GMS Track
Data Management System
This state-of-the-art system is designed to automate the
identification, weighing and printing of tickets – increasing your
throughput by dramatically improving efficiency.
- End of day reconciliations are eliminated.
- Handwritten tickets are eliminated. The printed ticket is easy to
read, and is much less expensive than preprinted forms.
- You enter only changes from the previous record; as a
result clerical errors are almost completely eliminated
- The information is immediately available for the accounting
system. We have interfaced with most major accounting packages and a
number of "home-grown" accounting packages.
- You can run reports at any time to answer questions and review
efficiency.
- The system is modular so additional capabilities like grading,
inventory, blending, bar code scanning, unattended operation, and
automation can be added at any time.
- One or more than one platform scale can be displayed
simultaneously on a single screen.
To ensure the highest reliability we supply an Industrial Computer
that is specially designed for harsh environments. It has the following
advantages over a standard OfficePC:
- UL listed, heavy duty all-steel case that can be rack mounted
- Shock mounted drives and hold down card clamps
- Filtered air system with positive air pressure to prevent dust
infiltration
- Lockable front door to prevent unauthorized access
The CompuWeigh GMS Track System is already in operation at a number
of the leading grain and other companies, including ConAgra, Continental
Grain, Cargill, Columbia Grain and Harvest States, and ProGold. We are
confident that we can assist you with your application.

Key Benefits
Ease of Use
- Our system is designed for all levels
of skill. We are the only company that lets you use a "Touch
Screen", Function keys or a mouse to run the system..
- Because our system is a true "Windows" product we have
the clearest and easiest to understand screens. We use big buttons
on the screen so that even on a cold day someone wearing gloves can
operate the system.
- Everything is on one screen.
- Almost no typing is required. In most cases the computer gives the
you a list to pick from.
Multi-user
- Any number of people can work on the system at
one time. For example, one person can identify, another can grade,
two operators can weigh and a Supervisor can monitor the system or
run reports. All at the same time with no slow down of speed.
- Others claim to be multi-user but won’t let
two operators work on the same item at the same time. This becomes a
major frustration.
- On a local area network the system is so fast
that you cannot tell if the information is coming from your hard
disk or half a mile away. Some of our competitors use serial
communications which is 500 times slower!
No obsolescence
- Our Industrial Computer uses Intel pentium processors. If you want
a faster system just add an upgrade processor or more memory.
- We are continuing to add new features and power to our system. We
provide these enhancements annually to our customers at nominal
cost.
- CompuWeigh is the leader in providing computerized weighing
solutions to the Grain Industry. We will continue to invest the vast
majority of our development funds into this market
- Our modular design allows you to add new components at anytime
without ever having to throw out equipment or programs.
Management Reporting
- We don’t just provide accounting information.
We give the Supervisor information that helps them run their
facility more efficiently.
- We are the only Company that offers a fully
integrated management reporting and graphics package. The system
comes with standard reports that provide most of the information you
need.
- Designing your own reports is also very easy.
Our "drag and drop" system allows you to "draw"
on the screen the exact report that you want.
- Instant graphs can be made from any report.
- Information can also be transmitted to all
major Grain Accounting systems, either by modem or through a local
area network.
Flexible
- You can configure the system to run the way you
want.
- In our Grading system, you decide which factors
you want to use, the order they appear on the screen and the maximum
and minimum acceptable values.
- You can Grade, Weigh and ID in any order.
- The reporting system allows you to produce any
report you want.
Powerful Communications
- With our recommended built in Fax/modem you can
instantly transmit any report or graph to another location.
- Our databases are in the Industry Standard
dBASE format. You can also export information in a wide range of
formats for transmission to Host computers or for importing into
your favorite spreadsheet.
- If you have a problem, we can log onto your
computer and show you right on your screen how to run the
program properly. This also allows us to make updates and changes to
your system without the need for expensive service calls. In all
cases these changes are only made with your express permission.
Technical features
Customer Database
- The system will handle any number of single and
multiple landlord accounts.
- The program will locate the customer's record
even if you only know a part of the last name, account code or
vehicle number.
- Information is automatically maintained for
customer's contracts based on commodities, including total amount,
amount applied to contract and balance left on the contract.
- Special discounts can be applied on a per
contract basis.
- The system maintains a list of vehicles owned
by each customer so that you only need to select the customer and
automatically a list of his vehicles is displayed for easy
selection.
Transactions
- The system can handle receiving, shipping,
transfers and miscellaneous weighings (like fertilizer and dust).
- You can maintain separate sequences of ticket
numbers for each of the above categories. Number sequences can be
changed on the fly.
- Grain transactions are automatically formatted
and can be transmitted to a remote host computer either in real time
or batch mode.
Grading
- The system automatically asks for the relevant
grade factors for the commodity chosen.
- You can design the grading screen to match the
layout on your pan ticket.
- Maximum and minimum values can be preset for
each factor to prevent incorrect entry.
- Automatic FGIS grading is available with manual
over-ride.
Inventory
- All bins are identified by capacity, commodity
and grade.
- Automatic bin selection based on grades with
manual over-ride.
- Interlocking to prevent accidental grain
mixing.
- Automatic and manual adjustment of bin levels.
Reports and Graphs
- We have the most extensive reporting system
available. You can run one of the many standard reports, modify them
or design you own by "drawing" them on the screen.
- Reports can printed, previewed on the screen
(to avoid the normal trial and error process of printing multiple
times to get the report looking right), stored in a file for later
use, or FAXED to another location.
- All data can be graphed in many different
formats. In "automatic mode" the system handles
everything. If you then want to make a change, for example add a new
heading or change the maximum and minimum values, you can do so
without difficulty.
Options
- Multi-user version for running more than one workstation.
- Communications interface to new or existing CompuDraft 2000 Bulk
Weighing scales for down loading Rail Car information.
- Control up to 8 bulkweighing or platform scales from one computer.
- Communications to Automatic Grading equipment.

packages.
- Custom links to various Accounting Systems
- Database conversion of your existing information to the run on the
system
- A comprehensive Inventory system that obsoletes the bin board and
improves your ability to blend out efficiently.
- Bar code and RF tag readers for automatic identification of rail
cars.
