Weighing Systems

I have never used this sidewiki before but I figured I would start with my own page to see what happens. scaleprogrammers.com does do custom and packaged weighing systems and albeling and bar code systems I do confirm

in reference to: Weighing Systems,Food Tracking Software Systems (view on Google Sidewiki)

Dial Scales

Progressive Scale and Software Solutions just added dial scales to its line.

They are great for portioning and shipping scales where electronics can’t.

 

LINQ to SQL

Survey Says: NOPE!

Well at least not for SQL.  LINQ is great for running queries on XML data, Arrays, and objects but not for SQL.  I have spent hours on LINQ learning it etc.. and it does not hold a torch to my tried and true methods such as creating stored procedures, data sets, readers etc…

LINQ is great for smaller less complicated programs.  A good analogy would be like using a wizard to create something as opposed to going the manual route. Bottom line is I am not sold on LINQ, especially for complicated applications.

 

Fairbank Farms Beef Recall

Over 500,000 lb of beef recalled! What if this happens to your meat processing facility. Will your systems be able to stand the test? Do you need meat traceability software? We can help you be prepared at http://www.meatsystem.com

Or http://www.scaleprogrammers.com

Food Traceability

Food traceability is of growing concern for many government agencies and food processors.  For the big guys, the resources are there to at least come up with some

sort of reasonable solution.  The problem is the little guy.  There are thousands of small to mid sized food processors that need to offer traceability, but

just do not know where to begin or do not have the financial means to implement the costly solutions on the market thus far.  Progressive Scale and Software Solutions

has developed a large library of both packaged and custom software and hardware solutions for the meat and food processing industries, all at a cost effective price point.

We can get more people labeling and bar coding without having to have a full time IT staff to get things going.  Please visit our pages at scaleprogrammers.com,

to see how we have helped and can help the "little" guy compete with the "big" guy.

 

COOL Bar Code Label Scale

New to the market is the UAS5000 bar code label scale and COOL label requirement system.  This stand alone barcode label and scale system is targeted to those smaller meat and produce processors who need to meet the (COOL) country of origin label requirements but don’t have a mint in the back yard to do it.   The system also uses the UCCEAN128 or GS1 label standard so you can ship to any of the major food chains and be compliant.  So if your suppliers are requiring labeling then this little scale and label system will work for you.  There is also a networked more “tied in”  way of doing things as well.

New Release Free Software Wedge Software

Yes we have done it once again with a new release of our popular RS-232 Monitor Software. This new version includes a  Free Software Wedge.  What is that?  Well a software wedge takes RS-232 data and inserts it into the keyboard buffer.  So let’s say you have a scale and an excel spreadsheet… You click in the cell and press print on the scale and BAM you scale data appears in the excell cell.  NICE!?  Yes it is.  And it is free.  Of course there is a place to donate If you find the software useful.

Bar Code Scanners on the Enterprise

This is really funny when watching the new Star Trek movie I saw multiple barcode scanners.  In all I counted 10 bar code scanners on the bridge of the SS Enterprise.  Some of which you can’t even buy anymore.  You’d think they would at least have rfid up and running by then!!
