UniDriver used by Royal Agrifirm Group

News

Our UniDriver-software is used by Royal Agrifirm Group to retrieve weights in SAP S/4HANA.
UniDriver is connected to stand-alone weighbridges in Hungary via TCP/IP.

Users of Agrifirm can receive the current weight easily by a single click on the ‘weigh-button’ in SAP S/4HANA.
The button is set with a UniDriver-command to receive the UniDriver weight.

The solution is in production with 3 stand-alone weighbridges.
In the future Agrifirm might use this solution for more than 10 other stand-alone weighbridges across the whole world.

SSL/TLS-protocol enabled for UniProxy

News

UniProxy is an additional UniWin® service-tool that manages easy communications with other UniWin-systems (Desktop-Clients, UniMobile-App and UniWin-App) and/or applications in and out of the public network. This 1-proxy-tunnel-service routes all communications from and to the applicable UniWin-systems and other systems, so this means easy support and setup.

As an example below a brief description of its usage at our customer Agrifirm, where it services the following;

  • UniWin to UniWin communications related to inter-company transports. (30+sites are connected)
  • Usage of UniWin® App so that managers can retrieve management information when and wherever they want.
  • The exchange of data between UniWin and their ERP-system.

UniProxy supports all common communication-protocols and can service as a webservice allowing standard HTML GET/POST/PUT/DELETE commands. To-date the communications were secured via an internal encryption-function. With the new release all communications are secured by the SSL/TLS-protocol.

UniWin® Test Certificate – TC5788 (Rev. 3)

News

Recently the UniWin® Test Certificate TC5788 (Weights and Measures approval) has been revised for the third time.
This revision was solely an administrative formality, to describe what was already authorized within the limits of revision 2.

Added was a description to explain that UniWin is capable to manage so called “Verbund-functionality” in an approved manner.
“Verbund-functionality” is adding the actual weight of the different scales to one measurement.

A common example is a platform rail-scale,
mostly they have two decks (6m./18m.) so they can accommodate different wagon-types, without having to uncouple them for the purpose of weighing.

In the case a wagon is long and uses both decks, UniWin calculates the weights of both decks to one measurement.
