Root-cause method
Diagnose the product, feed, weighing path and pack before changing the target.
Overfill, underweight packs, drift and slow output can have the same visible symptom but different causes. Keep a time-aligned record of hopper level, feeder settings, weights, rejects and stops.
| Symptom | Evidence to collect first | Common areas to inspect |
|---|---|---|
| Mean weight drifting | Weight trend, hopper level, product batch and reference check. | Density change, refill, tare, build-up or mechanical contact. |
| Wide spread | Consecutive weights, feeder stages and cycle timing. | Unstable flow, in-flight product, vibration or pack loss. |
| Slow output | Cycle timestamps and finished-pack bottleneck. | Trim feed, operator presentation, bagger, sealing or inspection. |
| High giveaway | Mean, standard deviation, under-target rule and set-point. | Process spread, conservative target, reject feedback or poor flow. |
