitiveness are now possible.

The XS2 Pharma now features an optional digital position indicator with acknowledgement signals to eliminate operator errors during the setup for product changes. The Checkweigher will only allow production to commence when all manual adjustments to belts, sensors and other components have been carried out correctly. This feature now makes it possible for these manual adjustments to be automatically entered into the audit trail and greatly enhances conformity to 21 CFR Part 11.

"The industry sets stringent standards and it is fundamental in order to gain customers trust, that they meet regulatory requirements. And, the XS2 meets and exceeds all pharmaceutical safety standards. Also, to ensure compliance a dedicated Equipment Qualification Package is available to aid and fully document the validation process," said Dirk Bettels, Product Manager, Mettler Toledo Garvens.

Mettler Toledo Garvens is also offering a very comprehensive training on XS2 Checkweighing at its Asia Pacific Training Centre in Vasai. The training centre is well equipped with Service Training Test Rigs for Checkweighing and demonstration machines for all models of Checkweighers launched in India. There is also a high level support system at Mumbai to respond all customers' requirements promptly and efficiently by its field engineers across India.
