iSCALE

IoT Weighing System

DIGITALIZED LOGISTIC WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT

iScale

The fully automated IoT scale iSCALE: an ideal eKanban solution that digitalizes all processes of logistic warehouse management, enables significant process savings, reduces inventory levels at the customer’s site, and offers maximum transparency. The digital industrial scale was jointly developed with Würth Industrie Service GmbH & Co. KG and Kellner & Kunz AG.

Using weighing sensors, the intelligent system continuously determines the exact material requirements. It then independently transmits this information via encrypted interfaces to the C-parts provider’s merchandise management system. There, the appropriate order and subsequent delivery, including invoicing, are automatically triggered.

APPLICATIONS

iSCALE offers the greatest benefit for companies that:

  • manage many different C-parts,
  • have high material throughput,
  • use just-in-time or just-in-sequence production,
  • want to digitize and automate their warehouse processes,
  • want to avoid stock shortages while reducing inventory levels.

This makes iSCALE particularly interesting for industrial and manufacturing companies, especially in the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, electronics manufacturing, and other areas with automated material flows.

Transparent supply chain

Complete, transparent digitalization of ordering and delivery processes and seamless supply right down to the exact point of need and the individual assembly station.

Automated ordering

Once the weight has fallen below a defined value, a message is automatically sent to Würth Industrie Service, an order is triggered and a subsequent delivery is initiated.

Efficient use of space

Compared to conventional storage solutions, the iSCALE system requires only half the shelf depth previously occupied: ideal for making the best use of space.

24 hours a day, seven days a week, the iSCALE system determines the material requirements at various locations in the industrial environment.

iSCALE does not require a gateway or local W-LAN. An integrated radio module transmits the digital signal to Würth Industrie Service via NB-IoT.

Effective industrial measurement technology: The smart scale is directly connected to the Kanban container and can be moved independently. Designed for all Würth Industrie Service containers manufactured in accordance with the VDA standard, designed for use in industrial environments.

Intelligent sensor technology in a robust housing manufactured for industrial environments enables safe, reliable use and highly accurate IoT level measurement.

The Kanban containers equipped with an IoT scale transmit the measured values directly to Würth Industrie Service’s ERP system.

iSCALE works without a local power supply. The integrated battery enables reliable use for up to five years.

THE PALLET SCALE

iSCALEpal: the perfect complement to the complete, fully automated iSCALE system

The iSCALE IoT scale system is specially designed for the standard Kanban container sizes 3215, 4115 and 4315. The iSCALEpal pallet scale complements this range with all standard Euro pallets. Each Kanban container can be equipped with its own scale; alternatively, the pallet scale can be fitted with Kanban boxes. iSCALEpal then weighs the contents of the boxes placed on it and transmits them continuously to the system.
