Manufacturing

Where a weight has to trigger, count, or verify something.

On a manufacturing floor the weight is rarely the deliverable — it is the means of knowing something. How many parts are in the bin. Whether the box is filled to target. Whether the barcode on the carton matches the barcode on the label. We build the system that turns the weighment into that answer, and records it.

Component counting and kitting by weight, networked to inventory
Automated fill-to-target for boxes, bags, drums, and containers
Checkweigher integration with pass/fail banding and reject
Barcode validation with scanners, photo eyes, and logic controllers
Data collection to ERP, MES, AS400, and SQL Server
Robotic and packaging-machine cells built around the weighment

Meat, poultry & seafood processing

Where the weight is the product and the label has to be right.

In a processing plant the weight is what you sell and what you are paid on, and the label is the document that proves it. A mismatch is not an inconvenience, it is a chargeback. We build the weighing and labeling stations, and PPS — our processing software product — runs the traceability, yields, and order flow on top of them.

Catch weight capture at the point of pack
GS1 case labels, customer-specific formats, and skid master labels
Lot and serial traceability from receipt through shipment
Pay-by-weight data collection with employee identification
Scale carts, harvest stations, and washdown enclosures

Processing plants run on PPS — Provision Processing System, Progressive Scale's software product. It has its own site. provisionprocessingsystem.com ↗

Either floor

The parts that do not change.

The weight gets recorded

Every transaction into SQL Server, AS400, QuickBooks, or your MES — with reporting on top, not a display someone writes down.

The label matches the weight

Printing driven by the scale transaction itself, so the document and the weighment cannot drift apart.

Someone services it

Calibration, repair, and 24/7 technician consultation from the team that built it.
