Storage management with scale system iSCALE

Flexible in place of use, secure in material supply, cost-efficient in handling

The scale system iSCALE is a part of our system portfolio for automated C-Parts supply. iSCALE is suitable for securely supplying the production materials just like our RFID Kanban solutions. You will reduce your process costs and benefit from an increase in productivity in your supply chain through demand-oriented and automated reordering.

Scale system iSCALE for automated and secure production supply

 
 

iSCALE: Functionality of scale system

iSCALE is a sensor-controlled scale, which is directly connected with a Kanban bin.

The sensors continuously monitor the weight of the small parts stored in the bin. As soon as the weight falls below a defined value, the intelligent system automatically initiates a reorder by directly sending the requirement to the ERP system of Würth Industrie Service via radio technology.

More flexibility through decentralised material supply

The self-sufficient scale system offers maximum flexibility and is used to supply material directly at the place of use. It can be used in the assembly line or at the assembly workplace, and ensures that the material flow is lean and saves time. The system can also be used in a traditional Kanban rack, instead of RFID technology. iSCALE is particularly suitable for manufacturing companies having irregular requirements of direct materials.

The scale system is designed for all the bin sizes of Würth Industrie Service.

Benefits of iSCALE:

  • Versatile applications
  • Just in place: Supply of material directly at the place of use
  • Secure supply of production resources in case of irregular requirements
  • Reduction of effort and costs through automated inventory check and reordering
  • Lower capital commitment through reduction in inventory levels
  • Reduction of storage spaces
  • Early identification of fluctuations and peaks in demand
  • Maximum supply security
iSCALE pal - Pallet with integrated weighing system

iSCALEpal: System expansion of the weighing technology

Like iSCALE, a sensor-controlled scale that is directly connected to the Kanban bins to ensure an almost independent, logistical storage management for C-Parts, the innovative pallet scale system iSCALEpal is also based on precise weighing cells. The Euro pallet is equipped with a sensor-controlled scale underneath, which continuously checks the weight on the pallet directly at the customer’s location, compares it with the known item weight, and transfers it to the ERP system of the C-Parts supplier via an encrypted interface.

More flexibility through automated processes.

Once the weight goes below the defined value, a notification is sent automatically to Würth Industrie Service, order is initiated, and delivery is subsequently triggered. Thanks to the use of Euro pallets, iSCALEpal is suitable for all bin sizes based on the VDA standard of the patented Würth small load carrier W-KLT®2.0 of Würth Industrie Service. One pallet has the capacity to accommodate maximum of 64 bins. On the other hand, individual loose and especially large and bulky items can also be stored optimally and reordered automatically using this wireless, battery operated technology.

Benefits of iSCALE pal:

  • Versatile applications
  • Battery operated technology
  • Fully automated logistical stock management
  • Secure supply of production resources in case of high requirements of direct materials
  • Reduction of effort and costs through automated inventory check and reordering
  • Lower capital commitment through reduction in inventory levels
  • Reduction of storage spaces
  • Early identification of fluctuations and peaks in demand
  • Maximum supply security
