e.Sense and SM-6000 SSP Scale

A Clean and Affordable Solution

At the heart of the solution is the SM-6000 self-service scale, featuring an intuitive interface for easy weighing and labeling. DIGI customized the system by integrating the REWE Mockenhaupt logo, importing PLUs with product images, and linking each PLU to an e.Sense sensor. These sensors, installed on the gravity and scoop containers, automatically transmit the product PLU to the scale when a product is accessed. The scale also supports storing tare weights of customer containers.

Easy Usability for Customers

Customer Process:

1. Place the empty container on the scale and select "Empty Container."
2. A label with tare weight and a unique tare number is printed.
3. Fill the container; the sensor detects the product and sends the PLU to the scale.
4. Place the filled container back on the scale and select "Filled Container."
5. Choose the tare number; the product image appears.
6. Confirm to print the label for checkout scanning.
