smart.scales
smart.scales is specialized software for the automated control of Grain Capital hopper scales. The system automates weighing processes, reduces the impact of human error, ensures accurate data recording, and provides control over products during shipment or transfer.
The software and hardware system can operate autonomously or be integrated into the enterprise's digital infrastructure. Through API integration, the system interacts with accounting software: shipment tasks are created based on accounting documents and sent for execution, while the user receives data on the actual results after weighing. Integration with the process control system allows the hopper scales to be operated through the SCADA system of the main technological process. At the same time, smart.scales monitors the accuracy of operations, protects the weighing process against unauthorized interference, and blocks suspicious actions.
As part of Osnova business automation, smart.scales can become part of the enterprise's unified digital infrastructure. The solution is designed for grain elevators, processing plants, and oil extraction plants, where weighing accuracy and speed directly affect product accounting. Shipment history can be viewed directly in smart.scales, while advanced statistics and analytics tools are available in osnova.enterprise. Integration with external systems also makes it possible to generate custom analytical reports in ERP or accounting systems.
- Continuous monitoring and diagnostics at the PLC level. The system monitors the status of all components in real time and reports deviations and failures, enabling a rapid response to malfunctions and timely maintenance.
- Task creation and shipment control. The operator can create and manage shipment tasks and monitor their execution.
- Recording of data for each weighing operation. smart.scales stores information about each weighed batch, ensuring transparent record-keeping and helping to avoid disputes with customers and partners.
- Integration with accounting systems. smart.scales supports integration with external ERP systems, accounting systems, and the enterprise's process control system.
- Certified commercial weighing. Accurate results, protection of data against unauthorized interference, and transparent record-keeping.
- Remote access. The client-server architecture makes it possible to monitor hopper scale operation and the weighing process from anywhere in the world using an internet connection and a web browser. The connection is established through a secure communication channel.
- Automated document management. Integration with the accounting system allows documents to be created and completed automatically. This reduces errors, staff workload, and the risk of data discrepancies.
- Flexible deployment. The platform can run on a Windows-based desktop PC or an industrial server running Linux, depending on the enterprise's needs and digital infrastructure.
