Core Technology - Hardy Process Toolbox

The Hardy Process Toolbox is a set of productivity tools that support industrial weighing functions. Each tool saves you time, increases accuracy, improves efficiency or reduces risk in process weighing applications, including WAVERSAVER® to eliminate vibration, C2® electronic calibration and Integrated Technician® to name just a few.

Hardy Process Toolbox

Weightless Calibrations - C2

C2® Electronic Calibration

The Hardy C2® core feature provides quick and easy electronic calibration of a weighing system without the need for heavy test weights.

Vibration Eliminator - WAVERSAVER

Hardy's WAVERSAVER core technology eliminates the effects that surrounding vibration has on the scale weight signal, providing only true data for fast, accurate weight reading.

Operator Diagnostics - IT

INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN®

Hardy's INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN (IT) core feature helps you troubleshoot your weighing system and diagnose problems from the front of the instrument or via the PLC.

Remote Access/Setup - WEBSERVER

Embedded Web Server

Access your instrument from any computer browser. Use the embedded web server to set up all parameters from anywhere on the Ethernet network.

Secure Configuration – SMM

Secure Memory Module

Hardy's Secure Memory Module (SMM) uses a standard SD card or USB stick to automatically back up critical weighing system data, allowing you to transfer it to another like weighing instruyment in just a few minutes. You can also use the card to easily back up your weighing configuration data onto a PC.

Noise Suppression - WAVERSAVER+

WAVERSAVER+ is a patent pending adaptive algorithm that selects from a bank of 7 noise filters, and uses the optimum mix to provide a stable weight under static conditions.

WAVERSAVER+ filters both external and internal noise under a static weight condition to go beyond the 1 in 10,000 limitation, providing repeatable weighing results the first time and every time.

Realtime Feed Mgmt - FEED-MASTER

In the real world, process manufacturing conditions do not stay constant from one feed to the next feed. Flow rates vary due to levels in vessels, material consistency, flow characteristics of materials, and environmental conditions.

Hardy's proprietary FEED-MASTER predictive/adaptive algorithm adapts for the flow variation in real time. This method is typically called “feed rate control”.

The algorithms we use first capture the current Rate of Change (ROC), the value based on the current flow. Then a second algorithm predicts the change needed to the current feed based on real time flow rate changes monitored during the feed.

The smart algorithms adapt to requirements, such as using less severe multispeed feed control (speeding up feed times). In some cases, a higher feed rate can deliver exceptionally accurate feed results and at the same time deliver optimized material feed and batch cycle times.

Static Check Weighing Mgmt – CHECK-MASTER

A manual (static) check weighing operation requires an operator, or a mechanically automated piece of equipment, to place the item on a scale and observe Under/Accept/Over lights. CHECK-MASTER is a set of software tools that support check weighing functions and are part of every Hardy Check Weighing solution.

Dynamic Check Weighing Mgmt – CHECK-MASTER

A fully automated Check Weighing system is designed to weigh items automatically in-motion. The check weight controller then directs downstream diverter gates to route product based on weight. Automated control is done by a host computers (PC), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC) or Distributed Control Systems (DCS) communicating with the Hardy check weighing front-end.

CHECK-MASTER is a set of software tools that support check weighing functions and are part of every Hardy Check Weighing solution.
