The iACWeigh™ The Intercomp group's most modern software solution, developed specifically for the digitalization and optimization of aircraft weighing and balance processes. This software integrates with Intercomp's airfield weighing systems, ensuring extremely accurate, fast, and reliable data acquisition, which is essential for safe flight operations.
Instead of traditional, manual methods, iACWeigh™ offers an intuitive touchscreen interface that significantly reduces the risk of calculation errors while increasing operational efficiency during ground servicing.
The iACWeigh™ software combines a user-friendly design with compliance with strict aerospace standards.
Real-time Data Acquisition: Direct communication with Intercomp weighing instruments (platform scales, load cell kits), immediate reading of weight data into the system.
Aircraft Database Management: Ability to store and manage configurations for a large number of aircraft types. For each type, standard empty weights, arm lengths (moment arms), and Center of Gravity (CG) limit values can be stored.
Dynamic CG Calculation: The software automatically calculates the position of the Center of Gravity (CG) based on the read axle or wheel weights, taking into account the current fuel and payload distribution.
Interface Compatibility: Seamless cooperation with Intercomp hardware displays, such as the TAC30™ CPU touchscreen display and the RFX® Wireless Handheld Indicator instruments.
Touchscreen Interface: A modern, graphical user interface (GUI) allows for quick navigation and easy data entry.
Compliant Output Reports: The system is capable of generating weight and balance reports that comply with aviation authority requirements.
Error Warnings: Immediate visual and audible warning if the calculated CG falls outside the allowed limits (too far forward or too far aft), thus preventing dangerous loading configurations.
Data Security: The measured data can be securely stored and archived for later auditing purposes.
The flexibility of the iACWeigh™ software enables its wide range of applications in aviation:
For Platform Scales: Ideal for weighing large capacity aircraft (e.g., cargo planes), where ACII™ Aircraft Scale System or high-capacity AC60-LP™ systems are utilized.
For Jack Weigh Kits: Supports AC100™ and the EZ RFX® systems, enabling the precise weighing of wings and main landing gears.
eVTOL Development: Specifically designed for the precise determination of the center of gravity (CG) of new generation electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
Military Applications: Compatible with military specification measurement systems, supporting the weighing of military aircraft.
The performance of the iACWeigh™ software is closely linked to the capabilities of the hardware devices it manages. The following table summarizes the main measurement categories supported by the software and the associated hardware.
| Category | Compatible Hardware Examples | Main Function |
|---|---|---|
| Platform Scales | AC15-LP™, AC40-LP™, AC60-LP™, AC30-60™ | Measurement of the total static weight of the aircraft. |
| Load Cell Kits | Jack Weigh AC100™ Kit, Jack Weigh EZ RFX® Kit | Measurement of the weight of individual points (landing gears, jacking points). |
| Wireless Communication | RFX® Wireless Handheld Indicator, RFX® Wireless AC100™ CPU | Data transmission from the load cells to the software processing unit. |
| Display Units | TAC30™ CPU (Touch Screen Indicator) | Dedicated hardware interface for running the software. |
iACWeigh™ is not just a data collector; it is a complete weighing and balancing system:
Storage of an unlimited number of aircraft types.
Definition of custom „station points” for CG calculation.
Management of preset weights for fuel and cargo types.
Gross Weight: Sum of the weights on all wheels/landing gears.
Axle Load: Checking the load on different axles.
CG Analysis: Determination of the main CG point (Longitudinal CG) based on measured data.
Digital display on the screen.
Printable/savable PDF format weight and balance sheets.
Data export capability (e.g., in CSV format) for external fleet management systems.
In the aerospace industry, precision is not an option, but a requirement. The iACWeigh™ system is designed to meet the highest levels of precision and safety requirements.
Increase Efficiency: Instead of manual note-taking and calculations, iACWeigh™ processes weight data in seconds, drastically reducing ground service time.
Ensure Compliance: The system ensures that every weighing procedure is documented and auditable, supporting internal and external audits.
Maximize Payload: Accurate CG determination allows for the utilization of the maximum safe payload, thus optimizing economic performance.
iACWeigh™ reflects Intercomp's commitment to engineering excellence and user-friendly technology, ensuring that weight and balance calculations become the least risky part of flight operations.
