What is it – a scale?

ScaleWare is a computer-aided manual weighing system for the manual dosing of powders and solids. The main purpose of ScaleWare is to ensure that all manual weighing is performed within a defined tolerance margin.

How does it work?

ScaleWare consists of a high-quality electronic scale connected to a process computer via serial interface. The computer itself is connected to the TanWare network. ScaleWare receives weighing specifications directly from the formula running on DrumWare. It forwards these instructions to the operator via LCD screen, who then weighs solids manually to make the requested mix.

How does it prevent weighing mistakes?

ScaleWare monitors the weighing step by step and gives a green light to the operator only if the weight of each measured component is within the allowed tolerance. ScaleWare effectively prevents mistakes in the manual preparation of mixtures. This is recognised as one of the most uncontrolled operation in the tannery resulting in much waste and inconsistency.

What if my operators are careless?

ScaleWare tracks operator ID, time, job number, and weighing precision and records this data for later evaluation. ScaleWare offers an almost instant return on investment, by improving quality and reducing chemical waste.
