Introduction
Electronic weighing systems are used in
industries and business establishments for weighing and segregating
materials accurately for process sales. The main advantages
of an electronic weighing system when compared with mechanical
weighing systems are:
(a) Compactness and small size independent
of capacity.
(b) Ruggedness and high dependability.
(c) High speed of response and rapid weighing.
(d) Good accuracy.
(e) Excellent flexibility to monitor multiple loads.
(f) Analog and digital with print-out facility remote indication
and parallel display.
(g) Online processing through computer.
The electronic weighing system comprises
the basic load cell, suitable signal conditioners and output
recorders/ indicators giving both the analog and digital output
for further processing. The signals from the load cell are
amplified and fed to analog/digital converter, which provide
an output in the digital format for display/ printing/processing
etc. The strain gauge based load cell is the most popular
weight transducer used in the electronic weighing system.
Market Potential
The total production in industrial electronic
and control instrumentation is showing growth rate every year.
This product requires a good marketing set up duly backed
by after sales service facilities. If the price of the weighing
scales is brought down and good after sales facility made
available, there will be sufficient demand for this item.
Basis and Presumptions
(i) The basis for calculation of production
capacity has been taken on two shifts of 8 hrs each per day
basis on 75% efficiency.
(ii) The maximum capacity utilization
on single shift basis for 300 days a year. During first year
and second year of operations the capacity utilization is
60% and 80% respectively. The unit is expected to achieve
full capacity utilization from the third year onwards.
(iii) The salaries and wages, cost of
raw materials, utilities, civil construction etc. are based
on the prevailing rates in and around north India . These
cost factors are likely to vary with time and location.
(iv) Interest on term loan and working
capital loan has been taken at the rate of 12% on an average.
This rate may vary depending upon the policy of the financial
institutions/agencies from time to time.
(v) The cost of machinery and equipments
refer to a particular make/model and prices are approximate.
(vi) The break-even point percentage indicated
is of full capacity utilization.
(vii) The project preparation cost etc.
whenever required could be considered under pre-operative
expenses.
(viii) The essential production machinery
and test equipment required for the project have been indicated.
The unit may also utilize common test facilities available
at Electronics Test and Development Centres (ETDCs) and Electronic
Regional Test Laboratories (ERTLs) set up by the State Governments
and STQC Directorate of the Department of Information Technology,
Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, to manufacture
products conforming to Bureau of Indian Standards.

Technical Aspects
Process of Manufacture
The manufacturing process involves the
assembly of load cell, electronic circuits and electro mechanical
hardware. Subsequently, the electronics assembly-the ICs,
transistor, diodes, resistors, capacitors transformer, coils,
relays, potentiometers are assembled on PCBs as per design.
The assembled PCBs are tested for performance.
Subsequently the electronics assembly along with electromechanical
assembly, hardware such as connectors/switches, terminals
display, meters are assembled and housed in a metallic / fibre
/ plastic case with an appealing front panel. Finally the
assembled unit is calibrated and tested as per the design
specification.

Pollution Control
The Govt. accords utmost importance to
control environmental pollution. The small-scale entrepreneurs
should have an environmental friendly attitude and adopt pollution
control measures by process modification and technology substitution.
India having acceded to the Montreal Protocol
in Sept. 1992, the production and use of Ozone Depleting Substances
(ODS) like Chlorofluoro Carbon (CFC), Carbon Tetrachloride,
Halons and Methyl Chloroform etc. need to be phased out immediately
with alternative chemicals/solvents. A notification for detailed
Rules to regulate ODS phase out under the Environment Protection
Act, 1986 have been put in place with effect from 19th July
2000.
The following steps are suggested which
may help to control pollution in electronics industry wherever
applicable:
(i) In electronic industry fumes and gases
are released during hand soldering / wave soldering/Dip soldering,
which are harmful to people as well as environment and the
end products. Alternate technologies may be used to phase
out the existing polluting technologies. Numerous new fluxes
have been developed containing 2-10% solids as opposed to
the traditional 15-35% solids.
(ii) Electronic industry uses CFC, Carbon Tetrachloride and
Methyl Chloroform for cleaning of printed circuit boards after
assembly to remove flux residues left after soldering, and
various kinds of foams for packaging.
Many alternative solvents could replace
CFC-113 and Methyl Chloroform in electronics cleaning. Other
Chlorinated solvents such as Trichloroethylene, Perchloroethylene
and Methylene Chloride have been used as effective cleaners
in electronics industry for many years. Other organic solvents
such as Ketones and Alcohols are effective in removing both
solder fluxes and many polar contaminants.
Energy Conservation
With the growing energy needs and shortage
coupled with rising energy cost, a greater thrust in energy
efficiency in industrial sector has been given by the Govt.
of India since 1980s. The Energy Conservation Act, 2001 has
been enacted on 18th August 2001, which provides for efficient
use of energy, its conservation and capacity building of Bureau
of Energy Efficiency created under the Act.
The following steps may help for conservation
of electrical energy:
i) Adoption of energy conserving technologies, production
aids and testing facilities.
ii) Efficient management of process/manufacturing machineries
and systems, QC and testing equipments for yielding maximum
Energy Conservation.
iii) Optimum use of electrical energy for heating during soldering
process can be obtained by using efficient temperature controlled
soldering and desoldering stations.
iv) Periodical maintenance of motors, compressors etc.
v) Use of power factor correction capacitors. Proper selection
and layout of lighting system; timely
switching on-off of the lights; use of compact fluorescent
lamps wherever possible etc.

Additional Information
(a) The Project Profile may be modified/tailored
to suit the individual entrepreneurship qualities/capacity,
production programme and also to suit the locational characteristics,
wherever applicable.
(b) The Electronics Technology is undergoing rapid strides
of change and there is need for regular monitoring of the
national and international technology scenario. The unit may,
therefore, keep abreast with the new technologies in order
to keep them in pace with the developments for global competition.
(c) Quality today is not only confined to the product or service
alone. It also extends to the process and environment in which
they are generated. The ISO 9000 defines standards for Quality
Management Systems and ISO 14001 defines standards for Environmental
Management System for acceptability at international level.
The unit may therefore adopt these standards for global competition.
(d) The margin money recommended is 25% of the working capital
requirement at an average. However, the percentage of margin
money may vary as per bank's discretion.
