It weighs, stores, processes: the new noax IPC weighing terminal

noax Technologies AG's new weighing terminal combines the precision of electronic scales with the capabilities of a robust industrial PC. Using a specially developed weighing controller, the weighing terminal (or terminal) can process weighing results immediately and transmit them to central systems within the company. The calibratable scales software with built-in alibi storage enables all weighings to be traced seamlessly. That makes noax the ideal solution for weighing, storing and processing data measurements using a single device.
Is the delivery correct? What is the permissible tolerance between individual components of a recipe? How much merchandise was packed? Determining weights is one of the core production and logistics tasks. This is one of the greatest potential cost saving areas. These data also have to be available to other business areas and therefore be processed frequently. noax Technologies AG has developed a weighing terminal to combine these two tasks - measuring weights and processing measurement results. The noax weighing terminal is a fully integrated system, combining the advantages of a robust noax industrial PC with the precision of electronic scales. The industrial PC is the linchpin when it comes to processing measurement data. Two analog weighing platforms or weighbridges can be connected to the weighing terminal. The scales can be connected either with a single range weighing machine with up to 10,000 pieces or a multiple range or multiple division weighing machine with up to 2 x 3,000 pieces.
The multi-range capable scales feature a number of measuring ranges (for example: A measuring range from 4 to 600 kg with 0.2 kg increments and an additional measuring range of 600 to 1500 kg at 0.5 kg increments). If the scales enter the next higher measuring range (in this case; measuring range up to 1500 kg, 0.5 kg increments), it remains in this higher range and does not revert to the next lower measuring range. The multiple division weighing machine has the same measuring ranges but automatically alternates between them within the measuring ranges. The weight is calculated using special software running on Windows Operating Systems. This transforms the noax IPC into a universal weighing terminal. The calibratable scales software with built-in alibi storage enables all weighings to be traced seamlessly over the network as well. All data can be integrated with an application program using an easy to connect 32bit Windows Software OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) interface. This allows the scales to be controlled directly from the application program. Both a calibratable and non calibratable version of the noax weighing terminal are offered, depending on what the customer wants and the application area.
