PV-COM reads the weight from your RS-232, USB, or HID scale and inserts it directly into your MySQL database with date, time, and any fields you need. No programming, no scripts, no manual intervention. PV-COM® is also known as PVCOM or PV COM.
The technology behind it
PV-COM acts as a direct bridge between the scale and your database. It reads the weight, waits for stability, and executes the INSERT automatically.
Stability filter: PV-COM doesn't save just any reading — it waits until the scale's indicator confirms the weight is stable before running the INSERT. This ensures MySQL only holds real weighing records, not transient or in-motion values. The stability threshold is configurable.
MySQL features
PV-COM has specific options to manage how and when data is saved to MySQL.
Every time the scale stabilizes a weight, PV-COM automatically runs an INSERT into your MySQL table. No buttons, no manual confirmations, no operator intervention.
Automatic · Real timeEvery record includes the exact date and time of the weighing using MySQL's NOW(). Never lose track of when each product or batch was weighed.
NOW() · Date · TimeYou define the name of your table and which columns PV-COM uses. You can integrate it into an existing table in your database without creating a new one.
Existing table · Custom fieldsPV-COM connects to MySQL on localhost, on a local network (LAN), on a remote server, or in the cloud (AWS RDS, Google Cloud SQL, DigitalOcean, etc.).
Local · LAN · CloudSave weighings in continuous mode (every X seconds) or only when a significant weight change is detected. Ideal for process-control scales or batch control.
Continuous · Event-basedIn addition to MySQL, PV-COM is compatible with MariaDB, the most popular open-source alternative and the one used by many shared hosting servers.
MySQL · MariaDBData structure
Configure which columns to include in your table based on your business needs. You can use all the fields or only the ones you need.
Do you already have a table? No problem. PV-COM can integrate with a table that already exists in your database. During remote installation, our technician maps PV-COM's fields to your existing table's columns. You don't need to create a new table if you already have a data structure.
Use cases
A complete historical record of weighings opens up possibilities that manual data entry could never offer.
Record the weight of each batch produced with a timestamp. Check at any time how much was produced, when, and who weighed it.
Save the weight of every package or box shipped. Generate load reports by date, customer, or destination directly from MySQL.
Every incoming material is recorded with weight, date, and supplier. Simplifies settlement and inventory control of recycled material.
Record the weight of each animal or batch in your database. Cross-reference the data with growth, feeding, or sales tables.
Generate automatic weighing reports for ISO, HACCP, or GMP audits. MySQL makes it easy to export to Excel, PDF, or quality systems.
If you have your own software or custom ERP, PV-COM populates the weighing table and your software queries it with a SELECT whenever it needs the data.

Technical guide
With PV-COM configured with your MySQL server details, every stable weighing automatically executes an INSERT into the configured table. The record includes the weight, date, time, and any additional fields you've defined. No programming or manual intervention from the operator is required.
A scale datalogger with MySQL is a system that automatically records every weighing to a database with a timestamp. PV-COM works as a datalogger: it reads the weight from an RS-232 or USB scale and inserts it into MySQL with date, time, and configurable fields, creating a complete, queryable history of weighings.
To connect an RS-232 scale to a MySQL database you need middleware like PV-COM that reads the scale's serial data stream, extracts the weight value, and executes the INSERT into the database. PV-COM does this automatically without the need for custom programming.
Yes. PVCOM, PV COM, and PV-COM® are the same software from Mavin Colombia SAS. The official name is PV-COM®, but many users search for it as PVCOM or PV COM without the hyphen. If you searched for "PVCOM scale" or "PV COM software," you've come to the right place.
A lifetime license. Remote installation included. 1 year of support.
