CONNECTIVITY AND TECHNOLOGY
Connect your application to a scale
ScaleWebLink reads data and performs permitted scale actions through a REST API. Include weighing in your existing application's workflow.
- Scale integration within an existing application
- Structured responses where supported by the protocol
- Test connectivity before rollout
Keep your business application at the centre
Connect the scale through CloudScaleLink and configure it in Scale Monitor. Define permitted actions and commands for its protocol.
Register Scale Monitor and add a compatible scale.
Configure the protocol and actions such as capturing weight.
The external system sends an authorised request.
ScaleWebLink returns the response and available data.
The application checks success and measurement status before continuing.
What your system receives
The response includes the request result and scale reply. Structured data depends on the protocol.
- Net, gross, tare, unit and stability where available.
- Error or timeout information.
- The action performed and response timing.
Test integration with a simulator
Use the API test tool to check commands and responses. Develop the connection with the simulator before connecting a physical scale.
- Handle unavailable devices and missing responses.
- Do not interpret an empty field as a zero measurement.
- Store credentials securely in the integration, not in public website code.
GOOD TO KNOW
Answers to your questions
Is this the same API used for weighing history?
No. ScaleWebLink communicates with the connected scale. The Scale Monitor REST API exchanges weighing records and database information with the platform.
Can we test without a scale?
Yes. ScaleWebLink includes an API test tool and simulator option. Validate the actual protocol and equipment before rollout.
Can we use our existing scale?
Often, yes. We check the manufacturer, model, communication interface and protocol, as well as suitability for your workflow.
