Automated weighing is not the future, it is the present
For a long time, the industrial weighing sector was dominated by mechanics: scales weighed, and people wrote everything down. However, the modern business environment demands more – speed, accuracy, real-time data control, transparency . This is where weighing software , such as Scale Expert from KEMEK Engineering, comes into play.
What can modern weighing software do?
1. Automated management of weighed vehicles
The driver can register and weigh himself using the self-service terminal , and the system automatically:
-
recognizes the license plate number,
-
turns on the green traffic light,
-
generates a weighing receipt.
2. Data analysis and reports
All weighing information is stored on a cloud platform , allowing it to:
-
visible in real time from any location;
-
export to PDF, Excel or directly to an accounting system (e.g. Rivile , SAP , Navision );
-
filter by date, customer or vehicle.
3. Security and traceability
All actions – both weighings and corrections – are recorded in an audit log . This means there will be no hidden weighings or inaccuracies.
Why is this important for your business?
Without software:
-
employees waste time recording weighings manually;
-
errors are increasing , especially in high traffic;
-
data is lost or difficult to analyze.
With Scale Expert:
-
Hundreds of weighings can be processed per day without queues ;
-
the system adapts to farms, grain purchase points, construction sites and factories ;
-
every kilogram is accurately accounted for .
Quick payback – when does the investment start to yield benefits?
One of the most common questions we hear from customers is “How long does it take to pay for scale automation?” The answer surprises even skeptics – often in less than 12 months.
Why so fast?
1. Saving working time
Automated weighing process allows for less human involvement , reduced paperwork and accounting errors. One self-service terminal can do the work of several employees .
2. Higher throughput
No queues, no unnecessary stops – one system can service up to several dozen trucks per hour . This means more turnover in the same amount of time.
3. Reduced risk of human error
The cost of inaccurate weighing, incorrectly written receipts, or lost data is high. With automation , every kilogram is recorded accurately , and all information is stored in the cloud.
4. Easy integration with accounting
Lost your weighing sheet? Forget it. Data is automatically exported to Rivile, Navision or SAP , so the finance department sees everything in real time.
Calculated in practice : a small company with 1 self-service terminal and the Scale Expert system saved ~8,000 € in the first 9 months by eliminating manual weighing with an operator.
