Client Profile: SEGES RAVENNA SRL

SEGES RAVENNA SRL is a key player in the logistics sector in Northeastern Italy, specializing in the storage, handling, and distribution of chemical and industrial materials. Their services include custom packaging, palletization, and transportation, requiring a high degree of accuracy, reliability, and compliance with stringent safety and quality standards.

The Challenge: Manual Processes and Inconsistent Filling

Prior to the upgrade, SEGES’s process for filling Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs or ton bags) relied heavily on manual methods. Operators would use a basic hopper and a static floor scale, leading to several critical issues:

1. Weighing Inaccuracies: Manual control often resulted in overfilling (product giveaway, lost revenue) or underfilling (non-compliant shipments, customer disputes).
2. Operational Inefficiency: The process was time-consuming, requiring constant operator attention and multiple adjustments, which created a bottleneck.
3. Worker Safety & Ergonomics: Repetitive manual handling and the proximity of workers to heavy loads posed potential safety risks.
4. Data Management Lack: The absence of automated data recording made batch tracking, reconciliation, and reporting a cumbersome and error-prone manual task.

The Solution: Integrated Ton Bag Filling Systems

We provided SEGES RAVENNA SRL with a robust, semi-automatic ton bag filling scale system designed for heavy-duty industrial use. Key features of the solution included:

• High-Capacity Platform Scale: A rugged, low-profile weigh platform with high-precision load cells certified for trade (OIML R60, MID) to ensure legal-for-trade accuracy.
• Automatic Cut-Off System: An integrated control system with a precision shut-off valve that automatically stops the material flow once the pre-set target weight is achieved, eliminating overfilling.
• Robust Construction: The system was constructed from high-grade, chemical-resistant materials suitable for the demanding environment of a chemical logistics warehouse.
• User-Friendly Interface: An intuitive digital indicator with a bright display allowed for easy weight monitoring, tare function, and preset weight selection.
• Data Output Capabilities: RS232 or Ethernet connectivity for seamless integration with SEGES’s warehouse management systems (WMS), enabling automatic data logging and traceability for each filled bag.

Results and Measurable Benefits

The implementation of our ton bag filling scales delivered immediate and significant returns on investment:

• Elimination of Product Giveaway: Automated precision filling reduced overfilling to near zero, saving thousands of Euros annually in recovered product.
• Increased Throughput: The automated process accelerated the filling cycle by over 40%, removing the bottleneck and allowing the team to handle more orders per shift.
• Enhanced Operational Safety: The system minimized direct operator involvement with heavy loads, reducing physical strain and improving overall workplace safety.
• Improved Customer Satisfaction: Consistently accurate weights ensured every shipment met exact customer specifications, strengthening SEGES’s reputation for reliability.
• Full Traceability: Automated data recording provided impeccable digital records for each batch, simplifying inventory management, billing, and compliance reporting.
