For paints, coatings, cosmetics or chemical mixtures, the weighing decides the quality of the batch. This example shows recipe weighing that guides the operator component by component, checks every quantity against the tolerance and confirms the finished batch back to SAP.
Recipes are often printed out at the scale and ticked off by hand. If a component is mixed up or too much is weighed in, it is only noticed in quality control – and tracing which supplier batch went into which product batch is tedious.
Guided weighing takes the arithmetic off the operator, prevents acceptance outside the tolerance and produces the batch record along the way.
Process orders with recipe and batch size are taken from SAP S/4HANA. After the last component, the weighing confirms the batch with actual consumption and supplier batches – the basis for inventory management and traceability in the ERP.
Besides SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC, we integrate other ERP systems too – for example Microsoft Dynamics 365, abas, proALPHA, Odoo or weclapp. The interface adapts to your system, not the other way round.
That depends on the smallest components. In the example, a floor scale with 0.1 kg readability weighs batches of 500 kg; for small quantities a second, finer scale is added.
Yes. Recipes can be maintained in the application; integration with SAP or another ERP is optional.
This interface is an example we built for illustration – values and document numbers are simulated. For your operation, we develop it to fit your processes, scales and ERP.
