Scale Ticket Digitizer
The GrainTracker Digitizer captures the output of a compatible Rice Lake scale head to create a digital record of information printed on grain load tickets. It structures and stores ticket data in a database while allowing the existing scale and ticket-printing workflow to continue.
Applications
- Farm grain inventory management and inland terminal load tracking.
- Commercial grain-drying service records and customer receiving/loadout records.
- Digital backup of printed tickets and grain-movement reconciliation.
- Integration with GrainTracker or other inventory databases, subject to compatibility.
Key Features
- The device creates a matching digital record for printed load tickets.
- It supports tracking of inbound and outbound grain movements.
- It helps reduce manual data entry and duplicate recordkeeping.
- It supports traceability between tickets, customers, crops, bins and inventory records.
- It supports reconciliation between printed records and database records.
- A searchable activity history supports record lookup and reporting.
Specifications
- Potential captured fields: Ticket number; date and time; gross, tare and net weight; customer/account information; crop or commodity type; truck/trailer identification; inbound/outbound movement information where available; notes and other printed ticket fields.
- Capture qualification: Supported fields depend on the scale-head configuration and ticket format.
Installation & Compatibility
The digitizer reads the output used to generate printed load tickets from a compatible Rice Lake scale head. Setup depends on the specific scale-head model, communication output, printer configuration and ticket format. A site review may be required to confirm compatibility, available output ports, data format and connection method.
