BatchLink
Order Entry upgrades your BatchTon
batching controller into a flexible and powerful single plant Ready-Mix
operation, handing all your scheduling of orders, dispatching, truck management
and inventory on a daily basis, as well as giving you reports on all important
activities and, if you wish, tying into your accounting software.
The BatchTron controller connects to your existing or new PC
computer by a single cable up to 4000 ft. long, or by radio link if desired,
allowing batching by remote control. The BatchTron controller can still be used
on its own, to make fully automatic batches, at any time.

Note that if you are purchasing Order Entry /

will be driving your business. You must have reliable computers with
adequate speed and memory as well as a reliable network and a local IT
specialist who can maintain your network.
STI (Service and Training by Internet)
Redilink's reliability is excellent. This is not
where we stop, however. Our customers tell us - loud and clear - when they
do have a problem. In order to solve problems quickly and efficiently we
have called upon the latest Internet technology. Through your company
network and its Internet connection, or even through a phone connection to the
Internet, we can access your system and monitor its progress to pinpoint faults.
Even if the faults are caused by mechanical problems in the plant (90% of all
faults are), we can see the resulting holdup and guide the operator to a
successful outcome, anywhere in the world.
Our engineers can monitor or control the PC computer
running BatchLink or RediLink software, drilling down through levels of menus to
check setup data, correct it and, most important, train personnel to understand
the processes. Together with a speaker phone, training sessions for groups
can be conducted almost as easily as our trainer being on site. The cost
saving and convenience is obvious. Scale-Tron is pioneering this
technology to make your experience the best possible.
THE COST
BatchLink is, surprisingly, very
inexpensive. Use your own PC computer; BatchLink's installation software
runs automatically and sets everything up for you. AND IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE
A BATCHTRON batching controller, BATCHLINK IS ONE MORE REASON TO GET ONE. The
BatchTron cable plugs right into your computer's serial port (COM1 or COM2) and
you are ready to go. Call us or use our
