Digital Weighing Technology in the Food Industry
Digital strain gauge based load cells are more rugged, more durable and cheaper than load cells based on electromagnetic force compensation (EFC).They ensure greater productivity for almost any application in the food industry.
By digitizing manufacturing processes, the Industrial Internet of Things can lead to great efficiency and productivity gains in the food and packaging industries. Digital weighing technology in particular offers enormous potential for determining filling quantities quickly and precisely, which can lead to major savings – several million Euros annually in some cases – as demonstrated by the example of a coconut milk producer in Shanghai. Previous analog weighing technology can also be digitized easily and reliably using transducer electronics and integrated on a single platform.
