Weight is an essential physical property in a variety of measurement processes. It allows portion sizes to be determined and can also be used in identifying other parameters such as density, volume, pressure, and more. Industrial weighing solutions and tools are, therefore, considered to be one of the most crucial elements in a multitude of industrial processes.
Industrial weighing solutions must use the appropriate type of scale to determine the weight of an object in a way that meets the needs of the specific application or industry. There are myriad weighing solutions available, each capable of obtaining weight measurements in a unique way. The choice of weighing solution ultimately depends on a number of factors, including:
Each weighing solution also possesses a unique set of design innovations and features that may make it better suited for specific applications, including:
From the monitoring of materials in silos to determining the weight of vehicles on the move, industrial weighing solutions must be carefully selected and tailored to meet the needs of the intended usage.
Having the appropriate weighing solution—especially in industries that handle raw materials—is essential. Accurate weights provide a means of keeping supplies organized by weight-based parameters, contributing to overall operational efficiency through a logical and systematic workspace. This is especially valuable in the handling of materials where item counting is not feasible or possible.
Industrial weighing scales are not a one size fits all solution. At Garber Metrology, we offer a broad range of solutions for obtaining accurate weights in a variety of applications.

Weighing solutions can be used in countless applications. Some of the most common uses of industrial scales include, but are not limited to:
BATCHING:
Used with various controllers to regulate material transfer and enhance batch quality and profits.
COUNTING:
Weighing solutions are ideal for inventory and confirming product quantities. This is especially valuable in applications where it is not practical to manually count items.
FILLING/DOSING:
Efficient weighing solutions can assist in the accurate filling of containers, drums, and vials with repeatable precision.
FORMULATION:
Accurate weighing is essential in applications where raw materials need to be mixed in precise proportions.
SIMPLE WEIGHING:
Often a fast and accurate weight measurement is required immediately. The packaging and warehouse industries often use simple weighing solutions to determine the cost of package storage and shipment.
EQUIPMENT CALIBRATION:
Weighing can also be used for traceable calibration in equipment, such as devices used for volumetric dispensing.
