Why should continuous operating data be recorded during a packaging machine trial?
• Log cycle time for 8+ continuous hours to verify fluctuation stays within ±5%.
• Continuous runs expose intermittent faults like heat-seal temperature drift and film tension variation that spot checks miss.
• Count jams, stops and pass rate during the run as quantified FAT acceptance evidence.
• Record servo and PLC/HMI alarm logs to identify fault recurrence patterns for supplier correction.
• Continuous data derives OEE and throughput decay curves to confirm contracted capacity.
