SKALA Mobile by METER, an application available from the Apple App Store, will need to be
downloaded onto the iPad. The app is used to register a new customer site, create products
and batches, and operate the equipment. Everything that is created in SKALA Mobile is
stored in the SKALA Control cloud service.
SKALA Control is a cloud-based software program where data can be analyzed and
downloaded and where more advanced settings can be made. SKALA Control stores all
historic readings, displays readings in charts, modifies customer site settings and users,
modifies existing tests, plus much more.
Freemium version. The first time a customer site is set up, there is no charge for the use of
basic features available in the SKALA Mobile app (referred to as Freemium). In the Freemium
version, only water activity features are available.
