Optimise your warehouse management: now the weight updates automatically thanks to our scale drivers

In the world of production and distribution, especially in sectors where materials have a significant cost and are stored in open cans or containers (such as inks, paints, resins, glues, chemical powders), knowing exactly how much material is in stock is not only useful: it is essential.

That is why we have developed new scale drivers for our GERP management software, which allow us to read the weight of materials in real time and automatically update the quantity in stock. A practical and intelligent solution for companies that want to reduce waste, always have reliable data and improve their production processes.

How it works

Thanks to these drivers, GERP connects directly to the industrial scales in the laboratory or department. Every time a container is weighed:

• the weight is read automatically


• the remaining quantity of the material is calculated


• the warehouse is updated in real time

All this without the need for manual data entry, with a double advantage

• fewer human errors


• time savings

A real advantage for high-cost materials

In many sectors, raw materials stored in cans or drums are partially utilised. Think of:

• ink cans for printers or screen printers


• paint or enamel containers


• buckets of industrial glue


• powders or chemical additives

These are often expensive materials, and having an outdated inventory can mean downtime or unnecessary orders. With our integrated drivers in GERP.IT, the management of these products becomes precise and transparent.

Why we developed this feature

Our mission is to help companies simplify processes, reduce waste and always have full control over production and inventory. After listening to the needs of many of our customers, we realised how important it was to eliminate manual counting and to automate stock management, even for materials stored in open containers and subject to progressive shrinkage.
