Mettler Toledo's FormWeigh.Net

February 2011 SCADA/HMI

Manufacturers in the food and beverage, cosmetic, chemical and pharmaceutical industries around the world have adopted Mettler Toledo’s FormWeigh.Net batching control software to improve and modernise their batching, formulation and dosing processes. With an existing customer base which includes global corporations and small individual producers, Formweigh.Net is a comprehensive modern dispensing, formulating and recipe management system.

With its client server architecture the system is designed to improve process efficiency and maximise production yield. In combination with Mettler Toledo’s reliable weighing technology this software guarantees the high security and full traceability for cost-effective production. Users can track, trace and manage raw material throughout the production process from picking in the warehouse through to the dispensary and then into production.

The latest version of FormWeigh.Net 2.0 software combined with the IND780 weighing terminal ensures fast and reliable dispensing of the recipe ingredients. Work instructions on the user-friendly graphic display guide users safely through the production process. Clearly displayed recipe structures and graphical support functions, such as SmartTrac, take the user quickly through the daily filling or batching work. FormWeigh.Net offers a complete document tracking and tracing solution. In the event of an emergency, all relevant data can be easily retrieved and through the different search and reporting possibilities, allowing the affected products to be isolated. This saves time and allows immediate action.

The ease of use of the software and the intuitive operation of the IND780 weighing terminals allows quick and safe production processes. Errors such as incorrect mixtures and any waste of valuable raw materials can be significantly reduced. The possibility to integrate Formweigh.Net with ERP software systems such as SAP allows users to streamline information and acquire accurate production data in real-time, eliminating unnecessary paperwork in a system that reduces the risk of human error and enhances performance.
