Integrating Process Data from Industrial Weighing
Integrating Process Data from Industrial Weighing
7 Dec 2015Increased transparency can improve asset use, reduce operating costs, and make complying with certification standards or industrial regulations easier. However, identifying and implementing the most effective system for data collection and integration can be challenging, especially in a legacy manufacturing operation. This paper explores weighing process integration challenges and provides points to consider when defining operating boundaries and data objectives. Weighing and communication solutions are more likely to meet objectives and produce measurable ROI when these points are taken into account.

Balances and Moisture AnalyzersBalances & Moisture Analyzers / weighing scales measure static or dynamic loads. Features to consider when choosing an analytical balance include accuracy, capacity and resolution. Additional features and specialized balances include enclosures for weighing powder, microbalances for measuring small quantities, portable balances, moisture analyzers, top loading balances and internal calibration for measurements over time or with varied temperature.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.RegulatoryPharmaceutical regulations impact on all areas of drug development, manufacture and control and supply. Services are provided from the early stages of drug development and clinical trials through to dossier submission, approval and marketing. Regulatory also includes submission of analytical studies from the pharmaceutical product and safety. Quality ControlQuality control is needed in all production processes. Quality control is a monitoring procedure or set of procedures that are put in place to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria. Data AnalysisThe analysis of data is the process of transforming, modeling and evaluating data to discover useful information from experimental results. Process MonitoringManufacturingManufacturing is the production of merchandise for use or sale using labor and machines, tools, chemical and biological processing, or formulation.
