A repeatable formulation process starts with accurate weighing. Simple paper-based operations can be enhanced with scale terminals that feature visual tolerance indication with weighing bars and color displays. Documentation and traceability are achieved by attaching a printer to record actual material quantities.
How to improve accuracy of formulations?
The accuracy of your formulations can be improved by addressing the root causes for errors, such as using unsuitable scales, incorrect selection of raw materials, false labeling, and incorrect documentation. By choosing the right scales and accessories, such as bar code readers, label printers, ICS689 terminals, and/ or Formulation Solutions, these mistakes will be avoided and significantly improve accuracy.
What scale to use for formulation?
When deciding what scale to use for your formulation, measurement uncertainty, possible environmental influences and the weighing tolerances must be considered. By using the Scale Selector Guide, a suitable scale for your formulation can be used.
How to improve formulation quality?
The quality of formulation can be improved by addressing the root causes for errors, such as using unsuitable scales, incorrect selection of raw materials, false labeling, and incorrect documentation. By choosing the right scales and accessories, such as bar code readers, label printers, ICS689 terminals, and/ or Formulation Solutions, these mistakes will be avoided and significantly improve accuracy.

Terminal-based Recipe Management
Scale terminals with integrated recipe management provide an additional level of process control in a compact package. Raw materials, lot numbers, and operator messages can be stored for easy operator recall. Confirmation of process steps with a connected barcode reader ensures the production is both comfortable and secure.
Formulation Software Solutions
Whether production requires manual or automatic dispensing, or a combination of the two, centralized formulation systems can unite workplace flexibility with rigid process control. Configurable software and operator friendly workstations can optimize the weighing process to eliminate errors, streamline utilization, and reduce material waste. Incorporation of industry standards, such as S88, integration with ERP systems and validation support for regulatory environments ensure a complete and robust solution.
