Technical specifications
The full range, in one matrix.
Platforms are specified by footprint and capacity. Pick the size that matches the bin and the capacity that covers the parts inside — every combination below is a standard build, and anything beyond it is made to order.

Part-count accuracy depends on the weight of a single part relative to the platform resolution. Heavier parts count reliably on higher-capacity platforms; light parts are best matched to a 1, 3 or 5 kg unit. Not sure which to pick? Price my system picks for you.

Gateway MBS-GATEWAY
- Network interface for one chain — wired Ethernet (no Wi-Fi)
- Powers and reads up to 100 scales
- USB-C downstream to the first scale
- Keeps readings if the network drops and sends them when it reconnects
- Reports its health every 5 minutes: scale cable, scales answering
- Paired to your account with the setup code on its label
StockMonitor app Cloud, browser-based
- Dashboard with total parts, low, empty and offline bins
- Bin list with counts, % full, min and max levels
- Low-stock, empty, overfull, scale and gateway offline alerts by email
- Activity log of every stock change and calibration
- CSV export and bulk CSV import
- Read-only API for your ERP, such as Sage X3
- Admin and Viewer users, two-step sign-in for everyone
- Multiple sites, each in its own time zone
Every chain needs one Gateway. It powers the scales over USB-C and sends their counts to the StockMonitor app over wired Ethernet.
How does the system connect?
Scales chain together with USB-C, which carries power and data. One Gateway per chain of up to 100 scales connects to your network by Ethernet cable, and every count appears in the StockMonitor app.
