The scales will include a new version of its B-100 Waterproof Scale – the company’s best-selling scale to breweries – and a slightly larger scale for kegs and sacks. The new B-100 will have the same features as the existing model, such as Tare and Counting functions and IP68 stainless steel casing, but will run on replaceable batteries instead of a rechargeable unit. The larger scale, the MSS-I-400, has a bright red LED weight display for dim environments, and will have a choice of base sizes available. Marsden’s Marketing Manager, David Smith said: “We believe we are now the UK’s leading supplier of weighing scales to brewers – after 18 months of helping countless brewers with their weighing needs, and selling products to some of the UK’s largest breweries. “The B-100 is now available with replaceable batteries meaning it doesn’t need to be plugged in if the batteries go flat. It makes it much more flexible if you’re not working near a plug socket! “The MSS-I-400 is part of a whole range of new scales we’ve just launched – with easy-to-use features, bright red display and weight readings in kg or lb. It’s a rugged scale and is built to last for years. Whether you need to weigh ingredients, kegs or palletised shipments – we’ve a suitable scale. We’re looking forward to meeting brewers at BeerX again this year, and helping them make great beer with precision weighing instruments!” At last year’s SIBA BeerX, Marsden displayed a B-100 inside a fish tank to prove its waterproof credentials. Drink-IT, the brewery management software solution for the beverage industry, will be exhibiting the latest release of its software at Beer X. The new Drink-IT Release 8 provides improved industry processes and functionality for UK and international brewery businesses through the enhanced management of duty and taxes, EMCS, plant maintenance, trade promotions, purchase invoices and order shipment planning. Some of the key highlights that will be demonstrated at this year’s Beer X include the new Drink-IT Alcohol Balance report, which allows production sites to control and record the movement of alcohol through all business operations. For breweries and other beverage companies who are importing and exporting to European countries, a number of important improvements have been made to the Excise Management and Control System (EMCS) module in Drink-IT to automate and manage the required Inbound and Outbound messages even more efficiently. For the effective maintenance of brewing equipment, new Plant Maintenance extensions have been created to improve the Work Order process from the Plant Maintenance Dispatch Board. In order to provide breweries with improved controls for returned goods, return reason codes can now be set up with a default quarantine location to ensure that the returned stock is blocked from usage until it has passed a quality inspection and been positively released to stock. A new order shipment planning graphical map enables your delivery planning team to schedule the most cost and time-effective delivery routes and usage of your delivery vehicles. Drink-IT already offers breweries the flexibility to utilise a wide range of trade promotions to promote your beers to your customers. The latest promotional extension now includes “Mix & Match” promotions so that your customers can choose out of a list of free promotional items when they reach the required promotional quantity trigger allowing you to be more creative and flexible in your promotions. Fed up of having to manually process your purchase orders? In Drink-IT, you can now set up correction tolerances for the processing of automated purchase invoices. This allows you to manage minor differences in purchase invoice calculations automatically rather than having to rely on manual adjustments. Considering a new business system for your brewery?
