What Does AVID Bring To Your Project?
PRECISION
-
AVID products complete an extensive internal qualification and testing process prior to commissioning. As a commitment to precision and client confidence, all systems must complete a <10% repeatability & reproducibility ("GRR") study prior to release to the customer. AVID clients have confidence that their AVID instruments will perform beyond their day-to-day metrology needs.
-
NIST standards are included with most systems for customer verification. System calibration features are built into the software, and are accessible by Admin level users.
​
SIMPLICITY
-
AVID’s system user-interface makes system operation simple. A part selection library and ‘load-and-go’ operation allows users unfamiliar with complex bottle measurement to gather quality-critical data by simply pressing a button.
-
Systems are built around a user interface that permits easy setup of new parts.
-
AVID systems follow dimensional nomenclature compliant with SPI, GPI, and ISBT.
​
​FLEXIBILITY
-
Standard AVID products are designed to handle a wide range of container geometries, materials, and dimensions. While customized systems are available for unique product-specific projects, standard AVID products adapt to evolving customer needs without modification of the original hardware.
-
Admin users are able to setup & modify part programs. Outside vendor support is not generally required for new part setup.
-
Generally few or no changeout parts required.
​
SPEED / EFFICIENCY
-
Manual measurement methods are unable to keep up with modern testing requirements. AVID’s fast search routines, autonomous operation, and simple setup accelerates test-to-action time far beyond the capabilities of manual tools and competitor measurement instruments.
-
AVID systems are designed to automate bottle/preform measurement, handling & data output.
-
Part programs are customizable for highly-detailed qualifications or fast critical production checks.
KNOWLEDGE
-
35+ years’ experience providing automated testing solutions - not promises - to the plastic & glass packaging industries. AVID field service engineers bring years of technical experience when working with customers and systems.
-
AVID remains committed to providing solutions with defined capabilities.
​
SUPPORT
-
Customer care and service is an AVID ownership priority, with most issues addressed within hours of contact. Support is readily available in the form of in-plant services, remote technical assistance, setup services, and training classes, all ensuring that client care needs are met long after the original sale.
-
AVID is proud of its reputation for fast and personalized support & service response.
