Follow one station being set up

Dispensing station DS-2 gets a scale, a label printer and a scanner. Four stages.

Name the Station

Each station is named and set to the workflow it serves.

See a station set up step by step

1. Name the Station

Each station is named and set to the workflow it serves.

Its kiosk tablet is bound to it.

Devices are paired to the station, not to a person.

Wizard
Guided setup includes a devices step.

Confirm your device models with us before setup.

2. Pair and test each device

Guided pairing covers scales, printers, sensors and PLCs.

Each connection gets a live test.

Camera scanning works on kiosks and phones too.

Protocols
Named in the reference: Mettler SICS, Modbus TCP, OPC-UA, MQTT and Zebra ZPL. Others: ask.

Each device connection needs its own configuration.

3. Readings Go into the Step

Live tare, zero and weight flow into the weighing step.

Tolerance bands come from the formula.

Out-of-calibration equipment can block work order release.

Instruments
Lab instrument readings can be stored with the sample, instrument ID and calibration status.

Automatic readings need a supported, configured connection.

Questions

Straight answers.

What buyers ask us first about Equipment & Performance.

  1. Can V5 block an out-of-calibration scale?

    The kiosk can block devices that are out of calibration, depending on how you configure it.

  2. Does it cover planned maintenance?

    Yes. Maintenance includes planned work, downtime reasons and requisitions, with OEE built from what is recorded. Maintenance and OEE are on Professional and Enterprise.

  3. Do our machines need to connect?

    No. You can record downtime and checks by hand. Device connections are optional and each one is confirmed in setup.
