Our services

Digital indicators for weighing systems

We offer weighing indicators and digital displays for weighing and dosing technology from Laumas. They ensure accurate and reliable weight measurement in various applications such as system control or food production.

Weighing indicators are devices that are used in conjunction with scales to measure and display the weight of objects or substances. They are an essential component of weighing systems. The main function of a weighing indicator is to record and display the weight placed on the scale. Laumas weighing indicators have additional functions such as data logging, statistical functions, communication interfaces for connection to computer systems or networks and programmable settings for specific application requirements. For use in industrial environments, many weighing indicators have robust designs that can withstand dust, moisture and other environmental influences.

Feel free to contact our engineers.

How we select the right automation technology for you

There are some important aspects to consider when selecting the right components for digital signal processing, in addition to the standards already mentioned such as OIML, ATEX, IECEx, EAC, NTEP and UL. Here are some other important considerations:

  • Signal processing requirements: first, the specific signal processing requirements, including the required data rate, resolution, accuracy and dynamic range must be clarified.
  • Compatibility and interoperability: Ensure that the selected components are compatible with other systems and devices in your system or network, especially when it comes to data exchange over different communication protocols.
  • Performance and scalability: Consider the performance and scalability of the selected components to ensure that they can meet the requirements of your system and expand as needed.
  • Reliability and robustness: Select components that are robust and reliable, especially if they are to be used in environments with extreme conditions such as high temperatures, humidity or vibrations.
  • Cost: Consider the cost of the selected components, including acquisition, implementation and operating costs, as well as potential savings from improved performance or reliability.
  • Security: Consider security aspects such as data security, access control and privacy, especially if the signal processing components handle sensitive or confidential information.
  • Future-proofing and technology trends: Consider future developments and trends in signal processing technology to ensure that the selected components remain relevant and compatible in the long term.

Considering these aspects can ensure that you select the right components for your digital signal processing application, that they meet your requirements and can be seamlessly integrated into your system. Need help with your selection? Get in touch with us!
