What Can You Do with Digital Scale Data?

The PIVOT data collection system leverages data from digital scales for use in broader, process- and enterprise-level activities and decision making. PIVOT can capture parts counts, weights, and other critical data points from digital scales and communicate them to any networked device. Its open-system design offers endless possibilities for how the data can be used, impacting a wide variety of end-to-end manufacturing processes from raw materials and inventory control to product delivery and traceability. Here are some examples of how PIVOT can be used throughout the manufacturing enterprise.

Transaction history - Track activity at a single weigh station or across a network of weigh stations.

Traceability - Verify the history and location of your weighed materials for production tracking, compliance verification, and product recalls.

Inventory control - Use counting and weighing data to trigger inventory events such as material reordering.

Lean manufacturing - Identify inefficiencies in your production processes to reduce waste and increase productivity.

Statistical process control/statistical quality control. Use scale data to monitor and control processes throughout the manufacturing enterprise.

Shipping manifests - Generate detailed shipping manifests for printing and store for record keeping.

Parts lists - Create parts lists for inventory reporting, management, shipping, and compliance.

Database management - Organize parts and specifications into a central database for easy access.

Barcodes - Generate barcodes at weigh points for downstream and supply chain tracking.
