Software Solutions for Agriculture, Construction Sites, and Waste Management<\/h1>\n\n

For three decades<\/strong>, our IT team has been working in daily contact with our customers and has gained a wealth of practical knowledge regarding the needs of various businesses and industries. Throughout this time, our EWP weighing software <\/a><\/strong>has been continuously expanded and maintained. Building on this foundation of knowledge, we have developed our new EWA software platform<\/a> for scale and yard management<\/strong>. The following examples from three very different application areas\u2014a farm, a construction site, and a waste-to-energy plant\u2014demonstrate the diverse ways in which this wealth of experience is put to use with EWA<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

The Foundation: 30 Years of Software Experience in Scale Manufacturing<\/h2>\n\n

Regarding the EWA software platform<\/a><\/strong> can achieve today as a modular system is the consistent further development of what its predecessor, EWP<\/a><\/strong> learned in more than a thousand customer projects\u2014from truck scales to rail weighing, from waste management to agriculture. At ESSMANN | Waagen & Automation<\/strong>, \u201cInnovation for Precision since 1860\u201d also means using state-of-the-art software that grows alongside businesses. <\/p>\n\n

Agriculture: Get Started Easily, with the Opportunity to Grow<\/h2>\n\n

A small agricultural operation that weighs grain, feed, or fertilizer using a single scale rarely needs a complex process system. What\u2019s needed here is a solution that\u2019s easy to operate without extensive training and still provides legally compliant documentation. EWA Smart<\/strong> is ideal for this :<\/strong> weighing, master data, and transport order management are ready to use right away, without unnecessary features. <\/p>\n\n

Even the predecessor software, EWPsmart, offered <\/strong>a dedicated version for biogas plants and the agricultural sector back in the 2000s, featuring driver self-service via a wireless handheld transmitter\u2014practical experience that is now being incorporated into the further development of the EWA software platform<\/a><\/strong> . If the business grows or additional locations and warehousing processes are added, the transition to the EWA Suite<\/strong> can be carried out seamlessly without losing any existing data. <\/p>\n\n

Construction Site: Keeping Track of Materials, from Receiving to Billing<\/h2>\n\n

At a construction site, numerous trucks carrying excavated soil, bulk materials, or building materials pass over the scale every day. Each load must be clearly assigned to a specific job or shipment; otherwise, billing at the end of the month turns into a painstaking detective job. The EWA Suite<\/a><\/strong> links the weighing process directly to the job\u2019s master data and provides real-time visibility into material inventories on-site. <\/p>\n\n

Where there are many vehicles on the road, automatic license plate recognition<\/strong> at the scale is an added benefit: Vehicles are registered and the load is documented without anyone having to enter anything manually. Drivers can accept transport orders<\/strong> via a QR code and the app: The app navigates them to loading locations and weigh stations, and they receive confirmation in the app upon completion. Drivers can also weigh their own vehicles<\/strong> at the touch terminal using EWA SelfService<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Waste Disposal: Overview and Safety at the Depot<\/h2>\n\n

Hardly any other field of application requires as much documentation as a waste-to-energy plant\u2014and hardly any other is as closely tied to the EWA software platform<\/a><\/strong> is: The very first installation of EWP<\/a><\/strong> went live in 1996 at precisely such a facility in Hamburg. Waste disposal records, waste code numbers, and a complete operating log have been at the core of our software solutions ever since\u2014including in the EWA Suite<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

The EWA Suite<\/a> <\/strong>combines this weighing data with the order\u2019s master data and provides reliable analyses and statistics that can be imported into your own ERP environment. Depending on your needs, a visual inspection and documentation of incoming materials can also be integrated <\/strong>via EWA Vision or <\/strong> EWA CargoControl <\/strong>\u2014for example, to check lashing or material quality prior to delivery. <\/p>\n\n
