Batch Weighing System – Real-Time Accuracy, Traceability & ERP Integration with V5
A batch weighing system is more than a scale – it’s a critical component of traceable, compliant manufacturing. Whether you’re handling powders, liquids, or granules, real-time enforcement of weighing tolerances ensures consistent quality, lot traceability, and audit-ready batch records. SG Systems Global’s V5 Weighing & Scanning System brings all these capabilities together on a single, fully integrated platform—backed by full ERP and SAP compatibility.
From food batch weighing to pharmaceutical micro-ingredient control, V5 helps manufacturers reduce risk, improve OEE, and eliminate paper-based processes. Every scan, weight, and sign-off is digitally captured, creating a tamper-proof record across your entire formulation weighing system.
What Is a Batch Weighing System?
A batch weighing system controls the measurement, identification, and sequencing of ingredients during production. It combines scales, barcode scanners, printers, and software to guide operators through step-by-step instructions while enforcing tolerances, recording operator activity, and capturing lot numbers—all in real-time.
Why Weighing Traceability Matters
Manual weighing methods increase the risk of cross-contamination, incorrect batching, and non-compliance. With a digital system like V5, every material is verified via barcode, weighed on calibrated devices, and recorded with precise timestamps and operator credentials—ensuring batch traceability weighing meets global compliance standards like FSMA, BRCGS, ISO 22000, and 21 CFR Part 11.
