One solution for the weight measurement process update using embedded computer

Abstract

Using manpower in situations where computers can easily take over and usually perform much better than humans, is at least poor utilization of both humans and technology. In the worst case it can bring to health and security risks and increase probability of errors happening. Sometimes it is easy and does not require big investment to update and improve current way of working with new technologies. This paper shows one way of updating weight measurement method from completely manual process to almost fully automated process by using embedded computer and WiFi network. Testing of both old and new system showed that improvement is achieved with the new system and the amount of time needed to conduct measurement has decreased significantly.
