With the new software SHARKNET 2 users can easily control Cassel metal detectors, checkweigher and X-Rays. The software logs and reports all data automatically.

The German manufacturer Cassel Messtechnik GmbH has recentlly launched the Windows-based software SHARKNET 2. It is a convenient solution to document operational data on a central computer according to HACCP and IFS. In addition users can configure metal detector parameters remotely.

The tool can be used in factories where both Cassel metal detector types - METAL SHARK® 1 and METAL SHARK® 2 - are used as well as Cassel WEIGH SHARK checkweigher series and X-Rays.

Data processing of control points in the production process is considerably gaining in importance. In the food and consumer goods industry metal detection is not only prescribed by law, such as IFS and HACCP. Meanwhile, also supermarket chains, discounters and downstream manufacturers demand metal detection technology for quality control. Retail organisations like the British Retail Consortium (BRC) have even developed their own standards, that are executed all over the world.

Producers using SHARKNET 2 save themselves work intensive documentions and the compiling of necessary data. The question whether metal detection was ensured during a given batch can be quickly answered at any time.

Controlling all units from a central location prevents faulty operations of users at the production line. Even an economical remote maintenance is possible when encountering technical difficulties. Hence, on-site service might not be necessary. Companies decrease operation costs using SHARKNET 2 which was tested in practical applications.
