Solution

  • First, You need to contact the developers of the Mettler toledo IND780 device and confirm with them, whether this product can interact with any Web application or not. As other community member already informed you that this kind of devices can not be accessible from any web app.

    I try to visit their site and I find that this product can work like below.

    Reference:

    They can give you the proper idea or any example to interact with this device.

    If they deny you that this device cannot work with Web app then try to store the data from that device to any Excel file and then try to import the data from that Excel file to your web app may help you to solve the issue.
