Ethernet is the most widely used local area network (LAN) technology. It allows you to connect and pass information through various computer systems within your warehouse and to share devices (like printers and fax machines) between them. This allows you to eliminate bulky file cabinets and mountains of paper work in favor of a few computers that store all of your data. Instead of five or six printers, you can make do with one or two. It can be used to connect to high speed DSL or cable internet connections.
With an Ethernet connection, you can monitor and control you scale over your local network. All you’ll need to do is install our free Remote Indicator Software and you’ll be able to record, sort, store, group, and analyze weight data from your work station PC.
Go Wireless
However, Ethernet is a wired connection, which can get quickly add the clutter of your warehouse and be complicated to maintain with more than a couple connections. Wi-Fi is a newer technology that allows you to wirelessly connect your computers to the internet and one another.
A wireless adapter on your sca le will simply translate data into a radio signal (much like your cell phone or television) and transmit it using an internal antenna. A wireless router located elsewhere will receive the signal and decode it. The router uses a physical, wired Ethernet connection to send the information to the internet.
This is the perfect solution if your scale is located in an area where there is no way to connect to your network with an Ethernet cable. You only need one wired Ethernet connection and all of your computers and internet-driven equipment will be able to access the internet through that connection. You can monitor and control your scale from anywhere in the world you can find a Wi-Fi connection while eliminating the cables and wires that clutter your warehouse and pose trip hazards.

You can use it to convert the weight of a batch of parts into the number of pieces in that batch, which is much easier than doing it by hand. All you need to do is weigh a small sample of parts, calculate the weight of an individual piece and divide the weight of a full batch of parts by the weight of an individual piece.
