Dynamic Systems, Inc. - a software developer specialising in barcode data collection - has announced a scale interface for its SIMBA Seafood Tracking Systems.

SIMBA provides seafood processors the ability to process, label and track their products from boat to customer.

The SIMBA (Specialized Inventory Management with Barcode Accuracy) scale interface solves the problem of how to produce and track complete product labelling for seafood on the fly and allows for automatic calculation of net weight.

SIMBA is designed for companies who need fast and accurate information for production and sales. SIMBA tracks, labels and ships an unlimited number of products with specific species and characteristics. The system automatically generates bills of lading and verifies shipments eliminating charge-backs. There are three separate modules available from entry level to enterprise. SIMBA Enterprise allows the user to track and organise products by pallet, lot and case. Inventory can be tracked by location, allowing moves from warehouse to warehouse, including repeated commingling and re-boxing at any point in the process without losing lot traceability.

SIMBA now interfaces directly to any scale that has a digital output to a serial or USB port. The weight of the carton is automatically added to the database within SIMBA and may be added to the label on the fly. The ability to have this information automatically can save the producer or packer time when processing and packing products.
