Fast, Compliant Tracking and Tracing

Mettler Toledo's Industrial Compact Scale (ICS) model ICS685 offers a variety of printing and labeling options designed to protect against customer complaints while promoting efficiency. Secure data storage also helps ensure compliance with tracking and tracing requirements and manufacturing standards such as Odette, AIAG and ISO16949.

ICS scales provide predefined templates for printing. It also lets users define new templates that better meet a manufacturer's unique processing needs. Printouts can vary in size and form, and can also accommodate complex graphics such as barcodes or logos to help conform to an industry's standards such as AIAG. ICS685 is compatible with a range of Mettler Toledo standard printers and third-party printers as well.

The ICS685 scales include an embedded article database and transaction memory that stores all weighing data combined with other useful data such as processing date and time or article information. A calibration log file stores calibration data to help demonstrate accurate weighing during audit. All these different memories, included standard in ICS scales, allow central data storage in the scale itself. Easy data transfer via import/export with a USB memory stick or Ethernet connection also allow easy data analysis.

A database software can be added to centrally host scale-embedded databases from multiple scales. This allows the monitoring of weighing data via PC, where it can easily be imported into an Excel file for further analysis such as yield or output. This provides straightforward monitoring, and central database management avoids unnecessary duplication of effort and maintenance of independent databases.

The ICS685 interface options are intended to make it easy to integrate these scales with existing IT systems, or attach second scales or peripherals such as barcode/RFID scanners, external keyboards, light alarms and printers, which make processes faster and less error prone. With ICS685 scales data can be transferred for ongoing analysis. Users can watch for the kinds of trends that allow them to make corrections in production processes quickly.
