Between the load cell and the corporate IT lies the automation level: PLC, fieldbus, control system. We speak both worlds – and build the bridge over which your weighing data flows reliably from the process into ERP, MES and analysis.
We analyse where the weighing values originate today – in the terminal, in the Siwarex module, in the PLC – and define the hand-over point with your maintenance team or automation engineer. Then we build the software on top: capture with time stamp and batch reference, buffering during network outages, plausibility checks and forwarding to the target systems. Your plant's control logic remains untouched – we read along instead of intervening, unless your process demands otherwise.
Your automation engineer thinks in cycle times, your IT in databases – weighing data often falls exactly in between. We combine weighing-technology knowledge (verification law, stability detection, taring) with software development and automation interfaces. The result: values you can trust, in systems where they create value.
Usually not, or only minimally – often it is enough to make existing data blocks readable via OPC UA or S7 communication. We coordinate that with your automation engineer.
In that case we route the legally relevant values through the approved terminal or the Alibi memory and document them tamper-proof in line with verification law; the PLC values serve process control.
Yes – via serial couplings, gateways or retrofits. The plant doesn't have to be modernised for this.
