SPECIAL FOCUS
STORAGE, HANDLING & LOGISTICS
The goal of logistics is to reduce value, Red means the weight is underweight, and Yellow
costs, reduce transportation time and means the weight is overweight.
Without having to add any additional equipment, it is
reduce problems that may occur during easy to manage, while also designed as ergonomic design,
transportation by providing maximum can reduce fatigue from work. If the amounts of product
you want to check on each day is high, this function will
efficiency in logistic. If talking about allow employees to work quickly and efficiently, reduce
logistic in the food industry, most will overload or underweight. The screen can keep all weight
data for every package, while weighing data can be
think of weigh-truck for the logistic of exported via USB or send the software as needed, making
goods or raw materials. Yet, for this the report of delivery convenient and fast.
Scale technology helps increase transportation and

its goal, as follows

Pick-up Point
How can we be confident that we receive the right
product? In most cases, we are confident that the
product delivered from the supplier is accurate,
thus we did not check the product when it was
delivered. At this point, it may result in missing of
amount of the products. Therefore, enterprises
should put a standard weighing machine for
checking at this point.
Floor scales, rated from 600-1,500 kg. is one
of an important tool for the pick-up point. Accuracy
starts since the beginning of the production
process. Receiving goods at the desired amount,
traceability is simple and accurate.
For the technology of modern floor scales for
the food industry, the scales are designed for an
easy cleaning. Scales can be lifted, washed, and
cleaned. The old floor scales are difficult to lift,
wash, and clean. This may cause accumulated
piles of various raw materials if it did not thoroughly
clean. A modern floor scale has a short ramp as it
is only 6 cm height, so it is easy for carrying on
products, resulting in fast delivery for each round.
Moreover, a screen for displaying weight is
more modern. Previously, we can only see the
weight figure, a new generation screen technology
can store the weight data, help reducing the
process of taking notes by employees. The
weighing data is accurate. Also, we can send the
recorded weight to the software in order to see the
results of goods delivering in real time. Both the
recipient and the shipper will see the total weight
immediately after the final shipment is completed,
resulting in easier product management.
Packaging Point
The end of the production process is the packing
of the product. The importance of this point is to
check the weight of each package to be completely
accurate before reaching the consumer’s hands.
The manufacturer does not want a missing amount
of the product when it reaches customers since it
may reduce the credibility for the brand of the
product. Or an overloading will also result in higher
costs. Recommended scales for this point are:
Bench scale rated from 30-300 kg. is now
equipped with high technology and used widely to
improve productivity at this packaging point.
Weighing technology that can help make the
examination accurate and fast is the display screen
which can provide color-weighed display. For
example, Green means the weight meets the set LINE @MTTH
