Customized Weighing Solutions for Recycling That are Off the Shelf!
With thousands of material handling weighing applications under our belt we’ve seen a thing of two when it comes to forklift scales. With four decades and two generations of onboard weighing experience Integrated Visual Data Technology has helped hundreds of companies refine their weighing solution specific to their application. This is often seen most in the recycling industry where there is often multi phases or processes from the collecting, processing and transforming into the production of new products or raw materials. Metal recycling especially that which feeds from auto manufacturing is one of our largest customized solutions.
Common to these companies is the requirement for the scale to integrate into their process and the ability to capture and marry the load identification with the actual weight itself, tare and non-tare. Some companies are managing hundreds of different commodities at various stages of the recycling process’s which is extremely difficult with pen and paper and subsequently data entry. Furthermore, the ability to store such information and export when needed saves time which means money and protects the integrity of the information as it is less reliant on human record.
IVDT SkidWeigh Plus onboard weighing solutions are more than just scales they are industrial productivity computers that can be tailored for any recycling opportunity from the usage of scanners reading barcodes to capture load data, such as commodity code and location of origin and or destination. Specific to recycling is an intuitive process that once a barcode is scanned it prompts the operator to automatically lift the load and combine the weight with the scanned info. Large volume SDRAM means companies can store a huge amount of data till they are ready to export. Data export options include physical print tickets for purposes of receipts or tracking, adhesive labels for further integration into inventory and even network connectivity that pushes data to easy retrieve folders accessible from any LAN terminal.
All SkidWeigh weighing systems can significantly contribute to any recycling weighing process from the simple easy to use SC Classic series which is the material handlings most popular onboard scale to the SkidWeigh Plus ED series which allows for data collection, integration and reporting. All systems install in approximately 2 hours are operator friendly and do not require ongoing calibration. IVDT’s hydraulic pressure transducer technology is what provides the reliability and consistency. Unlike external technologies such as load cells that are affected by the severity of the lift truck application. Regardless of which scales system is right for your application the SkidWeigh name has become a trusted tool for the recycling industry.
