Weightron’s Winweigh™ is a dedicated, user-friendly Windows based weighing package, which opens up new dimensions in the management of weighing data. The system, which is already operational at over 250 sites across Europe, automates weighbridge operations, allowing applications at single and multiple sites to be linked to a centralised location, which may even be in another country.

Easy, powerful and understandable, this software tool turns a standard application into a custom made weighbridge program extremely quickly, and a typical system can be built up in logical steps from a straightforward flow chart.

Unlike most competitive packages, which are dedicated to a single manufacturer’s equipment, Winweigh can be used with any make of weighing equipment and ancillary operational devices. This makes it ideal for national weighbridge operators who operate different manufacturers’ weighbridges but want to bring them together under one operating system.

It can be easily integrated with existing business systems, offering weighing data capture and administration, together with system orientated statistics and reports. At the heart of the application is a powerful database module. Users can create their own tables, modify existing ones, set field validations as well as setting index and sorting codes. There is a flexible import-export function for standard file formats and Winweigh can connect to external databases including Dbase, Paradox, MSExcel and Sybase

The built-in driver library offers over fifty device drivers for controlling peripheral equipment including alphanumeric displays, keyboards and displays, card and key readers, scanners, vehicle recognition systems, automatic number plate recognition systems, electronic signature pads, speech synthesis (TTS), barriers and traffic lights. These drivers are comparable with windows printers and are therefore independent of the design and protocol of the peripherals. This capability can now be used to provide complete vehicle management systems at a plant to help streamline vehicle flow from incoming goods through to delivery of finished product.

Winweigh provides fully configurable weighing screens, databases and processes, and no programming is needed for most bespoke modifications. If software upgrades or changes are needed, these can be carried out remotely via a standard web browser. The function keys and quick-search displays help the operator to fill in the weighing screen very rapidly, thereby minimising waiting times for vehicles on the weighbridge and increasing throughput. As new National and European legislation is introduced, the requirements to maintain comprehensive company records increases significantly and trying to do this using a paper work system becomes more onerous. Winweigh allows the storage and distribution of critical information in a secure yet easy to access electronic format.
