The David J. Joseph Co., Cincinnati, has ordered several touchscreen systems offered by Systems Alternatives International, Maumee, Ohio.
The new Touch Screen Platform Scale System from SAI is designed to reduce the transaction time to serve peddler traffic at nonferrous facilities by combining several proven SAI technologies.
The first unit was installed in early June at a Trademark Metals Recycling (TMR) facility in Florida. TMR, a scrap processing company operated by Cincinnati-based DJJ, says transaction times have been greatly reduced with the system while a higher level of internal controls is also achieved.
DJJ’s initial positive experience with the system has caused it to order additional units for use in other TMR and DJJ facilities that deal in nonferrous scrap.
According to SAI, the key component of the new product is a touch screen user interface that allows the weigh master to rapidly make selections from a touch screen menu and accumulate totals for settlement of multiple weights and commodities.
Further speeding the processing time is the use of bar-coded key fobs that contain pertinent supplier information. Upon entering the scale area, the peddler’s key fob is read by a built in optical scanner to begin the transaction with accurate vendor information. A magnetic card reader is also available to read driver’s licenses with magnetic strips or other drivers’ license information.Latest from Recycling Today
