A smart load sensor developed in the
UK by Sensor Technology allows
weighing processes to be integrated
with handling operations.

LoadSense can be integrated with
a crane hook, forklift or other
handling device. It has an on-board
single-chip
computer
for
recording,
analysing
and
archiving
readings,
and wireless communication
capability which can transfer data in
real time to a host computer. It is
built around an intelligent load
sensor, handheld display and receiver.

The company’s Tony Ingham says:
“Our main markets are materials
handling and warehouse operations
where the intelligence will convert
raw data into instant stock counts.
