Loading Automation System offers added value
The Schenck Loading Automation System automates your entire shipping process, saving huge amounts of time, improving quality, avoiding faults, increasing efficiency and reducing costs
This is confirmed by the impressive demonstration of the Disobox monitoring principle beginning with the amazingly simple on-site installation of the system.
The Disobox demonstrates its strengths in individual weight recording using a special exhibition model of a platform scale with four load cells of different nominal loads.
The load on each individual weighing point can be read off separately - for monitoring of the cells or analysis of the load distribution on the scale.

Established weighing data are transmitted to the customer's network either by field bus or serial interface.
Disobox turns every conventional analogue scale into a digital scale, simply and cost-effectively.
Combined with evaluation devices of the Disomat range or the corresponding Disoview E PC software, this creates high-precision, multi-talented weighing systems.
For demonstration purposes, we will be controlling the operation, parameter-setting and visualisation of the scales on the exhibition stand with an industrial touch-screen PC.
Customers and visitors will thus be able to see at a glance the functions of the high-performance, network-capable Disoview E PC software.
The weight display can be calibrated and can be integrated simply and conveniently into any Windows programme.
Disobox even further improves process reliability, which becomes apparent even during commissioning.
Accurate analysis of the dead-load distribution and convenient electronic corner alignment are also possible.
During operation, the load distribution on the scale is analysed and every load cell individually monitored.
In the event of a fault, the effected components are quickly identified.
This not only saves time, materials and costs, but also improves the process reliability.
Technical data.
* Disobox is installed in a robust housing to protection class IP 65.
* Up to eight synchronously measuring, high-resolution measuring channels, together with additional binary inputs and outputs.
