scales
enabling PGC control. The system synchronizes databases of products, operators and schedules, and records measuring results and PGC controls carried out on thebalances
linked in ETHERNET network.Innovative and extended functionality of the module ensures complex support, automation and control of the production processes. The system enables monitoring of particular
scales
in real time, starting new controls remotely and previewing the analysis of archival controls in a form of reports and graphs. Modern technology guarantees reliability of the system operation and safety of the obtained information. Data saved by theweighing
instrument is sent to a computer database, based on Microsoft SQL. Using the application it is possible to control access of system users centrally. The system can integrate, in terms of data exchange, with external IT systems. User-friendly and intuitive environment ensures comfort of operation and wide range of functions.For products with average tare, the E2R PGC provides either an integrated module for tare verification, initiated on the
scale
prior to PGC control start, or manual module for tare verification, used via software. Information on carried out tare control is stored as average tare report.Each
weighing
instrument is an independent workstation, able to operate continuously even in case of network or server breakdowns. Information on the control process is sent on a regular basis to a computer program. All messages regarding control process are simultaneously displayed on thescale
and computer screens. Reports on carried out control processes are saved to the weighing instrument and to the database.The operator decides about control start. This ensures his independence from the computer software. A control initiated using scale is automatically finished after a pre-set packages quantity (samples) is controlled.
Upon control finish, standard or detailed reports can be generated. The reports contain all crucial information on pre-packaged goods control.
Like other E2R SYSTEM modules, also the E2R PGC is a multi-workstation software that can integrate with many scales and computers.
Collected data allows you to assess quality of produced pre-packaged goods and their conformity with:
- the 'Pre-Packaged Goods' regulation of 7th May 2009 (Journal of Laws No 91, item 740), on the requirements concerning quantity inspection of pre-packaged goods control, which inspection is to be carried out by means of random selection of the measurement results and sending those results to pre-packaged goods control procedure, and with 76/211/EEC directive and WELMEC 6.4 section: Guide for packers and importers of e-marked prepacked products.
-
a company quality control system (internal control), modified in terms of:
- batch quantity,
- values of negative T errors,
- values of positive T errors,
- quantity of negative and positive T and 2T errors disqualifying the control,
- quantity of packages in tare control module,
-
coefficient for calculation of permissible average limit,
- "Wk" factor for calculating the qualifying value,
- average negative and positive limit value.
- the scale operator starts the control process by sending respective information to the software,
- the PC software operator starts the control process by setting the scale on which the control is to be carried out and confirming the process on the set scale.
-
control with average tare:
- Non-destructive average tare
-
control with variable tare:
- Non-destructive Empty-Full
- Destructive Full-Empty
- Destructive Empty-Full
