MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

PC management for Checkweighers, Linear Weighers, Multihead Weighers and dosing machines

---

• Windows Explorer(TM) type interface for easy navigation and access to all functions.
  
• Communications via Digihub or multiple communication ports.
  The MIS software communicates through standard PC communications ports either directly to the controller or via Digihub.
  
  
• Support for multiple Sparc checkweighers. *
  
• Support for multiple Sparc Manual Weigh Stations. *
  
  
• Support for some third-party checkweighers. *

• Live status monitoring.
  The live status of all connected controllers can be viewed.
  
  
• The scheduled production, running status and communication status can be seen for each controller.
  
  
• Library code editing.
  Library code editing allows the numerous product code parameters for each controller to be edited on the PC and downloaded to the controller.
  

• Product code information can be set up in advance and stored in the library database until required.
  
  
• There is no limit to the number of library codes that can be generated allowing controller product code limitations to be exceeded.
  
  
• Library code templating for fast library code generation.
  
  
• Production scheduling. Production can be scheduled for individual controllers in advance.
  

• The library code to use and the time when the batch is to be produced can be specified and later amended if required.
  
  
• Statistics logging.
  
  
• Production data accumulated by the controllers is automatically collected and stored within a database for later analysis and reporting.
  
  
• Weight check logging.
  Every weigh check performed on a checkweigher is logged automatically.
  

• Intelligent event logging with time and date stamp.
  Significant controller events are automatically logged by the system in easily accessed text files.
  
  
• Includes Communication Manager.
  
  
• Optional Database Manager.
  

• Optional Report Generator with five reports. Production Totals, Production Accuracy, Production Deviation, Production Throughput, and Production Efficiency.
  

* The maximum number of machines that can be connected to a MIS is mainly dependant on the actual computer hardware used.
