Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 Shown is a filling machine FM 110 configured to output packages 111 filled with food products. FM 110 includes a large number of components and subsystems. However, not all of these are necessary to describe the disclosure in detail, as one skilled in the art will readily understand how to practice the embodiments described herein without such details. FM 110 includes mechanical device 112 , FM control system 114 and operator panel 118 . As the skilled artisan will appreciate, the machinery 112 typically includes package handling and filling devices suitable for filling packages with food products. The operation panel 118 typically includes a graphical display and various input devices such as soft buttons and the like. An operator 119 interacts with the FM 110 via an operation panel 118 . The operator 119 may be a human operator who then interacts via the operator panel 118, but in some implementations it is envisioned that the operator 119 is generally an...

Abstract

Information is obtained from a package filling machine (110), regarding sampling occasions in the form of sampling records. Each sampling record comprises a first time stamp for the sampling occasion, information describing a trigger for the sampling occasion, a number of package samples taken at the sampling occasion, and a second time stamp that specifies when the package samples were taken. Analysis information regarding contaminated package samples (133) is obtained from a package sample analysis system (132,117). The sampling records and analysis information are processed to link contaminated package samples with sampling occasions. A table is generated that comprises, for each sampling occasion, the first time stamp, the information that describes a trigger for the sampling occasion, the number of package samples taken at the sampling occasion, the second time stamp and a number of contaminated package samples at the sampling occasion.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments herein relate to methods and devices in a packaging line monitoring system PLMS in which information related to packaging samples is processed. Background technique [0002] In a typical packaging line, including a filling machine, where packages are filled with food or other content associated with very low tolerances with respect to e.g. bacterial content, there should be an arrangement or plan according to which , the operator draws a package sample from the packaging line for incubation and sterility analysis. During this analysis, the vast majority of samples are usually found to be sterile. However, when a sterile sample is found during this sampling and analysis process, this triggers some kind of action. Such an action may be an inspection of the warehouse in which packages from the packaging line have been stored and subsequent re-sampling of the stored packages. [0003] Usually, the sampling plan specifies that several samples...
