EMCO: emco AP 500-M6 solution

Moisture determination technology for waste paper with automatic data transfer

The emco AP 500-M6 solution is a web-based measurement technology for mobile paper moisture determination of recovered paper bales. A measurement job is opened via barcode reader or a waste paper bale is selected for measurement by RFID reader. The moisture meter determines the absolute humidity in waste paper by simple pressing. This moisture content allows a water-precise billing of a waste paper delivery and improves the economy of the recovered paper preparation. At the same time a complaint of too wet bales prevents not only costs but also unpleasant consequences such as rot or heat.

The measured values ​​are provided with user-identifier, device number, date, time as well as location (GPS) and are transmitted wireless and encrypted to a database. The database evaluation checks reliability and plausibility of the data. Several locations could be merged into one database. Administrators can manage users, devices and locations. With this new system a secure, manipulation-free and transparent recovered paper management system is possible for all parties. The database is prepared to receive more information about the job or bales, such as the weight.
