Systems and methods for weighing and charging

摘要

Systems and methods for weighing and charging components of a product using a radio-frequency order picking and inventory control system (ROPICS) are disclosed. A system according to the invention can include a server computer having a back-end database for storing inventory data, a client computer that is communicatively coupled to the server computer via a communications network, and a scale for providing to the client computer a weight signal that represents an actual weight of a component on the scale. The server computer includes a data queue for receiving and managing database transaction requests in real-time, and a transaction server for receiving the database transaction requests from the data queue and for interfacing with back-end database to process the received database transaction requests in real-time.
