Automated check-weighing
Check-weighing systems for accuracy, control and traceability. Weigh, verify, receipt, label and dispatch products accurately across packing lines, processing plants, agri-packhouses and logistics warehouses.
Control every stage of the workflow
A Multi-Weigh check-weighing system gives you a structured process for weighing, validating, identifying and reporting on products as they move through your operation.
Intake
Check-weigh receivals as stock enters your facility, to combat shrinkage and reduce the shortfalls that affect cashflow and stock control.
Scan
Identify the product, carton, pallet, batch or serialised transaction before weighing.
Weigh
Capture accurate product weight with scales, checkweighers or weighing points connected to the system.

Compare product weights against target parameters and flag items that do not meet requirements.

Capture physical dimensions where required, for logistics, inventory traceability and shipping cost control.
Image
Capture product or transaction images where required, as part of a serialised transaction.
Dispatch
Support accurate, verified and traceable product movement as goods leave your facility.
Quoted around your hardware, workflow and environment
Each environment has its own hardware, weighing workflow and integration needs, so pricing follows a review of your site, process and equipment.

- Initial consultation
- Workflow and requirements review
- Hardware requirement planning
- Software and system scope definition
- Integration planning, where required
- A quotation based on the hardware and implementation scope

Unlike software-only systems, check-weighing projects may combine weighing hardware, software, scanners, label printers, dimensioners, cameras, inspection tools, RFID, scale networks and integration.
Built around accurate weighing and product movement
For operations where product weights, labels, stock movement, dimensions and dispatch records need to be accurate and traceable.
Automate weight capture
In-line checkweighers
Automated, in-motion weighing for high-volume processing. The system identifies and rejects items that do not meet target weight parameters, so consistency and quality hold.
Smart weighing and scale networks
Connect multiple scales into a centralised system and see every weighing point in packhouses, processing zones or dispatch areas.
Batch and silo weighing software
Manage recipe-based and bulk materials precisely, to protect product quality and optimise material use.
Improve accuracy and traceability
Automated labelling and barcoding
Generate labels in real time and keep full weight traceability per unit or batch, supporting export standards and reducing manual handling errors.
Static and cube dimensioners
Capture precise weight and physical dimensions to optimise logistics, control shipping costs and improve inventory traceability.
SWAD: scan, weigh, dimension and image
Identify, weigh, dimension and image products in one process, with all the information linked to a serialised transaction.
Strengthen dispatch, reporting and revenue control
Real-time weight data
Give your team real-time weighing information and comprehensive reporting for full traceability.
Dispatch verification
Reduce underweight and overweight dispatches by verifying product weights before goods leave your facility.
Revenue retention
Protect revenue by identifying, weighing, dimensioning and imaging products through a serialised transaction.
Software connected to your weighing hardware
Check-weighing is not only about the scale. Multi-Weigh connects weighing hardware, barcode workflows, labelling, dimensioning, imaging and operational data into one practical system, so your team moves from isolated weight checks to a connected, traceable and reportable process.
- Barcode scanners and label printers
- ERP and inventory management systems
- RFID and track-and-trace systems
Turn check-weighing into operational insight
Real-time weight data and comprehensive reporting improve traceability, decisions and control across intake, production and dispatch.
Weight reports
Captured weights by product, batch, unit, line, department or transaction.
Exception reports
Underweight, overweight or rejected products outside the required parameters.
Dispatch reports
Goods that have been weighed, labelled, verified and prepared for shipment.
Traceability reports
Weight data per unit, batch or serialised transaction.
Operational reports
Live weighing data for stock control, revenue protection and process improvement.
Reduce shrinkage, improve dispatch accuracy and protect revenue
Manual checks lead to errors, rejections and delays. Automated check-weighing combines hardware and software so products are weighed, verified and compliant.
Reduce packaging waste
Improve weight control and reduce unnecessary giveaway.
Minimise errors
Reduce manual handling mistakes and improve data capture accuracy.
Eliminate underweight or overweight dispatches
Verify products before they leave your facility.
Improve stock control
Check-weigh at intake, during transfers and at dispatch.
Strengthen traceability
Weight traceability per unit, batch or transaction.
Eliminate shrinkage
Control shrinkage at intake, during interdepartmental transfers and during palletising.
Improve revenue retention
Link identification, weight, dimensions and images to a serialised transaction.
“The MWT system has streamlined the way we capture stock movement, simplified data input and helped minimise user errors. It is so simple and easy to use that anyone can operate it. We now have accurate stock reports, on time, every time.”
Every check-weighing environment is different. Multi-Weigh starts with where weighing happens in your operation, what hardware it needs, how products are identified and labelled, and where the data should flow.

Check-weighing questions
What is an automated check-weighing system?
A system that verifies product weights and makes sure goods are accurately weighed, correctly receipted, labelled and shipped.
Why is there no standard price?
Each check-weighing system has its own hardware. Pricing depends on the hardware, environment, workflow, integrations and installation requirements.
Can the system identify underweight or overweight products?
Yes. In-line checkweighers identify and reject items that do not meet target weight parameters.
Can the system connect multiple scales?
Yes. Multi-Weigh can connect multiple scales into a centralised scale network, so you can see every weighing point.
Can it capture both weight and dimensions?
Yes. Static dimensioners and cube dimensioners capture weight and physical dimensions for logistics, shipping cost control and traceability.
Does the system support labelling and barcoding?
Yes. Labels can be generated in real time, with weight traceability per unit or batch.
What does SWAD mean?
SWAD stands for scan, weigh, dimension and image, in one process.
Can it integrate with existing systems?
Yes. Integration may include ERP systems, inventory management systems, barcode workflows, label printers, RFID, inspection tools and track-and-trace systems.
