The new Sherwood BlueNotes system has been applied to the model 926 chloride analyser resulting in a salt analysis management system designed initially for the cheese processing industry
The BlueNotes system in this application comprises blue tooth dongles for Sherwood's M926 chloride analyser and for a balance (currently A+D and Ohaus), a Pocket PC which is Bluetooth enabled, and a laptop computer, plus the company's salt analysis software application.
The salt analysis software can be configured by the operator to suit their particular laboratory requirements.
The Pocket PC uses a laptop as its host computer.
Some of the advantages are:.
No transcription errors.
No time wasted doing manual calculations.
No need to take exact precise sample and diluent weights.
Automatic data storage and report generation.
It has been estimated that there is a 50% time saving of a skilled analytical technician when 50 samples are run in a batch.
