Many supermarket Codes of Practice and general good practice requires data capture of the batch production run to provide an audit report of various aspects of each product weight and recorded. For this need, we can offer our CWRecorder software solution to directly extract this valuable information into audit log files for future review.

With the master software typically residing on a local Windows server, the client software resides on each Checkweigher machine, data is recorded to capture, store, and analyse weight measurements of products in real-time. This is essential for compliance with net content regulations, ensuring product quality, and automating traceability, often replacing manual data extraction such as via USB.

Key Features and Functions:

• Automatic Data Capture: Records each product’s weight and checks it against pre-set limits, automatically rejecting out-of-tolerance items.
• Traceability and Compliance: Stores data locally (e.g., Anritsu SSV checkweighers) and provides reports for auditing, ensuring adherence to standards like GMP and FSA.
• Remote Monitoring: Systems like Fortress Technology’s Contact 4.0 allow for live data viewing and reporting over a network without additional software.
• Data Extraction: Many modern recorders, such as the Raptor, allow user-authenticated data retrieval via USB.
• Audit Trails: Documents performance verification, which is critical for food safety and quality management systems.

In addition to the weighing data, we also record the number of metal rejects in the case of a combination unit fitted with a metal detector. You can view an example of the data recorded below.
