QMI Checkweighers and Integrated Weighing Systems
QMI provides many types of checkweighers and inline weighing systems. Call us for a quotation or use our project quote page. We provide standalone systems as well as full service integration to existing lines.
Order Fulfillment and Distribution Applications
QMI checkweigh systems have several functions within the distribution process. A typical inline scale application will have a scanner that reads the individual parcel ID, record the shipping weight, then report this data to the manifest or host software. In applications requiring weight verification, the actual weights are compared to expected weights in the database. This weight is determined by the sum of weights of the items picked and associated with a tolerance (acceptable range of +/- the actual weight). Any exceptions that are outside of the tolerance are then diverted to a manual QC station for inspection.
Packaging and Batch Applications
Checkweighers are also used in many packaging and batch applications where each product is validated and anything that is over/under weight is rejected. This process does not require individual scanning to identify the product since each is the same. However, the option is still available to scan barcodes for serialized items, time/date stamp, or other unique identifying features a customer may want to track.
In Motion Scale Solutions Include:
Shipping and manifest (such as UPS and FedEx shipping lines)
Order picking validation
Food and beverage
Packaging to check weight tolerances
Options for Conveyors, Diverting, and Sorting
Standalone systems use induction conveyor and exit conveyor
Integrated systems may use existing lines or a combination of existing and new conveyors
Accumulation and the end of line may be powered or gravity (non-powered)
Diverts may be used for exceptions handling (no-reads, no-label, 2 items on the scale, etc) or for sorting to various shipping lanes
