Make decisions based on accurate, reliable data
LT3 is a valuable ally when weight control is essential to the profitability and conformity of products leaving a production line. LT3’s scale validation module reduces time spent verifying scale accuracy and eliminates paperwork by documenting and certifying results. This is an essential step in collecting accurate product weight data.
Scale accuracy is verified in 3 stages
Capability test
This test verifies that the scale is correctly calibrated.
Test frequency:
- When installing a new scale
- When running a new product or format
Reliability test
This test verifies whether or not the weight is within the permitted standard deviation.
Test frequency:
- At the start of each production run
- At each shift change or every 8 hours
Reject test
This test verifies that the scale is functioning correctly for traceability purposes.
Test frequency:
- Once through production
Benefits
- Automate the 3 tests
- Access data logs
- Reduce manpower requirements
- Decrease human error
- Calibrate scales to optimize production lines
