MiWeigh Positive Scale, add product based on a pre set target weight.

The positive scale enables the operator to add product, based on a pre set target weight into a tray, punnet or package.

The in-built HMI screen acts as a visual display for the target weight using a traffic light weight management system. Customer images can be uploaded for product types and product locations, which removes the need for physical product display cards, removing paper from the production environment.

The positive scale is programmed to auto tare after each correct weight. This is ideal for messy product environments. The screen can also act as a manual tare if required.

The positive scale has repeat pack prevention software installed to avoid a pack being constantly weighted and not placed on the line. The scale will then go into a pre-set lockdown time set up through the recipe.

Both the positive and negative load cells are ultra fast and extremely accurate. They work to less than 1g tolerance on the load cells. The settle time being circa 150m/s with environmental filters included to ensure accuracy. This is much quicker than competitor systems.

The scales offer an RFID system to track the operator rather than the scale.

The newest addition to the range is the . This ultra portable positive scale is perfect if you already have a weighing line set up. It has all the same great benefits of its bigger brother using the same data capturing systems.

The Master Control Hub (M.C.H.) is the main control screen for the production line and managers. The recipes are created through a simple and easy to use program called the MiWizard. This can be done remotely on any media and doesn’t have to be on the M.C.H. All tolerances, product costs, images and KPIs can be saved into a recipe. This recipe can then be sent remotely to the M.C.H. and is available on the shop floor to select once and operator has logged in with the RFID system.

The M.C.H acts as the master and the positive and negative scales as slaves, the M.C.H. sends remotely all stored recipes, so line changes between products are rapid. The pre-set information send to the scales include target weight, tolerances and product images. These will be sent to the individual scales even if they are all different.

Live reporting on the M.C.H HMI screen gives feedback to line leaders who can see performance for each scale/operator individually based against the pre-set KPIs which could be giveaway, speed or number of tares. This can be reviewed remotely on any media in real-time. This function allows intervention and training to be provided to operators, where need, during a production run.

The software enables individual component costs to be input during the recipe programming set (ingredients, as well as extras, which may not be weighted, such as sauce added per pack, or even packaging costs) to give a true cost per unit produced as well as the cost of giveaway product.

At the end of each production run, a full detailed report is automatically emailed to a registered email address (which could be a group) providing a detailed analysis of the production data. This data is broken down into each scale/operator/KPI looking at giveaway and speed. There is a summary at the end of the report which combines all the data to give you a live cost for that batch run.

If the customer wants to track through an RFID system, then all the fobs can be set up, named and given access through the M.C.H to allow simple set up and quick operator changes.

Hub

The Hub is accessed via  programmed Key Fob. You can track any changes that have been made and by whom.

The HMI (Human Machine Interface) is a 12 inch touch screen holding integrated license free software. There is unlimited program storage within the program.

The control cubicle is IP67 rated and has a Stainless Steel construction. The HUB is wall mounted as standard, however, we also offer a frame mounted solution, and even a bespoke option is available on request.
