Drum Scales and Its Industrial Uses as Weighing Equipment
Whether you’re in the chemical or powder processing industries, you’ve probably run into a situation where you need to keep all of your drums properly weighed. Taking the tare weight, to begin with, can be very important in these situations. Once you have an accurate measure of the weight of the drum itself, you’ll be … Continued
Weighing Scales for Universities and Laboratories
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
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
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
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
