Agriculture and Farming

Weighing plays an important role in the agricultural and arable farming products industry. Whether tracking arable yields or trading in raw agricultural produce such as wheat, rice, lentils/pulses, sugar-cane, tea or spices, weighing is critical to your bottom line. 

Weighing technology is extremely vital to the efficiency and profitability of any agricultural operation. Correct weighing of produce is necessary both for the buying and selling of produce, monitoring yields, measuring and monitoring moisture content and analysing the data required for future planting decisions.

We provide a range of scales suitable for fruit picking, from platform and floor scales for use in large-scale fruit-picking operations or packing and distribution centres, to checkweighers and washdown scales which can be used to verify the weight of hand-picked fruit.

Platform scales, weighbridges and other scales from Avery Weigh-Tronix are tough enough to perform efficiently in the farming industry and collect this vital information accurately at every step of the way without slowing down your operation.

Weighing scales and systems from Avery Weigh-Tronix can help ensure accurate weight and traceability compliance without slowing down your animal farming operation.

Achieve operational efficiency by using highly accurate weighing equipment to reducing feed waste, feeding correct volumes and tracking costs.  Correct rations maximise milk production in dairy cattle and increase the rate of gain in feeder cattle while improving herd health and ensuring more effective inventory management.

Weighing systems from Avery Weigh-Tronix provide the platform you need to make better management decisions based on accurate, timely information.

Our range of scales are rugged, reliable and easy to clean, allowing the highest levels of hygiene.  They can help monitor incoming raw ingredients or ensure precise recipe formulation with bulk materials.

Increased site efficiency using unmanned weighbridges

Many large sites deal with a high volume of vehicles entering and leaving the site. It is vital that vehicles are weighed and processed fast to keep the site operating efficiently and to avoid a build up of traffic. Unmanned Weighbridges and traffic management systems can quickly record a vehicle registration number, its tare weight, driving license details and operator name and address, as well as how long vehicles are spending on site.

As well as increasing efficiency and potentially extending operational opening hours without incurring additional manpower costs, using software, RFID (radio frequency identification) and video footage to track vehicles provides users with an additional level of security, acting as a funnel which provides important data about who and what is entering and leaving the site.
