Adam Equipment Brings a Smart, Connected Touch to Precision Weighing with New Touch-Screen Scales

Adam Equipment (United Kingdom) – Press Release: Adam Equipment, a global manufacturer of professional scales and balances, has announced a new industrial weighing scale and weighing indicator that offer a built-in printer and internal memory, allowing businesses to better control accuracy and traceability in weighing processes and stock management.

The innovative BTT bench and floor scales and AE 505 indicator represent an evolution for Adam products, offering innovative stock and inventory control features previously found only in more costly warehouse management and inventory control systems. They combine user friendly touch-screen controls with advanced weighing technology, offering users enhanced accuracy, built-in connectivity and all-in-one label printing convenience.

“We are excited to show our customers how intuitive and agile the new Adam touch-screen products are to use,” said Richard Storey, Adam Equipment’s CEO. “We have listened to our customers and gained an understanding of how difficult and labour-intensive inventory control is and used our knowledge of weighing and counting to develop a solution for the entire process, not just a few individual steps.”

The new BTT range incorporates a touch-screen AE 505 indicator, coupled with a robust scale platform. The AE 505 weighing indicator can also be purchased individually and used with a variety of Adam platform scales.

Features include:

• Simplified operations with an 8-inch touch-screen interface (including a pop-up QWERTY keyboard to enter more than 1,000 PLU numbers and descriptions) and a port to connect a barcode scanner
• Improved traceability with user sign-in and data export options: reports can be exported as Microsoft Excel-compatible spreadsheets and saved to a flash drive for a portable solution or transmitted to a PC
• Easy connectivity to PCs and printers via integrated RS232 and USB ports, as well as optional Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or RJ45 Ethernet modules
• Built-in printer to output customised labels (created with Adam’s easy-to-use label design software) and internal memory for fast recall of up to 10 label designs

BTT bench scales offer capacities from 8kg to 60kg (readabilities from 0.1g to 2g) with a generously sized 400 x 300mm stainless steel pan, while BTT floor scales offer capacities from 75kg to 300kg (readabilities from 5g to 20g) with an even larger pan size of 500x400mm.

For exceptional durability under a wide variety of environments, the AE 505 indicator housing is constructed from robust ABS plastic, while the BTT base is made from mild steel with an easy-to-clean stainless steel pan. Both are protected by Adam’s three-year manufacturer’s warranty to ensure continued use.

Well-suited to manufacturing facilities, shipping and receiving areas, packing locations, and distribution warehouses, AE 505 and BTT easily perform applications such as: Percentage weighing, Checkweighing, Accumulation, Parts counting, Averaging and Net total weighing.

The integrated label printer prints to standard 50 x 30mm labels, though labels with a height of up to 60mm can be used. Users can easily customise their label designs to include weighing results, data for traceability (such as date and time), logos, QR codes and bar codes.

“Understanding why you have variances in stock levels is one of the most time-consuming parts of a stock take, with rework often needing to be done at the end of the day when everyone is suffering from fatigue,” Storey added. “With BTT and AE 505, an operator can immediately see that something is wrong and investigate.”

For inventory, an operator can simply enter a part number using the touch-screen or a barcode reader, weigh a sample of the product to get its reference weight, then put on the remainder of pieces to get a complete count. When using a standard tote or container, the tare weight may be stored or entered manually. Another option would be to upload data on up to 1,006 samples into the AE 505’s memory and the expected quantity, then compare the total with the resulting quantity.

“BTT and AE 505 take the Adam industrial scale range to the next level,” Storey said. “We can now offer businesses much greater control over accuracy and traceability in weighing processes and inventory management.”
