FAQ
What are Industrial Scale Solutions?
Industrial Scale Solutions are custom-engineered weighing systems designed to go beyond basic weight measurements. These systems integrate into your operations, enabling automation, real-time data capture, and seamless control through ERP or PLC systems.
How are these different from standard scales?
They integrate directly with ERP/PLC systems and control tasks like inline bagging, check weighing, batching, and inventory management in real time.
What types of scale systems do you offer?
We offer a full range of solutions including:
- In-motion checkweighers
- Inline bagger systems
- Inline layering systems
- Batching and filling systems
- Truck, rail, bench, and floor scales
- Tank/silo integrations
Can Brechbuhler integrate with my existing ERP or PLC?
Yes. Integration is at the core of what we do. Our systems are designed to communicate with platforms like SAP, Rockwell, Siemens, and custom setups for real-time performance, tracking, and automation.
Do you offer custom designs?
Yes. Every facility, workflow, and compliance requirement is different. Each system we deliver is engineered to fit your exact specifications from physical footprint and environment to data requirements and throughput.
What industries benefit from these systems?
Our solutions are trusted in:
- Manufacturing for precision batching and part verification
- Food and Beverage for hygienic, washdown-ready equipment
- Agriculture for feed, grain, and livestock applications
- Logistics and Warehousing for shipping, inventory, and order accuracy
- Transportation for DOT-compliant truck and rail scale systems
What is an in-motion checkweigher?
An in-motion checkweigher is a high-speed scale installed along a conveyor line. It automatically weighs each product without stopping the flow and can reject any item that falls outside of acceptable tolerances, supporting quality control without slowing production.
How do I know if I need a custom solution?
If you manage high-volume materials, manual weighing tasks, or need integration with ERP or PLC systems, a custom solution can drive efficiency and control. A brief consultation with our engineers can help you assess what is possible.
