What Are Industrial Scale Solutions? The Automation Advantage for Modern Operations

From production floors to logistics hubs, Brechbuhler Engineered Solutions designs and integrates weighing systems that do more than measure weight — they move your business forward.

Understanding Industrial Scale Solutions

Industrial Scale Solutions are custom-engineered weighing systems designed to meet the complex needs of today’s automated environments. Unlike standard scales, which provide basic measurements, these systems are built to work seamlessly within your industrial process — ensuring precision, speed, and integration from start to finish.

At Brechbuhler, we design, build, and integrate scale systems that connect directly to your ERP, PLC, or automation platform, turning what was once a manual task into a reliable, real-time data source that drives efficiency across operations.

In short: Industrial Scale Solutions combine accuracy, automation, and durability to keep production lines efficient and decision-making precise.

How Automation Changes the Role of Weighing Systems

Traditional scales were standalone devices. Today’s industrial operations demand more — automated control, continuous data capture, and integration into digital workflows. Brechbuhler’s engineered systems bring those capabilities together.

Our Industrial Scale Solutions are purpose-built to:

• Automate repetitive weighing processes like batching, filling, or checkweighing.
• Integrate directly with ERP or PLC systems for real-time process control.
• Capture and log weight data to improve traceability and compliance.
• Reduce downtime with durable, application-specific designs.

Automation isn’t just a convenience — it’s a competitive advantage. By linking precision weighing into process control, manufacturers and logistics providers eliminate manual steps, reduce human error, and increase throughput.

Examples of Industrial Scale Solutions in Action

Brechbuhler’s engineered weighing systems are built around your process. Each solution is custom-configured for accuracy, environment, and integration requirements.

Conveyor and In-Motion Checkweighers

• Designed for high-speed environments, these systems automatically weigh products on a moving line and reject out-of-spec items — without slowing production. Perfect for packaging, logistics, and food processing lines that require precision at scale.

Batching and Filling Systems

• Automated batching and filling solutions ensure consistent material mixes and dosing accuracy. Integrated with PLC control, they improve efficiency, reduce waste, and maintain product uniformity in chemical, food, and manufacturing processes.

Floor and Bench Scales

• Durable and versatile, these systems integrate into manual and semi-automated workflows, providing reliable measurements in harsh industrial settings.

Truck and Rail Scales

• Critical for logistics and freight compliance, our truck and rail solutions feature advanced digital integration and remote data tracking for efficient loadout management.

Industries That Benefit from Integrated Weighing Systems

Brechbuhler’s Industrial Scale Solutions are at work across a range of industries:

• Manufacturing – Batching, mixing, and inventory control systems.
• Food & Beverage – Hygienic and washdown designs for compliance and safety.
• Logistics & Warehousing – Automated in-motion weighing for shipment accuracy.
• Transportation – Truck and rail solutions for DOT compliance.
• Agriculture – Custom systems for livestock, feed, and grain applications.
• Chemicals & Pharma – Intrinsically safe systems for hazardous or clean environments.

Each system is backed by Brechbuhler’s 100+ years of engineering expertise — ensuring performance that meets both operational and regulatory demands.

Why Industrial Scale Solutions Matter

Industrial operations depend on accuracy and efficiency. When those two elements align, you gain measurable benefits:

• Enhanced Accuracy: Reduce waste, rework, and costly errors.
