Company Profile
CompuWeigh is a U.S.-based technology and equipment provider with a long-standing history dating to 1978, when it introduced the first computerized legal-for-trade bulkweighing system for the grain industry. Since then, CompuWeigh has maintained its position as a dominant player in scale control for the grain sector, supplying more than 60% of all bulkweighing control systems in the United States. The company has expanded its portfolio to include a comprehensive range of bulk weighing hoppers sized from 0.5 to 3,500 tons per hour, reflecting a growth from its foundational weighing systems to scalable, high-capacity solutions. Central to CompuWeigh’s offerings is the Grain Management System (GMS), a Windows-based data management platform that integrates weighing, grading, and inventory management with customers’ accounting systems, enabling end-to-end visibility and control of grain operations. The Automation Division focuses on automating grain, feed, and fertilizer facilities through PLCs and HMI systems, with notable components such as SmartGate, SmartWatch, SmartHub, SmartPage, SmartTouch, and SmartTime, which provide integrated, cost-effective control and monitoring capabilities. SmartTouch, for instance, is a data collection terminal designed for drivers to process transactions and address FSMA compliance questions, often with a built-in web camera to associate driver images with transaction records. SmartTime supports RF tag scanning to record truck entry times, feeding real-time data into iGMS for wait-time calculations. Since its early innovations, CompuWeigh has continued to introduce web-based and integrated solutions, including iGMS, introduced in 2014 as a browser-based system for weighing and grading trucks, rail cars, and barges, designed to run on low-powered computers and eliminate expensive hardware. The company has also delivered automatic blending for inventory using non-linear programming to optimize profitability when blending from multiple bins and has introduced multiple-scale control to synchronize several bulk weigh scales on a single order. Over the years, CompuWeigh added features such as automatic self-diagnostics of SmartTruck (SmartTech), SmartLane routing trucks to the shortest dump pit in real time, and a web-based logistics system to provide real-time rail car and barge locations. These innovations are complemented by industry-grade data management and integration capabilities, including SmartHub for cross-facility integration with back-end accounting or ERP systems, and SmartPage for automated notifications at the facility. The company’s roadmap emphasizes continued expansion of its iGMS ecosystem, continued development of gateway and integration solutions, and ongoing enhancement of data-driven decision-making tools for grain handling and processing. CompuWeigh positions itself as a technology-driven partner for grain facilities seeking to improve operational efficiency, accuracy, and regulatory compliance through integrated weighing, data management, and automation technologies.
