Minding Your Business
You don’t run a scale house . . . You run a
business. 
Let Interface Logic Systems help you mind
your business with its superior Weighing
Management & Control Solutions that drive
valuable business processes for maximizing
your assets, your yard’s efficiency and,
most importantly, your revenue.
Our Weighing Management & Control Solutions
range from sophisticated scale control and
reporting to secure unattended weighing and
gate control. These productivity and profit
solutions are:
-
ScaleQ scale management and control
software allows fast and accurate bulk
weighing for all industrial
applications. Attendants can reference
Truck, Customer, Material and Project
data with a few keystrokes to provide a
detailed ticket and transaction
database.
The software has two versions:
ScaleQ Advantage
is the standardized product, offering
configuration options for tuning,
thereby limiting the need for
customization and making it easy to
install and easy to support.
ScaleQ
Exclusive
supports detailed
application-specific customizations to
address specialized projects or unique
requirements, especially for enterprise
customers.
-
Fully integrated reports mine the
transaction history for management
information that can help you to run
your business smartly. The wizard-driven
report generator simplifies designing
reports, whether they are quick daily
summaries or more complex quarterly or
yearly trending reports to help you
identify your best customers and
top-selling products. Reports can be run
on demand or scheduled for after-hours
output.
-
Security for your business information
and your yard continues to evolve as
regulatory mandates proliferate. Access
to the database as well as to software
modules and functionality are password
protected. An audit trail protects
transaction history. Moreover, the yard
itself can be monitored with video image
capture, digital signature pads and
scale activity checking.
-
Facility access control software and
hardware provide further protection.
Designed for industrial, commercial and
residential gated facilities where
restricted access is desired, the system
interfaces with radio frequency tag
readers or other automated vehicle
identification systems to permit
automated, unattended and authorized
facility access. The database is queried
for authorization, which can be
restricted to specific gates, zones and
times.
-
Automated scale management permits
unattended scale operation with accuracy
and security. The use of remote data
terminals (RDT) with barcode card
scanners or radio frequency vehicle
identification enables 24-hour operation
without around-the-clock scale house
personnel.
-
Loadout software and hardware for the
asphalt and aggregates industries offers
automated control functions to improve
the speed, accuracy and efficiency of
bulk material shipping. Loadout control
may be interfaced with either motor
truck platform scales or weigh hopper
scales.
-
Enterprise solutions employing ScaleQ
Exclusive can be designed and delivered
to accommodate specialized requirements.
ILS excels in architecting the
infrastructure needed to support central
office management with geographically
remote scale house operations, as well
as in providing inventive solutions to
challenging business issues.
-
Hardware and supplies include RFID and
barcode readers, digital signature pads,
remote display terminals, printers, gate
controls, traffic lights, cameras and
scoreboards.
ILS applications are built using industry
and market standards. The widely deployed
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is the database,
providing a powerful yet easy to manage
platform. Off-the-shelf computers running
Microsoft XP are the workstations of choice.
Standard TCP/IP networking protocols perform
communication. Open standard XML drives data
presentation for viewing, reporting and
export/import.

Other Bulk Weighing
Two examples of other bulk weighing
solutions ILS has provided are for the wood
and paper industry and for barge terminal
management.
At wood chip mills where pulp is made for
paper plants, logged trees are weighed and
the type of wood tracked. At the paper mill,
chips and pulp are weighed in and tracked
with inventory control.
Scale management at barge terminals handles
reception, stockpiling and distribution of
grain, salt, aggregate and other materials
being shipped to a dock for transloading
onto a barge for shipment.
