WHY Scale Monitor™ AND WHAT IT IS?

The common problem of weighing is that the process is still manual and relies on operators, so there is a big chance of human error. The next setback is manual data collecting and retyping the results into computers, programs, etc. This is another chance for errors, but the bigger problem here is the time lost in order to provide the results. This should be easy to automate with all the fancy technology we know nowadays, right?

In the digital age, sadly, the scales are still “primitive” instruments, which haven’t changed in over 50 years. The last big thing in weighing were digital scales. What do you do if you bought or own a scale, and you need another function on it? You buy a new scale every time?
In every business multiple operations are performed, which require a different setup of the measuring equipment. The equipment is expensive and designed for specific needs, which can not be changed. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could adjust the equipment according to your needs and process requirements?
When you weigh, all your scale provides is the weight of the material. Don’t you find important to know what was on the scale? Who performed the operation and why? The time and date of operation? Workorder? etc… You can still provide this data manually by the operator, but this means additional work, and the reliability of the collected data with human error in the equation. With automation of the proces you would gain 100% reliabilty, real time data without any additional effort. Now this sounds nice, right?
LET’S BREAK DOWN A SCALE, TO SEE WHERE LIES THE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENTS:
3 MAIN COMPONENTS OF EVERY SCALE ARE:
- LOAD CELL: The measuring instrument
- WEIGHT INDICATOR: The “brain” of the operation, that processes and displays the collected data, also enables the weighing functions
- WEIGHING PLATE: The surface for the material to be put on So the improvement potential lies in the weight indicator. Now let’s see how we can make it “up to date” with the digital age we are living in.


We invented the first virtual weight indicator, naming it Scale Monitor. It is accessible online, via web browser, by simple login or scanning the QR code, with which we eliminated the needs of any installation process or hardware demands.
The indicator allows you to use advanced weighing functions on simple scales. With sophisticated technology, we achieved that Scale Monitor™ can carry out complex operations, that even advanced scales are not able to.
The user interface is fully adjustable. Everything form buttons, size, display, data collecting, functions, parameters, protocols, units, graphic,fonts, colours, etc. can be adjusted and modified according to the user needs and operation requirements.

So basically all you need is a simple scale and a mobile device or computer. Your advanced weighing instrument is always available for you, online and accessible from any device, just like your google account. So no matter which scale you are using, you can do it from the same device whenever and wherever you need. You can do it even remotely if the material is automatically distributed in your weighing process(conveyor, manufacturing line, silo…). Scale Monitor™ is a must-have tool when it comes to digitalization or automation of scales.
