New in 2023: KERN PREMIUM LINE
Integration-capable (IoT ready) scales with high-end performance - the answer to current and future digitalization requirements. For us, IoT-ready means that these models can be easily and flexibly integrated into the existing network of your hospital, practice or care facility:
Our KERN Premium Line models already ensure your future viability. Thanks to the built-in WLAN interface (factory option for KERN MBA), these models can be integrated into existing or future EMR and EHR systems and thus into the hospital network. * The KERN Universal Port (KUP) enables great flexibility and customization at interfaces such as e.g. B. RS232, USB, Bluetooth or Ethernet - available without installation effort for all KERN Premium Line models. * No manual data transfer thanks to alibi memory as a factory option (except KERN MBA): storage via the print button or via remote control command: date, time, alibi ID, weight value (net, gross, tare). The data can be retrieved via remote control commands or exported to Excel. Documentation or transmission errors are thus excluded and processes are accelerated. * There are no additional costs, since neither software nor a maintenance contract are necessary. The scales can be integrated by the user himself. A uniform operating philosophy simplifies the handling of different products, since the menu structure is uniform across all models. * Thanks to the standard power pack, optional rechargeable battery (except KERN MBA) or battery operation, the user is not tied to one location. All KERN Premium Line models are marked with the IoT-ready symbol.
With KERN you are ready for the future of weighing in the Internet of Things. Make yourself IoT-ready - with the Premium Line models.
*KERN MBA is an exception
