Arlyn Scales designs and builds industrial weighing systems engineered for these conditions. Each model; … Continued

Scales for Electronics and Electrical Equipment Manufacturers

By Kevin Cook

Precision Scales for Electronics Production and Component Inventory In electronics manufacturing, weight accuracy defines efficiency. A small deviation in component counts, solder material, or wire harness weight can slow production and create costly errors. Arlyn Scales builds industrial weighing systems that remove these variables. Our Ultra Precision SAW and stainless-steel platforms provide resolution up to … Continued

Automotive Scales

By Kevin Cook

Industrial Scales for the Automotive Industry The automotive industry is an important industry that is constantly on the move. From receiving daily shipments to maintaining quality factory production to the very products and items that it manufactures and distributes, every aspect of the automotive industry is one of movement. Another aspect of the automotive industry … Continued

Industrial Uses for Drum Scales

By Kevin Cook

     Industrial drum scales measure drums, barrels, pails and related containers without requiring the material to be transferred to a separate weighing vessel. They can show the combined gross weight, subtract a known container tare and display the net weight of the material inside. Facilities use drum scales for inventory control, filling, dispensing, formulation, … Continued

Weighing Scales for Universities and Laboratories

By Kevin Cook

Our society reaps the benefits from the in-depth research that is undertaken in the university setting. Without some of the financial stress and the pressures of time constraints, university research funding goes a long way. Some of the brightest minds are in the process of discovering cures for diseases that were heretofore untreatable. The team … Continued

Food Processing & Production Scales

By Arnold Gordon

In food manufacturing, precision is the backbone of safety, compliance, and profitability. Every ingredient must be measured accurately to maintain flavor consistency, meet FDA/USDA regulations, and avoid costly waste. That’s why food producers need more than just a basic scale. Arlyn Scales designs and manufactures industrial weighing systems built for the unique demands of food … Continued

Distillery, Brewing & Spirits Scales

By Arnold Gordon

Using digital scales is crucial for accurate measurements in the brewing and distilling processes, ensuring precision in weight and volume for optimal results. Precise and Safe Weighing Equipment for Weighing Bottles in Distilleries One of the critical pieces of equipment used in a distillery is a digital scale. Digital scales are essential for precise weighing, … Continued

PROFINET and PLC Integration for Automated Batching and Process Control

By Arnold Gordon

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

By Arnold Gordon

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

By Arnold Gordon

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

By Arnold Gordon

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
