Upgrading a 2003 Axle Scale: A Modern Solution for Scrapyards
Got an Old Scale? Worried You’ll Have to Buy a New One in order to digitalize? Don’t as Scale Monitor is the Solution!
A customer had an axle scale dating back to 2003. They were hesitant about upgrading, worried that the costs would be so high they’d have no choice but to invest in a completely new scale. However, we were able to offer a much more affordable solution with Scale Monitor.
The customer needed the following from the upgrade:
- In/out weighing capabilities
- Multilingual support
- Extra fields for custom data
- Integration with custom databases
- A dedicated button to control the road barrier
- Customized weighing tickets
- System-wide integration across all scrapyards, regardless of the scale manufacturer, with full ERP integration
While this list might seem daunting, we completed the entire upgrade in just two hours. Here’s what we did:
- Added the protocol for the old axle scale
- Developed a customized virtual indicator with extra fields
- Set up custom databases
- Created a landscape-oriented A4 weighing report
- Integrated a special button to control the road barrier
The best part? The customer didn’t need to buy a new scale! Instead, Scale Monitor brought their old scale back to life at a fraction of the expected cost.
In the customer’s own words: “Scale Monitor is the perfect solution that gave our old scale a new life—without the high upgrade costs we feared.”
Don’t let your aging equipment worry you. Scale Monitor can modernize your existing scales—without the hefty price tag!
