When a customer needed a reliable way to manage multiple batching and filling processes across 39 separate locations within a single facility, B-TEK had the perfect solution. The SKYNET DD1010 Indicator provided operators with an intuitive color touchscreen interface, custom applications, and seamless process control.

Operators can switch between batching processes effortlessly—either by scanning an employee ID with a handheld scanner or manually entering a Batch ID and password. Once authenticated, the SKYNET DD1010 guides the operator through the process, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.

To add even more flexibility, B-TEK equipped the system with 24 swappable industrial batteries and multiple docking stations, allowing operators to power mobile scales and move the indicator anywhere within the facility without interruption. From the admin screen, users can manage records, export data, and track progress in real time, with built-in network connectivity enabling batch tracking via a secure webpage for added visibility.

Advance offers customized automation solutions for facilities with specialized process requirements to ensure efficient operations.

SMALL CHANGES BIG RESULTS

A customer had an existing PLC based 2 Pale Filler that was running off of 2 obsolete indicators. With no available parts for the equipment, if one of the scales failed the whole system would shut down.

Advance is able to duplicate the existing sequence of operations with today’s technology. Advance completed the install during a scheduled maintenance to minimize downtime. A set of the new ZM305 indicators were programmed to match the old indicator’s’ functionality. This hardware upgrade also allow our customer to expand or change their operation easily when needed, giving them the flexibility required in today’s economy.

An added benefit is with Advance’s 24 hour emergency service, a replacement indicator can be up and running after a simple program download and calibration.

Truck Scale Kiosks are a Solution for Social Distancing due to COVID-19.

Advance Scale can help you successfully create social distancing by installing a ticketing kiosk for your truck scale. With this method, you can avoid contact between the weighmaster and driver, as there is no passing of paperwork or social interaction.

All of our kiosks can be integrated into existing truck scales and software and print legal scale tickets that meet government requirements for the Department of Weights and Measures.  Advance Scale also provides optional intercom systems for the customer and weighmaster communication.

If you are in need of a scale service or Install, please know that we will require the following:

• No more than 2 people, at least 6 feet away from the scale, while our tech is working.
• Maintain social distancing with any escorts that you require.
• Disclosure of any known exposure risks at your business, prior to our arrival.
• We have technology options to help you, our customers, through apps like Zoom, Whatsapp video, Skype and Facetime for our Account Management team.

Improve the flow of traffic with in-motion scale systems why decreasing your weighing times. 

Cardinal Scale’s SWIM slow-speed in-motion vehicle scale offers the ideal combination of accuracy, space, speed and economical price point for weighing fully-loaded semi-tractor trailers. Weigh-in-motion vehicle scales offer a cost-effective means of measuring truck axle and gross weights without affecting the flow of traffic.

The SWIM in-motion scale uses a single 12 ft by 30-inch weighbridge constructed of ½-inch thick steel and is supported by four Cardinal SCA stainless steel compression load cells.

There are pros and cons to both renting and buying.  It pays to evaluate your company’s current situation and capabilities as well as your future plans. It is important to carefully consider which method of acquiring equipment will be most advantageous to your business.

You might want to consider some of the key instances below.

Current financial situation

Buying any type of scale can set you back as a business, but the renting cost can also add up quickly.  Over a long period of time, it might be best to buy the equipment over renting. There also might be regulations that force you to rent your equipment. For more information, you can get a free consultation anytime from ADVANCE. ( Click Here )

Cost of ownership vs the cost of renting

Ownership comes with maintenance and operating costs, insurance and other fees such as government licensing like ISO 17025. These costs vary from scale to scale.

Length of project or job frequency

If you currently have a large project it would be best to determine if you will have similar jobs in the future.  Are you going to use the scale for a long period of time or just need it for that particular job? Also, offsite projects would be better suited with a rental because moving costs for a truck scale are cumbersome and expensive.

Equipment availability & usage

The big advantage of owning equipment is that you can use it when needed.  You can react to unexpected changes in projects or project schedules, take on jobs at a moments notice and complete projects with less downtime.

Management of scales

Management of your scales can be fully supported by ADVANCE regardless of renting or buying.  If you are looking for maintenance or calibration on scales you own, Call 855-465-2920 or Click Here for a Quote.
