EasyTouch
SET-21

Description

• Note: Prerequisite for this function is the basic program SET-01 Base
• Batch management: Double batch management, which enables recording and archiving of batch information of the incoming material (components), as well as entering and storing batch information for the end product – the recipe. (Conformity to standards 21 CFR Part 11)
• Multi device use/administration: KERN EasyTouch can communicate with different compatible KERN balances. During an operation, it is possible to select between different balances, i.e. high-capacity balances for coarse measurements and precision balances for fine measurements (weighing system). The measurement results of all balances are stored in a standardised result log, including their origin (conformity to standards 21 CFR Part 11 amongst other standards)
• Graphical results display: Representation of the individual recipe components in the form of a bar chart for clear display of a recipe
• Automatic correction function: After accidental overdosing of a component, the system automatically calculates which quantities of the other components will need to be added afterwards. The user is guided step-by-step through the dosing of the other components, supported by a clear bar chart and the indication of the corresponding target weights
• PC print function: all relevant formulation data can be printed out clearly on a standard PC printer. Alternatively, a compact label can be printed, e.g., for applying labels to a filled bottle, container, carton, etc.
• Automatic multiplier function: The user only has to enter the required total weight for an order to the recipe. The system then automatically calculates the necessary quantities for the components
• Lock function for recipes: Prevents changes to the recipes. In the basic settings for the recipe, the right to change the recipe can be limited to specific user groups
• Pause function: A recipe can be set so that interruptions are permitted. In this case, a recipe is temporarily stored "semi-finished". After recalling the recipe, the user is taken directly back to the step where the recipe was interrupted and can continue the recipe seamlessly
• Central component administration: Components of the recipes are stored in the central master data memory and can be used in different recipes. You can recall a component by barcode using its ID number. An image can be stored for each component
• Open or fixed component sequence: When planning a recipe you can determine whether it is essential that the components are added in the sequence they are input or whether the components can be entered in any order
• Dosing assistant: When weighing into a container, the system gives the user visual and audible feedback when the target weight is reached. The visual feedback is supported through an intelligent bar graph with auto-focus on the target range. The audible feedback is by means of a beep
• Component bars: Clear display of the proportions of the components to one another, which components have already been dosed in (green), which components are next in the sequence to be added (orange) and which components have not yet been added (grey). With open sequences, you can select the next component manually by clicking on the appropriate component
• Safety warning: A freely editable comment field can be displayed prominently at the beginning of a recipe process. This information can be used for safety instructions or warnings, for example
• Central measurement data memory (Save-Data Local): All printed and stored weighing data and measurement data are stored in this memory. Storage is either on a local display device or a central server directory for all connected weighing systems (Save-Data Server). All stored data is saved in a tamper-proof manner and therefore cannot be changed. Changes to master data are also secured in a dynamic data memory so that they are tamper-proof (Data traceability). Dynamic data can be recalled and printed out at any time or exported as a table
• Formulation can be carried out either continuously without removing the weighed-in component or individually with removal of the weighed-in component

Options

• The central data memory function SaveServer for additional storage of all measurement data in a central, local server directory. By doing this the measurement data of all connected KERN EasyTouch weighing systems as well as from all installed KERN EasyTouch functions will be stored. A particular benefit of doing this for those users with several weighing systems is that all weighing data is consolidated in just one database and you can search for individual measurement data from several balances in just one table. The Save-Server data memory is also tamper-proof and cannot be changed, KERN SET-10

Functions

• Defined scale
  - Definition of a specific balance for weighing a specific component with a specific formula
  - Automatic switching to the relevant balance, when the user comes to this component in the recipe. In this way errors cannot occur through weighing on the wrong balance
  - Documentation of which weighing process was carried out on which weighing device
  - Ideal for qualified processes (IQ, OQ, PQ), such as, for example, for pharmaceutical production, KERN SET-212
• Batch ID for components, with
  - a batch ID can be defined as mandatory for a component, if this formula is being processed
  - For each recipe process the user must first enter the batch name for the selected component, before he can save this weight
  - Output of the component batch ID in the print protocol of the completed recipe
• Manual entry:
  - This function permits the user to enter a component without weighing it, e.g. a full sack or a full container with reliable weight information from the manufacturer
