Microtess held an in-depth technical discussion with a leading company in Uganda via an online meeting. The meeting was hosted by the company’s Managing Director and General Manager, with full participation from the Microtess engineering team. The discussion focused on key components and safety requirements for the weighing system.
The company required a high-precision weighing system that meets international standards to comply with Uganda’s increasingly stringent regulatory requirements and harsh operating conditions. The main discussion points included OIML certification for indicators and load cells, lightning protection, IP69 cable protection certification, provision of weighbridge structural drawings, and confirmation of metrological switching functions.
During the meeting, the Microtess team emphasized the importance of obtaining OIML certification for indicators and weighing sensors. OIML certification ensures that these components meet globally recognized accuracy and reliability standards, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the weighbridge system. Microtess committed to providing comprehensive certification documents to meet the client’s compliance needs.
Given Uganda’s climatic conditions, lightning protection was a key focus. The Microtess team recommended installing lightning protection devices in the load cells to safeguard the equipment from damage during thunderstorms. This solution not only protects the physical integrity of the equipment but also ensures operational continuity.
Addressing the client’s need for durability in harsh environments, Microtess recommended cables with IP69 protection. The IP69 certification guarantees excellent dust and water resistance in extreme conditions. Microtess promised to include this certification in the project’s compliance documentation to ensure the equipment’s reliability in adverse conditions.
The client emphasized the importance of obtaining detailed structural drawings and technical documents. These documents are essential for accurate installation, maintenance, and compliance checks of the weighbridge.
Confirming the presence and functionality of metrological switching was crucial to ensure that the indicators meet legal measurement requirements. The Microtess team demonstrated this feature of the indicators, ensuring that it could be locked to prevent unauthorized calibration changes, thereby guaranteeing legal and safe operation.
Building on the initial successful cooperation, the client expressed significant interest in Microtess’s P580SD digital sensors. The P580SD, with its exceptional accuracy and durability, perfectly meets the client’s high requirements for weighing systems in harsh environments. The client decided to place a bulk order for P580SD digital sensors from Microtess in the coming months to further enhance the performance and reliability of their weighing systems.
These digital sensors will be used across the client’s multiple production lines, ensuring that every aspect of the weighing operation meets the highest standards. Additionally, Microtess will provide comprehensive technical support, including on-site installation guidance, remote debugging services, and regular maintenance and calibration, to ensure that the sensors maintain optimal performance throughout their lifecycle.
Through this meeting and subsequent collaboration, Microtess not only provided the client with a weighing solution that meets international standards but also strengthened the partnership through the bulk procurement of P580SD digital sensors. This not only offers robust technical support for the client’s operations but also lays a solid foundation for Microtess’s expansion in the Ugandan market.
This successful technical discussion and collaboration have laid a solid foundation for the long-term partnership between Microtess and the client. With the bulk ordering of P580SD digital sensors, Microtess will continue to maintain its leading position in the weighing technology sector, providing clients with efficient, reliable, and internationally compliant solutions. The partnership will further deepen in future projects, jointly driving innovation and application in weighing technology.
