Innosen, a leading provider of quality assurance sensors for the metal packaging sector, has introduced the IS1100 Innolytix, an advanced software solution that converts fragmented factory data into meaningful, actionable intelligence. 

Designed to serve as a central “control tower” for quality operations, Innolytix integrates standalone gauges into one comprehensive dashboard, giving can manufacturers clear, real-time visibility of enamel ratings and coating thickness measurements.

Traditionally, can makers have relied on separate gauge systems that depend on manual data recording—an approach that increases the risk of human error and limits immediate insight into production performance. 

The IS1100 Innolytix resolves this issue by linking directly to factory equipment using RS232 and RS485 communication protocols. It automatically gathers production data and stores it in a structured, local database for consistent and reliable access.

“Innolytix goes beyond simple data collection—it empowers smarter decision-making,” said Luc Nelen, President of Innosen. “It gives manufacturers a deeper understanding of their processes, delivering transparency, traceability, and data-driven performance insights for every batch.”

The platform transforms raw production figures into intuitive visual representations. Operators can analyse information through interactive heat maps, trend lines, bell curves, and box-and-whisker charts. These tools make it easy to detect patterns, deviations, and irregularities across multiple production lines in real time, eliminating the need to wait for end-of-batch summaries.

Core features of the IS1100 Innolytix include:

Universal Connectivity: Compatible with widely used industry equipment, including the Sencon SI9100 (Semi-Automatic Enamel Rater), Sencon SI9600 (Coating Thickness Gauge), Sencon SI9500 (Digital Film Weight Gauge), and CMC-Kuhnke ENR-4000 (Digital Enamel Rater). For integration with additional gauges, users can contact Innosen directly.

Smart Alerts and Control Limits: Users can set Upper and Lower Control Limits (UCL/LCL). When measurements exceed defined thresholds, the system instantly issues alerts—yellow for control limit breaches and red for specification limit violations—supporting timely corrective action and continuous process improvement.

Dual-Mode Analytics: The dashboard enables effortless switching between real-time monitoring for live production oversight and historical analysis for detailed audits, providing full visibility of both current operations and past performance.

Traceability and Compliance: Built to meet the strict standards of the metal packaging industry, Innolytix delivers complete traceability. Data is automatically recorded and categorised by job, batch, shift, or operator, replacing manual input with a streamlined, accurate digital record. All logs and raw datasets can be exported in CSV format for reporting and compliance requirements.

The IS1100 Innolytix is now available for deployment in quality labs, control rooms, and management offices. It operates on a standard PC running Windows 10 or 11 and requires a minimum of 16GB RAM.
