SOLAS Regulations for July 2016 onwards

Amendments to the SOLAS regulations require that as of July 2016 the verified gross weight of containers must be made known before loading them onto a ship. The IMO (International Maritime Organisation) has decided that container weights may be determined by weighing the packed container or by weighing the individual items in the container, earlier in the chain. Phoenix Scales supplies the mobile scales and the connectivity to make individual pallet weights and shipments available throughout the supply chain.

iForks is the successful wireless mobile scale for forklift trucks from RAVAS. With iForks on the truck, every load lifted is immediately weighed. iForks provide a highly accurate weight read-out in 1 kg steps on a display in the cabin, and are available in legal for trade version OIML III. Extended scale functions include registering of ID codes with every weight recorded. iForks also communicates bi-directionally with WMS or ERP systems, via Bluetooth or Wifi connection. iForks can be installed on any counterbalanced or reach truck in a matter of minutes.

For efficient computing of container weights, Phoenix Scales offers its SOLAS App. The App can be installed on a PDA, iPad or iPhone. After identifying the container by its number and registering its tare weight, the App allows the user to identify individual pallets or shipments and register their weight, communicated by iForks. Total container weight is computed and registered on the PDA, and can be downloaded to a PC via USB cable as a CSV file. If the App is used on an iPad or iPhone, the information can be e-mailed to the shipping company straight from the App.

Cut Waste & Increase Profit

Cutting waste increases profit, thus any reduction in waste goes straight off the bottom line. Waste
reduction can pay back the outlay of the equipment within months rather than years and can often
cost very little to implement.

With our Waste Management PUE System we can configure the equipment to suit your companies
business by using on screen prompts for the operators in terminology that they currently use. Once installed a total breakdown of product or waste movement throughout the factory area is available.
