There is always a need
for accurate weighing. From the roadside weighbridge checking
44-tonne trucks to the laboratory balance recording milligram
quantities of chemicals, the measurement of weight plays a
vital role in everyday activities.
As one of the world’s largest manufacturers
of weighing equipment, Avery Weigh-Tronix has a comprehensive
range from simple counting scales to large industrial applications.
Avery Weigh-Tronix’s weighing equipment is used in areas
such as supermarkets, airports, pharmaceuticals, construction,
chemical, and quality control.
While it’s easy to read off an analogue scale or jot
down a digital reading, repetitive weighing often demands
an automated system. Avery Weigh-Tronix has developed tailored
software packages to record, calculate, and transmit raw data
to a central point. The latest weighing equipment comes with
an RS-232 serial port to capture and transmit accurate weight
readings in real time.
Perle’s SX Serial Cards provide Avery Weigh-Tronix
the ideal solution for connecting weighing equipment and tramsitting
weight data to computer software as part of a total solution.
The Perle SX consists of a PCI serial card and external 8-port
RS-232 Device Concentrators. Thanks to their high reliability,
no maintenance requirements, and sophisticated management
features, Perle’s SX serial cards are perfect for the job.
In an ever progressing technology revolution, the Perle SX
serial card enables the networking of multiple weighing stations
that can be monitored from a central control room. This means
a smoother flow of operation and less time being wasted manually
recording data on the production floor.
Avery Weigh-Tronix uses Perle SX Serial Cards with
its PlantPower quantity software for close control of pack
fills in the food, drink, chemicals, and manufacturing industries.
The serial cards link weigh stations to a stand-alone management
PC or network. The software enables users to view real-time
reports as well as managing filling operations.
The Avery Weigh-Tronix M725 data handling solution also uses
Perle SX Serial Cards. The M725 software gives
a breakdown of product or waste movement in factories. The
Perle SX serial cards connect multiple weighing equipment back to
a central control and reporting station. For example, eight
scales can be connected to this sophisticated PC package where
data is stored in a Microsoft Access database for sharing
with other applications.
“Accurate weighing is at the forefront of
many businesses today. We ensure this is achievable accurately
and Perle plays a part in that.” David
Edge, Product and Marketing Manager at Avery Weigh-Tronix.
