PROFINET and PLC Integration for Automated Batching and Process Control

Automated batching depends on precise, real-time weight feedback, yet many indicators struggle to deliver stable digital data into PROFINET environments. Noise, drift, and slow response times force PLCs to average signals or delay cutoffs, which weakens dosing accuracy and reduces throughput. Select SAW precision platforms address these issues by generating a clean digital signal that … Continued

REST and MODBUS APIs in SAW-Based Precision Systems

Real-time data flow is now the backbone of automated manufacturing, yet most weighing devices still behave like isolated hardware. SAW-based precision systems were designed for a more connected role. Select SAW platforms deliver ultra-stable measurements while supporting modern data interfaces, such as REST API or MODBUS, through configuration-dependent communication paths that integrate with IoT platforms, … Continued

UpScale SAW Precision Indicator with ERP and MES Integration

ERP and MES platforms depend on accurate, timestamped production data, but most weighing indicators were never built to exchange information with enterprise systems. They can display weight locally but often struggle to deliver clean digital data into SAP, Oracle, Plex, Ignition, or custom MES layers, and most are not designed for direct enterprise-level interaction. The … Continued

UpScale SAW Precision Indicator for Industrial IoT and Connectivity

If you’re responsible for keeping a production line accurate, automated, and integrated, the weakest link is often the weighing indicator, not the PLC. Most indicators can display weight; very few can deliver high-resolution, low-noise digital data that your controls network can actually trust. And fewer still can be configured to communicate over MODBUS, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, … Continued

SAW Precision Platforms for Battery and Clean Energy Manufacturing

Battery and clean-energy production depends on accuracy at every stage, from electrode coating to electrolyte filling and final cell formation. Small weighing errors disrupt capacity targets, energy density, thermal behavior, and long-term safety. Most strain-gage systems struggle in these environments because vibration, temperature swings, and long cycle times introduce drift or noise that forces slower … Continued

SAW Ultra-Precision Systems for Micro-Dosing and Formulation

Micro-dosing demands accuracy at levels most industrial sensors cannot maintain. Small deviations influence potency, consistency, blend integrity, and regulatory compliance. Traditional strain-gage systems often drift during long runs or show noise when controlling tiny quantities, which forces teams to slow production or add manual checks. SAW technology solves those issues by generating a stable digital … Continued

IoT-Enabled Intrinsically Safe Scales for Predictive Maintenance

Hazardous-area operations now depend on connected equipment to monitor asset health, reduce downtime, and automate maintenance decisions. Many weighing devices used in these locations still function as isolated instruments, which limits visibility into drift, overload events, and other early warning indicators. Intrinsically safe SAW-based systems solve that issue by delivering stable digital signals that feed … Continued

Printing Package Details Based On Scale Weight Measurements

In a world where efficiency and precision are paramount, businesses focused on packaging and shipping must leverage every available tool to streamline their operations. One crucial aspect of this process is accurately measuring package weight. Using scales to determine package weight not only enhances accuracy in shipping but also allows businesses to print package details … Continued

Low profile heavy duty scales are specifically designed to meet these requirements, providing reliable weighing solutions for industrial waste compactors. This article will explore the benefits of these scales and highlight some key features … Continued

Scales To Use With Lysimeters for Accurate Soil Moisture Measurement

In agricultural research and environmental monitoring, lysimeters are essential tools for measuring soil moisture, evaporation rates, and plant water uptake. To ensure accuracy in these measurements, selecting the right scales is critical. This article will explore the types of scales compatible with lysimeters, their features, and how they contribute to effective data collection. Understanding Lysimeters … Continued

Case Study: Secure Wrap

Challenge Anyone who has traveled by air is familiar with the many pitfalls that may await their luggage. This can include cuts, rips and tears, weather damage, accidental openings, stains and scratches, smuggling, misrouting, and perhaps most common, theft and pilferage. This company has developed a system that will quickly protect against these problems by … Continued

Case Study: New Pacific

Challenge A charter airline needs to weigh all items placed on an aircraft, including passengers and luggage. Each item loaded must be noted as to its location on the aircraft. Scales are placed on the tarmac, near the planes. The weight information then needs to be logged locally on the scale, and then communicated by … Continued
