General CombiScale Promoweigher SoftwareUtilizing the PrimoWeigher software from CombiScale, the operator can save time, cut costs and increase production.
CombiScale Inc., a Montreal headquartered manufacturer of multi-head weighing solutions specializing in food related applications, hardware, and pharmaceuticals says its PrimoWeigher combination scales provide an extensive range of time-saving software features that reduce start-up time, increases productivity and gives the manager control from the convenience of their office.
For operators, the control panel includes an easy-to-read 15-inch color touch screen and the choice of several languages including English, Spanish and French, though other languages can be added easily.
If an operator ever forgets how to enter a new recipe, a Wizard function walks the operator through the step-by-step on-screen procedure. An unlimited number of recipes can be entered in the system and are quickly located using flip-through photographs of the product that can be attached to each recipe.
The Primo Pocket Control gives operators complete control of the PrimoWeigher in the palms of their hands eliminating the need to go back and forth between the scale and control panel or the assistance of a second person.
The PrimoWeigher 360 Online Support allows the service technicians to connect to the PrimoWeigher and provide immediate support. With a digital camera connected to the PrimoWeigher, the technicians can see what the operator sees in real-time and with the customers’ authorization, CombiScale technicians can even operate the scale from anywhere in the world.
Managers benefit from software features that save time and give feedback on how the scale is performing. Planning and scheduling can be done remotely from the manager’s computer. When operators login, the production schedule is already there to be run.
Managers can access real-time data remotely, see all the screens of the control panel, and even see actual product flowing in the scale from the digital camera mounted above. Triggers and alerts can be set-up to send e-mails automatically to managers for a broad range of performance indicators as well as report any delays in production. Protection of sensitive data is assured with a multi-level security system that gives managers control of what different users of the scale can access.
