Control retrofit for scales

The organization of the digital strategy and transformation is individual for each company in the mill industry. The prerequisite for successful implementation of the digital strategy is detailed planning of the roadmap and the necessary activities. Any digital strategy without operationalization is ineffective. In the operational processes of a mill, digitalization enables an increase in efficiency and thus an improvement in its profitability. Information is increasingly being stored digitally and made available for electronic data processing.

The internal process control by means of precise weight measurements has gained in importance. Production processes and the expected product quality define the required accuracy and measurement parameters for process monitoring and quality assurance. The data generated in digital form with IoT-compatible weighing systems are also suitable for optimizing quality and processes online. Control retrofits enable connectivity and extend machine lifetime. Outdated control generations lack connectivity to a fieldbus or the ability to connect to the Internet to take advantage of remote maintenance and cloud solutions. For appropriate digitization, data must be accessible and freely usable. Cloud solutions and remote maintenance enable optimal data access and use for internal process control and product traceability. Modern scale controls are equipped with a web server module and touch screen, robust and reliable.

The operationalization of the digital strategy in the milling industry requires suitable connectivity for IoT, cloud solutions and remote maintenance. Control retrofits for weighing systems extend machine lifetime economically and enable digital data to be freely accessible for electronic data processing.
