Your existing scale integration
Keep the scale you already have — FortressYard reads it and puts live weights straight on the ticket.
You don't need a new scale. A lightweight agent runs on the computer in your scale house, reads your indicator, and streams the live weight into the terminal in real time. Operators capture the weight with one tap when it's stable, or type it in — both are first-class. And because the agent runs right there on your scale-house computer, weighing keeps going even when the internet drops.
The data shows up where the work happens
Refreshed on a schedule, so you're working from today's data — not a spreadsheet someone exported last quarter.
It shows up where the work happens — the scale house, dispatch, the quote, the call sheet — not in a separate tool to remember.
If Your existing scale is briefly unavailable, nothing stops. Operations keep running and the data refreshes on the next successful pull.
FortressYard runs the connection for you. There's nothing new for the crew to log into or maintain.
Set it up once, then it just runs
A small agent installs on the scale-house computer you already use — as a tray app or a headless service.
Point it at your FortressYard site with a secure key, and it starts reading your indicator.
The live weight shows in the terminal with its status — stable, in motion, over or under. Tap to capture when it's stable, or type it manually.
Every ticket notes whether the weight was captured from the scale or entered by hand, with the exact reading kept for audit.
