Touchscreens and ERP / MES Integration Are No Longer a Luxury, But a Standard!

There was a time when industrial scales were simply devices that displayed weight. Today, they are part of intelligent systems equipped with touchscreens and color displays that guide operators, integrate with ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems, and make sense of data. With advancing weighing technology, not only is weighing performed, but data is also collected, analyzed, and used to make critical decisions related to processes.

Although weighing solutions may not always be the most visible components on a factory floor, they form the backbone of production systems and they are among the fastest to adapt to digitalization. Touchscreens, cloud connectivity, SAP (Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing) integration, AI-supported analytics… The weighing systems of the future not only provide numbers, but also guide the entire production process.

With digitalized weighing, we’re measuring not just weight but data!

In industrial facilities, it is no longer enough for weighing systems to be merely accurate. Ease of use, seamless integration into processes, and high-speed data reading/writing capabilities are equally important. Today’s technologies offer operators control via touchscreens while minimizing operator errors.

ERP / MES Integration Is No Longer a Luxury, But a Standard!

Weighing solutions that can directly integrate with MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) and ERP systems—the heart of industrial automation—enable real-time flow of production data. The transfer of information to systems like SAP, from stock management to quality control and even shipment planning, reduces human error and enhances traceability.

Analyzing weighing data with artificial intelligence makes not only instant weight measurement possible, but also advanced features such as anomaly detection and predictive maintenance.

So, it’s no longer just about “how much?” but also “why did this happen?” and “what’s next?”

As in every field of industrial weighing, BAYKON is one of the world’s leading companies in touchscreen weighing terminals. The 7” BX65, 10” BX66, and 15” BX67 weighing terminals are EU type-approved instruments equipped with the high-end features discussed in this article.

In addition to touchscreen models, BAYKON also offers more economical solutions such as the BX23, BX24, and BX25 terminals featuring informative LCD displays. These devices are capable of collecting data, connecting with ERP systems, integrating into cloud and IoT environments, and exchanging data via cloud platforms.
