ULTIMA 2000 PLU PREPACK WEIGHING SYSTEM
STAND-ALONE System can be free-standing for hand weighing
and labeling.
HAND WRAP STATION Using the HWS Wrap Stand, the Ultima is a
productive system for lower volume operations, as well as complimenting higher volume operations.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC Using the ILA or CLA Indexers, packages are
wrapped manually. Weighing and labeling occurs automatically. Using the NWS FastPak, wrapping and weighing occurs automatically, and the label is applied manually.
These systems provide flexibility in medium
volume operations.
FULLY AUTOMATIC Using the ESW Film Mizer or the NSW FastPak,
wrapping, weighing and labeling occur auto­matically to provide an extremely productive and efficient system for a high volume operation.

ULTIMA 2000 FEATURES:
OPERATOR’S CONTROL PANEL
Remote and dual keyboard capabilities.
Large, High Resolution Display: Presents clear,
crisp images in an easy to read format. Maximizes productivity, reduces operator training, and minimizes errors due to a visual confirmation of the product data. All necessary operator data appears on the screen: Totals type, product number, description, unit price, tare, shelf life, _sell-by date, UPC number, weight and total price for verification.
Security can be assigned to any field in the item record on the operator display (configured by user) denying access to that field.
8 function keys (F1-F8) correspond to menu selections on the screen. This simplifies option selection since the system is menu driven and options are easy to find. Accelerates system operation because all PLU information is immediately accessible. Reduces operator error since the number of keys required on the operator control panel are reduced. Reduces complexity since keys with dual meanings are eliminated.

Total types
– Total types allow the operator to track totals for
production as well as 7 other user defined totals, such as rewraps, markdowns, discards, specials, new items and cutting tests. Also available are class totals to track product categories, hourly totals to assist scheduling and operator totals to track productivity. Total types provide greater control and productivity measurements.
MEMORY CAPACITY
2MB of memory standard on automatic systems (approximately 16,000 PLU’s with basic item information).
5MB standard on manual systems (approximately 4,000 PLU’s with basic item information).
All units expandable up to 6MB in 2MB increments, which provides plenty of future data storage (approximately 48,000 PLU’s with basic item information).
Battery backup for memory retention up to 100 hours.
SPECIAL OPERATOR FUNCTIONS
Help key:
– Allows access to the one screen PLU library.
Speed Keys:
One-keystroke memory for the most frequently
used PLU’s. Faster operations and reduced error probability is the result of fewer keystrokes needed to enter product information.
Weigh type:
– Automatic, semi-automatic and manual weigh-
ing methods meet all needs.
– Repeat allows the operator to print multiple
labels with the same data.
– Countdown provides the ability to easily
produce a specific quantity of an item by weight, value or number of packages with a totals label for each run and carton.
OPTIONS FOR PROGRAMMING MEMORY
Manually through the supervisor’s control panel or with optional computer type keyboard plugged into the bottom of the control panel.
Cassette or disk load with optional data recorders.
– Mini-network to other Ultimas or to SP Series
Systems.
Computer controlled Scalemaster networking system. Scalemaster provides uninterrupted scale operations even during communications, provides extra flexibility and efficiencies when transmitting and receiving data.
CHANGE FILE
Any changes to the item file through the Ultima keyboard are flagged resulting in only the changes being transmitted during mini-net or writing to a disk or cassette. Reduces time since “changes” only are sent rather than the entire item file.
