ERP-Scale Features and Benefits

 

ERP-Scale automates the process of weight collection saving not only time, but also removing  the risk of keying errors.

Typically, ERP-Scale is installed on the PC that the operator is using to run the SAP Packing Station transaction and the weigh-scale is connected to the same PC using a serial interface. ERP-Scale can also be used for custom developments, for example to integrate weighbridges or cubing devices.

ERP-Scale can also interface with weighing equipment via the Ethernet, using TCP or UDP protocols. This is especially useful when using Serial-Ethernet device servers. In this case, ERP-Scale can be installed as a server process.

ERP-Scale supports central management and all configuration functions and monitoring tasks can be performed remotely. The central ERP-Scale communications engine runs as a windows service in the background.

 

Three easy steps to Scale Integration with SAP

1.   Install ERP-Scale

2.   Configure the SAP packing station profile and create the RFC destination in SAP

3.   Import the SAP configuration into ERP-Scale and configure the weighing-device communication settings

Licencing

ERP-Scale is licensed on a per weighing device basis, i.e. for a typical Packing Station with a single weighing device, a single licence is required. This licence covers all users of that Packing station.

If ERP-Scale is installed on a server which has three weighing-devices connected, then three licences are required.

An annual maintenance fee  provides for continued access to our support engineers as well as software updates.
