AxChange Weight Monitoring and Tracking for Industrial Scales

Smarter than Google Sheets. Built for real-world operations.

If you’re logging weight data with Google Sheets, you already know the power of simple visibility. But what happens when your connection drops, you need automated alerts, or you want centralized control across multiple locations?

AxChange goes beyond spreadsheets. Designed for industrial use, AxChange offers:

  • Offline continuity – log data even when internet is down
  • Remote control – zero, tare, switch units, or view screen from anywhere
  • Automated alerts – receive critical weight notifications via SMS/email
  • Custom integrations – export data to your internal tools or access via API

With real-time dashboards, secure access control, and robust failover protections, AxChange ensures that your scale data is accurate, available, and actionable—no matter the network conditions.

Try it free during beta and see how AxChange outperforms spreadsheets for critical industrial monitoring.

Cloud Monitoring and Tracking Features

Real-Time Monitoring & Remote Control

Stay connected to your operations—wherever you are. AxChange allows you to view and control weights across all connected scales in real time, making it ideal for remote teams, distributed facilities, and sensitive processes.

  • Live Weight Tracking: View current weights of tanks, drums, and equipment from any device via RemoteWeight®.
  • Remote Control: Perform key functions remotely—zero, tare, unit switching, and net/gross toggle.
  • Full Display Access: Mirror the scale interface directly on your device for live interaction.

Data Continuity & Offline Recovery

Most systems fail when connectivity is lost. AxChange doesn’t. It ensures uninterrupted logging—even during outages—and syncs automatically when back online.

  • Exponential Fallback Logging: Logs continue offline and sync when reconnected—no data gaps.
  • Automatic Data Backup: Protect historical records with persistent storage and auto-recovery.
  • Export Options: Download reports in CSV, Excel, or PDF formats for your records or audits.

Centralized Data Analysis & Dashboards

Turn your weight data into decisions. AxChange centralizes scale readings across sites and offers visual dashboards to track trends and system status.

  • Unified Dashboard: Snapshot overview of all operational scales with live readings and statuses.
  • Custom Views: Create dashboards tailored to departments, product lines, or processes.
  • Weight History Logs: Track, filter, and analyze historical readings by time, user, or device.

Automated Alerts & Critical Setpoints

Catch issues before they become problems. Whether it’s overfill, under-delivery, or leaks, AxChange automates alerts and action.

  • Email & SMS Alerts: Be notified when target thresholds are breached—low, high, or abnormal.
  • Setpoint-Based Controls: Automate pumps, valves, or alerts based on programmable weight values.
  • Remote Safety Interventions: Configure remote stop/start actions for fail-safe operations.

Remote Scale Management & Maintenance

AxChange isn’t just a dashboard. It’s a remote IT toolkit for your scales.

  • Firmware Updates: Upload firmware patches to any scale from the cloud.
  • Parameter Syncing: Update tare weights, samples, or setpoint formulas across all connected devices.
  • Status Monitoring: Review signal, connectivity, and performance to catch issues early.

User Access & Administrative Control

Manage who can see and change what. With tiered permissions, accountability and security are built-in.

  • Hierarchical Access Levels: Assign roles to restrict or expand access as needed.
  • Audit Trails: See which users performed which actions and when.
  • Multi-User Collaboration: Ideal for teams managing shared equipment across shifts or departments.

3rd-Party Platform Support & Integration

AxChange works out of the box with Arlyn Scales—but it’s also designed to scale with your systems.

  • Works with Arlyn UpScale & MKE-5: Fully compatible with all Arlyn smart indicators and load cell amplifiers.
  • 3rd-Party Scale Compatibility: Extend AxChange to non-Arlyn platforms via the UpScale retrofit.
  • Open API Access: Integrate with ERP, MES, LIMS, or custom software workflows using our documented API.

How AxChange Connects to Your Scales

AxChange Weight Monitoring and Tracking Solution allows multiple ways of integrating scales to the cloud platform.

Scale Connectivity

Scenario #1

Scales directly connected to the internet for weight transmission to the AxChange Portal.

 

Scenario #2

Scales connected through an on-site software data aggregator (AxChange Data Unifier) connected to the AxChange Portal.

3rd-Party Scale & System Integration

AxChange isn’t limited to Arlyn hardware — it’s a scalable monitoring and data logging solution that integrates seamlessly with a wide range of third-party scales, indicators, and enterprise platforms. Whether you’re operating a mixed-brand environment or retrofitting older systems, AxChange makes it easy to unify your data and extend the life of your existing equipment.

Compatible with Non-Arlyn Hardware

AxChange was built with flexibility in mind. For facilities that already rely on legacy or non-Arlyn scales, our platform supports integration through:

  • Arlyn UpScale Indicator – The most robust integration experience, enabling full AxChange control, monitoring, and remote access capabilities.
  • MKE-5 Digital Indicator – A streamlined digital readout option for basic monitoring and logging.
  • Digital Load Cell Amplifiers – For retrofitting analog or older load cell platforms, bringing them into the digital cloud ecosystem.

By introducing Arlyn’s indicators or amplifiers to your current setup, you can immediately enable cloud-based functionality without replacing your entire scale infrastructure.

Unified Data Across Mixed Environments

In industrial operations, it’s not uncommon to find equipment from multiple vendors across departments or locations. AxChange brings all of that weight data together through the AxChange Data Unifier — a lightweight, on-site software tool that connects multiple scales (Arlyn or third-party) to the cloud.

Once connected, AxChange consolidates live weight data, historical logs, and device settings into one intuitive dashboard. This eliminates the need for manual data entry or siloed logging systems, reducing error and increasing operational visibility.

Seamless API & Export Access

For advanced users and IT teams, AxChange provides a REST API for custom integrations with:

  • ERP and MRP systems
  • Quality control dashboards
  • Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS)
  • SCADA platforms
  • Internal data lakes or reporting infrastructure

In addition to API access, AxChange supports scheduled exports in CSV, Excel, or PDF formats — and can even pipe data into tools like Google Sheets or Power BI for real-time reporting.

Real-World Example

A manufacturing facility using legacy bench scales from multiple vendors wanted to enable remote weight monitoring without replacing hardware. By retrofitting each scale with Arlyn’s digital indicator and connecting them through the Data Unifier, the team was able to:

  • Remotely monitor all weights from a single dashboard
  • Set alerts for material thresholds and flow rate anomalies
  • Export daily batch data automatically to their ERP system

This hybrid approach saved them tens of thousands in replacement costs — and transformed their outdated setup into a connected, cloud-ready network.

AxChange: Beta Access with Full Support
