Weighing without barriers

SIWAREX for smartphones:

with Sm@rt Client
An app for SIWAREX? WinCC Sm@rtServer makes it possible.
The app both modernizes and simplifies remote control and
monitoring of SIMATIC HMI systems via wireless LAN or via the
Intranet/Internet.

Easily equip your smartphone or tablet

with the Sm@rtClient app for Android
or iOS systems. Activate it on the touch
panel of the Sm@rtServer service and
watch as service and maintenance
personnel can now conveniently access
machinery and equipment around the
world.

The Sm@rtServer design enables mobile,

location-independent monitoring and
operation of parameters and functions
stored on the panel. On a SIMATIC TP700
Comfort Touch Panel, for example,
directly connect up to eight scales via
a switch.

Using the Sm@rtServer services on the

SIMATIC Touch Panel and the Sm@rtClient
app on the smartphone or tablet, you
can transmit the user interface of the
HMI directly to the smartphone or tablet
via Wi-Fi. This means that operators
have mobile access to all scales from
the same operating layout of the touch
panel, giving SIWAREX electronic
weighing systems extreme flexibility.

 Belt scales: the first choice
for dynamic weighing
systems

Imagine a belt scale with drop-in installation. Without any moving

parts. With corrosion-resistant load cells, quick calibration, and very
little maintenance. And did we mention more approvals than any
other scale in the world?

The internationally award-winning Siemens Milltronics MSI features simple, proven

construction built around the most effective load cell technology on the planet.
Structurally sound for the most demanding applications, the scale’s unique design
ensures optimum performance in harsh conditions and dusty environments.

Need even greater accuracy? The combination of two MSI belt scales in tandem -
otherwise known as Siemens Milltronics MMI - can achieve ±0.25 percent accuracy
for critical monitoring such as custody transfer applications.

Siemens belt scales are built for your industry, for your application. Imagine.
