Learn how new scale technologies help eliminate costly unplanned downtime

Moving bulk goods or raw materials into or out of a processing facility effectively is critical to productivity. Unplanned truck scale downtime can impact the total product output of a processing plant and threaten profit margins. Newer scale technologies, such as a fully digital vehicle scale equipped with microprocessor-based digital signal processing technology can add value in many different ways.

This white paper provides design considerations that help eliminate unplanned downtime. Benefits addressed include

  • How self-monitoring load cell networks help to make sure in-plant gains are not made in vain
  • Hermetically sealed load cells, junction-box elimination, and lightning strike protection
  • Hints on how to increase vehicle scale reliability and lower overall maintenance costs
