{"product_id":"weightcontrol-weighing-software","title":"WeightControl Software","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeightControl is WPL's weighing software for R10-based scales. It records every weighing, presents statistics in a browser and makes the data available to other software through CSV export and a JSON API. It can run inside the scale or as an external application that manages several scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"runs-inside-the-scale\"\u003eRuns inside the scale\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an embedded package, WeightControl is installed inside the R10 scale itself, so no external PC or server is needed. To use it, connect a laptop or tablet to the scale's built-in access point and open a web browser. On the M2, M3, M5 and M6 series it is listed as the WeightControl IOT module option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"one-system-for-multiple-scales\"\u003eOne system for multiple scales\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeightControl can also be installed as an external application. In that set-up it controls and monitors multiple scales from a single system. Access is through a web interface, so users work from any modern browser on a PC, laptop or tablet without installing client software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"statistics-and-data-logging\"\u003eStatistics and data logging\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery weight registered on the scale is recorded automatically in the WeightControl database. The statistics section shows recorded weights per preset and per selected period, so production totals and trends can be reviewed without manual tally sheets. The insights dashboard displays the weighing activity together with the related operational information. \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/knowledge\/weighing-data-logging\"\u003eWeighing data logging\u003c\/a\u003e explains what to record and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLogging matters for control purposes too. For example, EU rules require non-automatic scales used to weigh pallets of fishery products to keep at least an automatic or semi-automatic log (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/reg_impl\/2026\/1932\/oj\/eng\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eImplementing Regulation (EU) 2026\/1932, Annex I, Part B, point 5\u003c\/a\u003e).
