　　Dynamic weighing scales, digital weighing sensors, or software are not just a way to achieve their goals: modern solutions have intelligent features that are not only easy to use, but also save time and money. Intico is a supplier of weighing and testing solutions, providing customers with a wide range of intelligent functions that can bring returns.

In addition to quality assurance, modern weighing or testing solutions and supporting software are also suitable for improving production efficiency. The adjustments that production operators can make are as flexible and diverse as the products they produce. Yintaike's product portfolio provides a wide range of choices to increase production and product quality.

Weighing scale:

How to eliminate overfilling or underfilling in trend controllers

Intico provides trend adjuster options for most weighing scale models. By using this option, unnecessary overfilling or underfilling can be avoided, thereby saving raw material costs.

Trend controllers are suitable for customers in almost all industries who use filling, dispensing, or cutting machines. A prerequisite for using trend controllers is that these machines can be controlled externally, i.e. they have appropriate control signal inputs.

The optional trend controller for the weighing scale includes software and physical outputs. Its task is to control the machines upstream of the weighing scale through appropriate control signals, in order to achieve the weight value defined as the target weight as accurately as possible and maintain it constant. For this purpose, the weighing results are evaluated accordingly, and the evaluation result is a control signal (manipulated variable) used to adjust the filling, distribution, or cutting machine.

Not only does the throughput of production play an important role, but the higher the value of raw materials, the faster the return on investment for high-quality weighing scales equipped with trend controllers. The prerequisite for successfully using a trend controller is that the measuring instrument (in this case, a weighing scale) provides highly accurate actual values (weight values), displays as little (temperature) drift as possible, and has a stable zero point. But not only does dynamic weighing provide possibilities for process optimization: in tank and silo weighing, Inteco also offers an option to supplement analog weighing sensors with digital solutions through Connexx converters.

From analog to digital:

Using Connexx to discover new possibilities

Weighing sensors provide accurate and reliable solutions for weighing tanks or silos. SmartCalibration and other technologies have long ensured that PC based calibration requires no weights at all. Yintaike further adopts Connexx digital converters and provides the possibility of converting analog weighing sensors into intelligent systems. Digital upgrades can be performed without any mechanical adjustments to silos or storage tanks.

Connexx has created new possibilities from the beginning of installation: by using converters, users can save time and money because compared to analog weighing sensors, users do not need cable junction boxes,

During the operation, the fast signal running time ensures reliable and accurate batching process as well as optimal transparency. Due to the fact that the weight value of each weighing sensor can also be obtained separately, defective weighing sensors can be easily identified and replaced. The standard CANopen interface can be easily debugged and calibrated through the PC end. In addition, the cable length can reach 200 meters. All settings can be viewed and adjusted through VNC Viewer software, which is an advantage in terms of user friendliness.

Industrial scales with returns:

Support intelligent functions for users

Intico provides innovative products and solutions for reliable weighing throughout the entire process chain. The complete series of industrial platform scales and platform scales, as well as individual components and accessories, can be configured with weighing solutions that can be accurately customized according to specific application requirements: whether the load ranges from 0.001 g to 3000 kg, from compliance assessment to hygiene certification to EX certification. The result is that the measurement results are very accurate and reliable at any time and any requirement.

There are various application fields: industrial scales are suitable for many areas of quality control, such as weight inspection and integrity verification, classification and counting by weight, or as part of formula management for ingredients and formulations. Industrial scales are also used to check inventory, production quantities, or cargo issues, or for statistical control of production processes. The multifunctional product portfolio, combined with personalized intelligent features for applications such as automatic weight optimization of counting scales or the use of miOPC software, has made significant contributions to improving production efficiency.

Software:
How to improve efficiency and output with just a few clicks

In addition to the intelligent functions of weighing and detection solutions, Intico's new MiOPC software ensures that weighing technology can also be networked across manufacturers. More economical and flexible processes are the main goals of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). OPC UA has created the necessary conditions for this and provided a universal language foundation for all factories and systems. Intico, a global manufacturer of industrial weighing and testing technology, actively participated in the definition of OPC UA weighing technology supporting specifications and paved the way for the digitization of weighing technology through its miOPC software.

The OPC UA supporting specification describes various technical systems in the industry and defines their specific requirements, such as sensor technology, control technology, or robotics technology, which have significant differences and cannot be fully covered in one overall standard. Recently, with the support of the German Mechanical Equipment Manufacturers Association (VDMA) and the Institute of Machine Tool and Manufacturing Unit Control Engineering (IWS) at the University of Stuttgart, 12 global manufacturers in this field have defined their own OPC UA weighing technology specifications. As one of the global manufacturers of industrial weighing and testing technology, Intico actively participated in the development of OPC UA weighing technology supporting specifications (VDMA standard 40200:2020-06).

SPC@Enterprise 和 ProRecipe XT：

Intelligent software for production

Speaking of the internet: SPC@Enterprise Powerful software tools can ensure customers have an overview of the entire production process. Modular software collects data from various devices and systems on the production line and effectively supports the optimization of production processes and product quality. except SPC@Enterprise ， ProRecipe XT software is also suitable for centralized control of manual recipe processes, saving valuable time and improving safety during production.

For manufacturers, this is a pleasing result: less production waste, less risk, shorter downtime, and significant savings in work time and operating costs. The automation of ERP systems has improved efficiency, enhanced the security of data transmission and feedback to higher-level systems, and replaced manual typing or recording. The digitization and centralization of data and control ensure faster analysis, traceability, and the advantage of controlling production outside the production line.
