CHESTER Scale is a modular weighing system with wireless connectivity (NB-IoT/LTE-M/LoRaWAN). It allows the connection of up to 10 scales with different ranges, making it ideal for accurate weight measurement in industrial applications.
Applications: weighing raw materials in production, monitoring inventory weight, tracking goods on pallets, etc.
Multiple scales with one unit
Supports up to 10 scales, each with a different measurement range
Flexible weight measurement
Measures from 0.001 kg precision up to 1000 kg, depending on the scale module
Environmental monitoring
Compatible with 1-wire temperature probes for multi-location sensing
Long battery life
Runs up to 3 years on a single lithium battery, even in extreme conditions
Industrial-grade durability
IP67 enclosure, built for harsh environments
In plastics production, conveyors are often used for granulation, where the granulate is transferred through a pipe directly from the hopper. In this case, a scale can be placed under the hopper and monitored to see precisely how the material in the hopper is decreasing.
In production, it is also possible to weigh crates of products or entire pallets. This makes it possible to identify whether all products are on the pallet or if any are missing. Thanks to continuous measurement, predicting when the pallet is full and needs to be replaced with an empty one is possible. For example, this method is also used when packaging various products with many smaller components.
Another use of the HARDWARIO CHESTER Scale is weighing gas cylinders. Even if the cylinder is heavy, regular measurements can show differences in filling loss. This makes it possible to predict when the cylinder will be empty and must be replaced.
In plastic production, granulate is often transported through pipes directly from a hopper. By placing a scale under the hopper, it’s possible to monitor material usage in real time and detect decreases in volume with precision.
In production, crates or entire pallets can be weighed to verify product count and detect missing items. Continuous weight monitoring also helps predict when a pallet is full and ready for replacement, which is ideal for packaging with many small components.
The CHESTER Scale can be used to monitor the weight of gas cylinders. Even with heavy tanks, regular measurements reveal gradual filling loss, making it possible to predict when a cylinder will be empty and ready for replacement.
Our catalog applications are made to be set up simply and quickly. After you choose your application and get your package, just install CHESTER in the desired location, register it to our cloud and you will get the data to your dashboard that is created based on the selected application.
