Delivering Smart Connectivity to Industrial Weighing Scales

Connected weighing scales and POS systems have been deployed in the retail environment for many years. In today’s highly dynamic retail space, quick configuration of the store and the various departments is required to enable rapid product/services changes. This makes wired connectivity more and more inconvenient to maintain and even potentially detrimental to business fluidity.

This case study explores a global manufacturer of industrial and commercial weighing This case study explores a global manufacturer of industrial and commercial weighing scales that needed an industrial-grade, reliable, and secure enterprise Wi-Fi solution for building commercial weighing machines to be used in diverse retail environments. This customer needed a globally certified solution that would mitigate significant product validation and re-certification risks and cost – in addition to implementing wireless connectivity and security upon which they could depend.

The customer’s ideal solution was the Lantronix xPico 240 Embedded IoT Gateway hosting Cypress’ CYW43907 Dual-Core Arm Cortex-R4 Dual-Band (2.5/5 GHz) 802.11n Wi-Fi MCU. This module provides world-class dual-band Wi-Fi, antenna diversity, Enterprise Wi-Fi security and industrial-grade wireless connectivity management enabling rapid time to market.
