Data manage your forklift scales
March 1st 2011 An automated data management system
for forklift scales aims to boost efficiency
Avery Weigh-Tronix has introduced automated data
management system for forklift truck scales for ISO 9002
or ISO 14000.
Using an optional Wi-Fi link, data from the forklift scale
transfers to a back office system in real time.
Chris McAllister, product manager for Avery Weigh-Tronix says:
"Many people understand the advantages of using a forklift scale to
lift, weigh and move loads in one operation. To improve efficiency
and to provide a traceable audit trail, an organisation must improve
the way the data is captured, recorded and then used.
"Our system can capture, store and transfer the information to
a back office system automatically."
Available with the Avery Weigh-Tronix forklift truck scale, the
FLI 425 in-cab indicator has a windows CE.NET platform and a
7" touch screen colour LCD display. It offers four data capture
options, a standard configuration, a counting application,
checkweighing or a data manager solution. All four options can
be accessed via the touch screen menu.
After collecting and recording weight and other data, the FL
425 can transfer it in several ways: by serial ports, using a USB
memory stick, by Ethernet, using a Wi-Fi link or via Bluetooth.
The system will store up to
2000 transactions. More articles from Avery Weigh-Tronix Limited: |
