Nisthora for cosmetics and personal care.
Creams, lotions, shampoos and powders are mixed in batches and filled on fast lines with frequent changeovers. Nisthora measures each line live and ties every batch to its machine data.
What gets in the way.
Many variants
Shades, sizes and fragrances mean many changeovers a day.
Batch quality
A mixing batch that ran too hot or too long affects every unit filled from it.
Fast filling lines
Short jams and starved machines add up quickly on a filling line.
What Nisthora connects to and measures.
Machines
- Mixing and homogenising vessels
- Filling machines
- Capping and labelling
- Tube fillers
- Cartoners
- Case packers
Readings
- Units filled
- Run / stop / starved / blocked
- Rejected units
- Vessel temperature and mixing time
- Fill weight
- Line speed
Typical stop reasons
- Product or shade changeover
- Cleaning
- Label jam
- No components
- Fill weight check
- Waiting for bulk
These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.
Batch, usually
Each mixing batch feeds many filled units. Nisthora links every batch to its vessel readings, filling line, shift and stops.
A day with Nisthora
A filling line's Pareto shows Product changeover as its biggest loss. Shift Performance shows one crew changes over much faster; their method becomes the standard.
