Mettler Toledo FormWeigh.Net formulation software

Mettler Toledo’s networked software solution, FormWeigh.Net, puts users in control of the formulation process through the elimination of human errors, cost optimisation, compliance, and an increase in quality, consistency and efficiency.

The software ensures the formulation process delivers stable product quality. Tailored to match operations, it can automate, streamline and simplify complex formulation routines. According to the company, it can also boost productivity and profitability, while helping to reduce raw material waste and labour inefficiencies.

With the software, bad batches are eliminated through the use of systematic quality checks. The software ensures expired or quarantined materials are not used by accident in the weigh and dispense process, and operators are guided through accurate weighing with easy to understand dialogues and colour displays. Security features such as barcode verification scans help ensure full compliance and traceability is achieved automatically. All information, including recipe details, order data and executed work steps, are stored in a centralised database and can be retrieved at any time for monitoring and reporting.

FormWeigh.Net is flexible and scalable to a user’s needs. It operates on standard PCs as well as rugged industrial scale terminals which are suitable for washdown or hygienic manufacturing areas. Built on standard network architectures, the system allows benefits to be achieved immediately in critical areas while providing a means for easy expansion as needed.

When used in regulated industries such as pharmaceutical or nutraceutical production, the software can be enhanced with additional functionality to achieve full regulatory compliance. Complete validation documentation developed according to GAMP5 guidelines is also available. If needed, the software can also be linked to ERP systems for automatic and error-free exchange of order and stock data.
