Discontinued load cells and the resulting uncertain supply of spare parts meant the scale had to be completely retrofitted, because an unscheduled outage would have caused lasting problems for the meticulously orchestrated logistics chain.

A combination comprised of four SIWAREX WL280 RN-S SA load cells and the SIWAREX WP231 weighing module: "The compact mounting dimensions of the load cells, the robust stainless steel design with a IP66/68 protection rating, and the integrated overload protection all clearly spoke in favor of their use at Cargologic."

"We were aware that the new load cells would not fit one-to-one and we were concerned that the involved conversion would mean the scales would be out of use for an extended time. So we were duly relieved when we were told the conversion would only take a maximum of two days,"

Urs Strupler, responsible for maintenance and supply management at Cargologic

The customer always has the option of an easy conversion to a calibratable system

Smooth processing is provided in the air cargo business by handling companies such as Cargologic AG. The company is a leader in air cargo handling and has been operating at Zurich Airport for more than 50 years. At Zurich Airport Cargologic has the capacity to handle 600,000 t annually.

For the weighing operations various weighing systems are available in Zurich. To weigh individual freight units and complete unit load devices (ULDs), a floor model of a platform scale is used.

Cargologic sought a solution which would not only ensure a reliable functionality of the platform scale, but also guarantee supply of spare parts for years to come.
