SKALA Quality

Decisive real-time data to back you up

Don’t make do with fudgy, day-old data. Connect to SKALA and start automatically collecting real-time data from legacy devices, including check weighers, moisture balances, and temperature probes.
Instead of typing readings into spreadsheets, SKALA delivers data straight to a process control dashboard where you can see live production and quality metrics. Now you can use your data to make smarter operating decisions in near-real time.

Numbers you can trust - automatically

SKALA plugs you into data that comes straight from the device. No illegible handwriting, no transposed numbers, no fat-fingered data. Readings can’t be changed or deleted.
Each record comes complete with time and date, user ID, user training, record of instrument verification and calibration, in-spec stamp, and more—proof for your auditors and data you can use to monitor trends, identify issues, and investigate problems.

Full-featured reporting and compliance tools. All of the data SKALA automatically collects is available in real time to document compliance. It’s all audit-ready, traceable, searchable, and instantly accessible on any smart device.

Certificates of Analysis that prove something. A SKALA certificate of analysis is a link straight to the data that came off the instrument. It demonstrates traceability throughout your process.  It’s error proof. And it’s generated with one click.

Result: Client saved 2,555 hours and $63,875 in technician productivity (at $25/hr).

Case 2

1,186

transcription errors prevented annually

198

hours saved from resolving errors

Before: Client manually collected data, transcription errors on 1 in 20 readings on average. Averaged 65 readings per day. Time to diagnose and resolve one error estimated at 10 minutes.

After: Automatic data collected eliminated transcription errors and the need to resolve them.

Result: Client prevented 1,186 errors and 198 hours of error resolution, equivalent to $4,942 in technician productivity (at $25/hr).
