Simple Solutions to Achieve Compliance

The hygienic floor scales fixed so many issues! We no longer have to calibrate every day, cleaning is a breeze, and we have budgeted for additional units.

The Challenge

In this example, the customer's existing floor scale posed several challenges. Its large size, coupled with a bulky ramp, made it almost impossible to clean fully. Moreover, the scale was unable to withstand the harsh working conditions and required daily calibration due to a lack of repeatability. This posed significant compliance issues in regulated environments, as daily calibrations were time-consuming and did not achieve accuracy. As a result, downstream facilities frequently struggled with shipment weights that did not match waybills. These errors disrupted workflows and hurt productivity across the entire production chain.

The Solution

By implementing hygienic ultra-low profile floor scales with lift frames, the manufacturers were able to achieve pinpoint accuracy. Compared to traditional models, due to a fully sealed bottom plate and a unique lift functionality, the hygienic floor scales facilitated thorough cleaning. Hermetically sealed load cells further defended against water ingress, while factory calibration provided seamless installation. Moreover, the scales served as a smart weighing solution, offering multiple connectivity options for real-time data transfer. This complete traceability empowered optimized workflow management and provided the accuracy needed for efficient and complete delivery of materials. Ultimately, these floor scales with hygienic lift frames emerged as a reliable and efficient weighing solution for hygiene-critical industries like biotech, chem, and pharma.

The Result

The hygienically designed floor scales were seamlessly integrated into the customer's operations, slashing annual calibration costs while eliminating ingredient mismeasurement at sister sites. This precision boosted productivity and quality control. Full process traceability brought peace of mind, replacing uncertainty with the confidence of knowing exactly what materials were where. The cleaning and maintenance process was a breeze for the operators. With the big tangible benefits, the customer placed an order for several additional scales, further achieving accuracy, productivity, traceability, and safety. Most importantly, they no longer worried about meeting regulations because the scales exceeded them.
