Peninsula Scale also develops customized weighing solutions for niche industries that are underserved. One key example of this type of development and engineering iteration is Harvest Scale Systems. We listened to some key growers and farm labor contractors to continually build features into the hardware and software solution to ensure a very robust and reliable system was developed specifically for harvesting specialty fruits & vegetables like blueberries, cherries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, grapes, mushrooms & tomatoes.
The system designed for blueberries is completely integrated with:
- Battery that will run for 16 hours
- NOCO charger that will top it off in 4-6 hours after plugging in a simple extension chord
- 100 pound capacity scale base
- 2D barcode scanner
- Thermal or Impact ticket printer
- USB data output standard and optional cellular module for real time data
- Durable impact resistant Pelican Hardigg case to protect it from conditions in the field
We have other configurations available for cherries and mushrooms as the form factor for harvesting those crops are a bit different.
We do also offer a handheld scanner solution that works with our online web based software. This can be used to count the number of flats of fruit that have been collected and seamlessly merge this data with the pounds picked at other locations and check against the piece-rate Vs. Hourly to ensure minimum wage requirements have been satisfied.
Call us today and we can configure a system for your harvesting needs or work with you on the next niche weighing application!
