📊 What Is an Electronic Weight Indicator? And Why Dual Channel Indicators Like the Solo G2 Matter
Whether you're managing chemical inventory in a water treatment facility or monitoring tank levels in an industrial setting, accuracy matters. That's where an electronic weight indicator comes in.
These devices provide real-time digital weight readings from platform scales or load cells, helping you track the contents of chemical tanks, drums, and containers with precision and confidence.
✅ What Is an Electronic Weight Indicator?
An electronic weight indicator is a digital display unit that connects to a scale or load cell system to show the weight of a container, tank, or vessel. Unlike mechanical dials, these indicators offer more advanced features like:
- Digital weight readouts (lb, kg, or custom units)
- Signal outputs for SCADA or PLC integration
- Multiple channel input options for monitoring more than one tank
- Alarm settings and data logging in some models
They are used in industries such as water treatment, chemical processing, food production, and agriculture to ensure accurate dosing, safe chemical usage, and reliable inventory tracking.
