When you manufacture and ship thousands of small parts, accurate packaging saves considerable costs. Due to the low price and weight of individual units, managers often don’t realize that there is huge optimization potential in filling and packaging their deliveries. Just ask yourself: Do you always send more pieces than ordered—just to make sure you are not under-supplying? Think of the price of raw material for metal and high-tech plastics. It could be that you are giving away profit due to inaccurate deliveries.
Supply the exact amount
And you aren't only giving away money when overfilling your packages. To supply customers who have low warehouse capacity with just-in-time inventory, you need to package the exact number ordered. By using the METTLER TOLEDO ICS4 and ICS6 scale family, you can optimize packaging in your company: achieve fewer errors, build batches easily and ensure high throughput.
Error-free, secure counting
With a scale, you simply need to define the weight of the piece to be shipped and start filling your box or package until the preset target number is reached. The scale automatically counts the number of pieces currently boxed and the colorWeight® backlight display indicates if the target package weight is reached. You can fill thousands of small parts accurately, quickly and error-free.
Easy-to-use equipment
The advantage of METTLER TOLEDO ICS4 and ICS6 scales relies on the colorWeight® functionality. The colorWeight® indicator is a backlight display that shows weighing results in a three-color mode. Red indicates that the result is out of specification; green means it's within specifications, and yellow means it is above target. With this easy-to-read solution, operators can determine completeness of a package at a single glance and handle more packages within a given time.
Security for traceability
How do you make bulk goods traceable? Use scales, count exactly and ship your packages with the right labels. With scales, you can use predefined printing templates or define your own user-specific ones in different formats, such as labels, strips, forms, pictures and barcodes. Different formats can be defined including article numbers, date and time or customer logo. The broad range of METTLER TOLEDO standard printers and third-party printers can be used.
