How Automated Weighing Systems Cut Errors on the Production Floor

Automated weighing systems are one of the most effective ways to cut errors on a busy production floor. A miscalibrated scale or a missed batch reading doesn’t stay a small problem for long. It shows up as a compliance flag, a customer dispute over a shipment weight, or a production line that has to stop…

Replacing a Legacy Mettler Toledo Batching System with a B-TEK Solution

A batching system replacement is often the most cost-effective path forward once an aging control platform starts to fail. An aging Mettler Toledo or Rice Lake batching system tends to fail in the same predictable ways: unreliable performance, no support from the original manufacturer, and rising maintenance costs as parts get harder to find. That…

Fort Wayne Team Installs In-Motion Check-Weigher System

Our Fort Wayne branch recently completed the first of two automated in-motion check-weigher installations for a customer’s production line. Unlike a static scale, an in-motion check-weigher captures accurate product weights while items move along a conveyor or process line, which avoids the production slowdown of stopping to weigh each item and gives real-time data for…
