Scale Indicator Integration

Cloud scale ticketing for Avery Weigh-Tronix.

The ZM series broadcasts weight continuously with B-Cast — Avery Weigh-Tronix's token-formatted stream, configurable from 1 to 100 updates a second — and every current ZM ships with Ethernet TCP/IP on board. CloudAgg reads the broadcast straight off your network (or a serial port) and runs your scale house from the cloud: ticketing, pricing, inventory, dispatch, and an unattended kiosk.

How it connects

Speaks B-Cast.

Broadcast by design

B-Cast streams the live weight in a format you control, token by token, at up to 100 Hz. CloudAgg reads the standard weight broadcast as-is — and the ZM201's SMA broadcast, too.

B-Cast · 1–100 Hz

Ethernet standard across the ZM line

Every current ZM — ZM201 through ZM615 — has Ethernet TCP/IP built in. For most sites that means zero additional hardware: CloudAgg connects straight over the scale-house network.

Native TCP/IP, no option cards

GSE terminals too

GSE 460, 560, and 660 programmable terminals — still common in aggregate plants — stream continuous through Custom Transmit over their serial ports. A ~$100 device server puts them on the network.

Serial-only indicator or no option card? A serial-to-Ethernet device server such as the Moxa NPort 5110/5150 (typically around $100) puts the RS-232 stream on your network — no changes to the indicator, no recertification of the scale. Details on the integrations overview.

Switching software, keeping hardware

Your Avery Weigh-Tronix indicator stays. The legacy software goes.

If SMSTurbo, ScaleIt, or WinTik is reading your Avery Weigh-Tronix indicator today, CloudAgg reads the very same stream — switching software never means touching the scale. We import your materials, customers, trucks, and price lists, and our team handles the hardware call with your scale tech. See the guide to switching scale-ticketing software.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does CloudAgg work with my ZM510?

Yes, and it's one of the easiest connections there is: the ZM510 has Ethernet TCP/IP built in, so CloudAgg reads its B-Cast broadcast straight off the scale-house network. No option cards, no converters.

We have an older ZM301 or ZQ375 — the models the ZM223 replaced. Supported?

Very likely, but output configuration on those models varies by install, so we confirm against your unit rather than promise blindly. Send us the model and we'll check it with you before you commit to anything.

Is the GSE 560 in our plant really still usable?

Yes. The GSE 460/560/660 family streams continuous through its Custom Transmit feature over serial. A ~$100 serial-to-Ethernet device server puts it on your network, and CloudAgg reads it like any modern indicator.

What do I set on the indicator?

Enable the weight broadcast (B-Cast) on the port or network interface CloudAgg listens on — it's part of the ZM configuration menus. Our team walks your scale tech through it on the onboarding call.

Will connecting CloudAgg affect the scale's certification?

No. CloudAgg is a read-only listener on the indicator's broadcast — the same stream that feeds a remote display. It records the certified weight exactly as transmitted and never alters it; the indicator remains the legal-for-trade device.
