Please send us an email to sales@weighingcontrol.com including your address and phone number. We will send your information to one of our distributors and ask him to contact you immediately.

• Our system offers so many advantages it would be hard to explain them all without making this answer too extensive. Here is a brief description of the major advantages vs our competitors.

1. On-site raw material control: Many companies offer a software solution to track down inventories, but they are based on theoretical raw materials entries and deliveries to production. There is no equipment in the warehouse floor that validates and registers the material input/output.
2. Adaptation of existing peripheral devices: In many cases, existing devices such as the PC, scanners and label printers can be adapted to our system. WCS does not force the customer to purchase new equipment. Furthermore, if your company requires new devices, our distributors can quote them and sell them to you, but you are not force to purchase them from us.
3. Raw Materials Quality Control Module: We offer a customized Quality Control module that lists, registers and validates the quality control tests you need to make for the raw materials received. This option generates automatic reports of the tests made to each raw material, supplier, supplier’s lot number, among other valuable information.
4. Real time reports: The system registers in the warehouse the entrance/exit of material through bar code label generation/scanner validation. The information update is immediate and can be seen on the network PC located in the company’s administration office.
5. Flexibilty/Customization: We offer customization to the standard version of our system to adapt it to your company’s/industry specific requirements.
6. Competitive prices: Our customization prices are significantly lower than regular customization prices offered by software /ERP companies.

• All sales are made through our distributors. Our distributors are authorized companies with a background in the weighing industry that are familiar with enterprises general concerns and needs, including the warehouse, quality control, production and shipment areas.  They will discuss your materials receiving process and present you the best solution according to your requirements. When you place the purchase order, they will send us the system request, including the customized modifications required. When we finish the system, we will send it over to them. They will install it and train you in the proper operation of the system.

• Your distributor has been trained for configuring the system, answering operation questions, solving communication failures and some other common problems that might arise while learning how to use the system and adapting to continuous operation. They also have Weighing Control Systems full support in case they might have technical questions to uncommon operating dilemmas.

• Yes. We usually recommend our customers to use the system for at least two or three months before requesting software modifications/ system operation changes. This period of time helps customers get familiarized with the system, identify the most important benefits it offers to the company and determine a more accurate ROI period for their company. It also helps identify and determine which modifications are really necessary to improve the operation in their company.

• No. The raw materials need to be labeled by the UWS-RMS Raw Materials System in order to be validated by the Manual Batching System. A specific format label is required.

• The main peripheral devices required are a barcode reader and a barcode printer. The number of barcode scanners though, might vary according to your actual receiving/dispatching material operation. For example, if you have only one door for entrance/exit of material, you will only require one label printer and one scanner. But if you have several entrance doors, you might want to place one printer with a network PC for each door.

• We commonly use Datamax printers and Symbol and PSC bar code scanners.

• The system is configured according to your needs. So, if you need to print one label for each drum, one label for each pallet, and one label for each complete or partial purchase order received, it can be done.

• Again, since our system is very flexible, we can include as much information as you need. Common information included is the raw material name, lot number, supplier, total weight, date received, expiration date, etc.
