RAVAS, the Netherlands, introduced a series of mobile weighing systems that integrate weight information into an IT network.
For example, iForks Touch is equipped with the RAVAS touch-screen indicator, and offers advanced functionality and different ways of connectivity with a warehouse management or ERP system. The touch-screen indicator has a programmable user interface for optimal user friendliness. Different scale applications can be called up over the touch-screen, including weighing, data inputs, totalizing, etc. The display only shows those keys which are relevant to the app in use. iForks Touch also offers extra connectivity options. For instance, the touch indicator has two available COM ports, so both a wireless connection and a printer can be installed. The indicator also has a USB port for universal off-line data storage on a USB stick. Once equipped with a level sensor, iForks Touch can actively calibrate for out-of-level fork positions when tilting the lift truck mast forward or backward. This makes for higher accuracy, more user friendliness for the lift truck driver and even less interruption of the process.
