With processing capacities continually on the increase, the need for accurate weighing in a split second is crucial. Weight is an important basis for quality grading and high weighing accuracy leads to a lower giveaway.

Weight information can be combined with automatic vision-based quality assessment (see IRIS). Every whole product is ‘tagged’ with this quality information and can be followed downstream, to determine its optimum allocation according to specification, like the selection of A-quality calibrated whole products, or a cut-up or deboning system.
