Abstract
Currently, some companies still use traditional weighing systems, constantly encountering problems that worsen their development. One of the main problems it usually shows is the lack of correct identification of the products that enter and leave a factory, in which it is considered essential to propose a more optimal design to speed up the registration of products and substantially improve productivity. That is why, in this research work, the implementation of an encoder weighing system is proposed for the optimization of a sausage processing plant, which will be shown with weighing software that will record the daily or monthly productivity according to the client's needs. The proposed system is made up of a 304 stainless steel electronic scale, a model TP9001 indicator with IP66 protection and an SBARCO model T4 labeler. This last device will work by means of thermal transfer with polypropylene tape in order to obtain a label resistant to humidity since basic frozen products will be used. As a result, it was obtained that the design of the weighing system was very effective in its implementation because it improved the final productivity of the packaging and labeling of the products by 98%. On the other hand, it is concluded that the project carried out would benefit any type of company since the system can work in various types of environments; In addition, its implementation is not complex, and its cost is accessible in terms of advantages and differences from other systems.
