CASE STUDY: Automatic Pallet Scale
CASI was contracted to implement automatic pallet weighing system for a large overseas food manufacturer. The system needed to allow the operator to enter the batch of the product being weighed, scan the inventory barcode, and transmit this data to the host ERP system.
The Problem: Manual Logging Mistakes Translate into High Costs
The customer's manual process was mistake prone and required paper tickets with manual entry to log shipment data. This caused mistakes in shipping logs and resulted in additional charges from carriers and customers.
The Solution: Automated Pallet Weighing System
The forklift operator will present pallet to conveyor in the first zone. The zero pressure capability of the conveyor holds this pallet off the scale until the system is ready for it.
The pallet is scanned. Barcodes for each pallet are assumed to be in similar location to keep scanning hardware costs minimal. Scanning can be automatic or manual as shown. Manual scanning requires an operator. Automatic scanning does not require an operator, but can be costly if labels are not in a static location.
As pallet is weighed. This information is automatically transferred to the host system using the versatile CASI 1100 system controller.
A forklift operator will remove pallets from the end of the conveyor and if there are other pallets on the conveyor, each will move forward to the next zone.
Benefits from the new efficiencies
The benefits from automatically weighing pallets include keeping a 1 to 1 synch of order numbers and associated weights, paperless operation, and ability to report to a host system in real time.
