Weighing software: Support and documentation of your production processes

• Logging of critical process parameters of any kind
• Net content control: average weight/minimum fill level
• Inspection of solids and liquids
• Tare modes: fixed (average) tare, variable tare, destructive tare determination
• Test weighing for setting up batches without official recording
• Definition of standards: Tolerances are edited and extended to take new requirements into account
• Multi filling head control
• Freely selectable statistics periods and other filter criteria for customised evaluations
• Various data can be processed, printed or exported (PDF, Excel, Word)

• SPC@Enterprise is supported by the Combics® 3 bench and floor scale with Ethernet interface and the H6 option
• All Signum® high-resolution bench scales support SPC@Enterprise
• All current Minebea Intec checkweighers, metal detectors  and X-ray inspection systems are supported by SPC@Enterprise.

Minebea Intec offers two different solutions in the area of single-component dosing tailored to the respective degree of complexity of the application. For simple dosing tasks EasyFill^® is pre-installed in the PR 5220 and PR 5230 weighing transmitters and the X3 weighing indicator. For complex automated dosing and filling applications where additional process steps are required such as jogging or inflation, the software application IBC the portfolio - based on the Maxxis 4 and Maxxis 5 weighing controllers.

EasyFill^® is a simple solution for dosing liquids, powders and granulates. An electronic weighing system controls the required dosing signals (coarse/fine) using its integrated digital inputs and outputs.

• Particularly economical application - without complex programming in a PLC
• Precise dosing results thanks to user-specific configurable setpoint, tolerance and overrun values
• Time-saving, web-based configuration
• Flexible operation via PC, front keypad, external buttons or remote control via PLC
• Integrated database for up to 10 container sizes

The following of our weighing electronics support EasyFill^®:

• Weighing transmitter PR 5220 and PR 5230
• Weighing indicator X3
• Maxxis 5 weighing controller (in combination with ProRecipe XT^®)

For demanding dosing applications, Minebea Intec offers compact all-in-one solutions with the Maxxis 4 and Maxxis 5 weighing controllers, which combine scales, PLC and operator terminal. The BATCH software application ensures recipe-based, manual or automatic weighing of products on up to four scales. The user can create and manage orders, recipes and materials on the large colour display of the weighing controller and start the dosing process directly from a menu.

Thanks to simple synchronisation and predefined process control components, even less experienced users can define process sequences easily and clearly. The simulation function, with which all weighing processes can be checked "dry", i.e. in advance of production, makes process design easier than ever before. Comprehensive reporting functions enable traceability from raw material to product and facilitate documentation.

For manual formulation applications, the BATCH software application in combination with the Maxxis 4 and Maxxis 5 weighing controllers offers a powerful stand-alone solution:

• Network-independent operation thanks to integrated database for material, recipe and order information
• Clearly understandable user dialogues
• Precise dosing thanks to colour bar graph with tolerance limits
• Process reliability through integrated query of the material ID, e.g. via barcode reader
• Minimisation of production waste due to overdosing through
• Recalculation function

The BATCH software application also enables the control of automatic processes. Ideal for modular dosing systems with optional connection to higher-level systems, Minebea Intec offers a proven application package that can be configured to individual requirements:

• Orders, materials and recipes can be automatically dosed onto up to four scales in parallel
• Integrated control functions, e.g. to control dosing valves or a mixer, replace additional PLCs
• Standard dosing functions guarantee reproducible results
• Integrated overrun correction automatically increases the dosing accuracy during production
• Intuitive displays provide a complete overview of all scales and process steps
• Numerous interfaces such as OPC, Modbus TCP, Profibus DP, Profinet, Ethernet IP or Devicenet enable integration into higher-level control systems, e.g. for setpoint specification
• Freely configurable print layouts allow detailed documentation of the dosing results

IBC is ideally equipped for controlling all types of processes in which IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) are automatically filled or emptied. The standard software can be used to automatically control the filling of containers such as big bags or storage containers with liquid, powdered or granulated products. Standard functions shorten the installation time and guarantee flawless, reproducible results.

• Automatic dosing processes controlled by powerful dosing algorithms guarantee precise results
• Integrated alibi memory function allows use in legal-for-trade applications
• Flexible process definitions enable customisation to individual requirements through simple configuration
• The integrated overrun correction automatically increases the dosing accuracy during production
• Integrated direct control of valves and feeders eliminates the need for an additional PLC
• Comprehensive material and consumption reports provide precise information on material consumption

The following of our weighing electronics support IBC:

• Maxxis 4 
• Maxxis 5 weighing controllers
