SAP Scales

IoT scales integrated into your SAP system for efficiency and precision

The IoT scales for SAP are perfectly adapted to the requirements of SAP systems, offering easy integration and optimizing your operational processes for maximum efficiency.

Key features:

1. Next-generation SAP integration: Our scale is designed to easily integrate into your SAP infrastructure. Benefit from continuous data transfer and eliminate time-consuming manual processes.

2. Real-time data for informed decisions: Receive precise weight data in real time to make informed decisions. The immediate availability of information allows you to react flexibly to changes and optimize your operations.

3. Customizable configurations: Tailor the scale to your individual requirements. Configure notifications, limits, and report formats to suit your needs for customized weight management.

4. Increase efficiency through automation: Reduce manual tasks and human error by automating weight data collection and transmission. Boost the efficiency of your processes and save valuable resources.

5. Compliance and data security: Effortlessly meet industry-specific standards and security requirements. Our SAP scale ensures the secure management of sensitive weight data and helps you overcome compliance challenges.
   
   For legally required weighing operations that are evaluated and processed via a connected PC (e.g., printing a delivery note via a PC instead of a printer directly connected to the scale) , the Weights and Measures Act mandates electronic archiving using a tamper-proof, verifiable data storage device as part of consumer protection measures . KERN's alibi storage devices meet this requirement. They enable paperless archiving of weighing results . With KERN, the alibi storage device is integrated directly into the scale, between the weighing process and the output to the PC. All data transmitted to the PC is stored for at least three months, including the date, time, and all relevant weighing values. These stored data records can be viewed on the scale at any time. The data in the alibi storage device can only be deleted, not modified.

Scale integration for SAP and other ERP systems

Invest in your company's future with the SAP scale – your key component for optimized weight management. Maximize efficiency, minimize risks, and stay ahead of the curve. Experience the future of weight management today!

Each interface of the modern IoT scale from KERN & SOHN can be configured separately, e.g.:
- Interface 1 (WLAN): Continuous sending to a PC for process documentation
- Interface 2 (RS-232): Print stable weight value
- Interface 3 (Analog Module): Controlling a device when the target weight is reached
- Interface 4 (Bluetooth): Continuous transmission to a tablet for process monitoring.

Professional data acquisition and transmission for scales and measuring instruments

There are two ways to transfer data from the scale to your ERP system:

1) BalanceConnection SCD-4.0 Pro from KERN & SOHN is a powerful software for the flexible acquisition and transmission of measured values . It supports numerous scale and measuring device interfaces (RS-232, USB, Bluetooth, and LAN/WLAN) and enables easy integration with Microsoft Excel, Access, SQL databases, and ERP systems such as SAP or Sage. When the cursor is positioned on the corresponding data entry screen or field (e.g., in SAP) for weight, the weight can be easily transferred from the scale via keystroke simulation by pressing a button on the scale (e.g., the Print Screen button).

Compatible with Windows (XP–11)
Real-time data recording & transmission
Automated processes for GLP-compliant applications
Any number of devices can be connected
Centralized configuration & user-friendliness

2) An alternative is data transmission via the KCP protocol – download information here . "The KERN Communications Protocol (KCP) is a standardized interface command set for KERN scales and other devices. KERN devices with KCP can thus be easily integrated into computers, industrial controllers, and other digital systems. In some programs, scales can be easily connected and this KCP protocol read, or an interface can be configured or programmed accordingly. Your SAP consultant can best answer which options are available to you."

If required, we can also provide you with a 3D CAD model of the IoT scale in STEP format , e.g. to create a digital twin of your production line .

Ideal for industrial weighing systems, laboratories and the medical field!
