Load cell manufacturer Flintec has won the contract to create a new type of scanner scale that will be used in in point of sale retail environments all around the world.
Flintec was selected for the contract for its innovation and proven expertise in cutting edge point of sale technology. Its client is one of the biggest providers of enterprise solutions.
Flintec is creating a custom load cell for the new scanner scale that will be at the heart of the new weighing solution that it is supplying.
Flintec beat off tough competition to win the contract. The company showed a very high commitment to quality. Its hi-tech manufacturing facilities are accredited with the ISO9001 and ISO13485 quality standards.
VCAP approval for Flintec’s extensive line of NTEP-approved load cells was also deemed to be crucial for the application.
VCAP (Verified Conformity Assessment Program) ensures the consistent quality of all the load cells and other force measurement solutions manufactured by Flintec.
Flintec is able to control quality precisely because of its:
- in-house manufacture of strain gauges
- machining and heat treatment of load cell elements
- policy of 100% meticulous calibration of all load cells.
Flintec is already recognised as an innovative supplier to the retail scanner and self-checkout markets, where products such as the planar beam load cells (models PB and PBW) offer fast, accurate and ergonomic solutions.
Flintec has been a leader in high accuracy strain gauge load cell weighing solutions for decades. It uses this extensive knowledge to advise its clients on all aspects of weighing in both the North American and European markets.
Flintec Managing Director David Weeks said: “We are much more than simply load cell suppliers – we offer all the high level expertise needed to design and manufacture complete weighing and force measurement solutions.”
Key examples of this have included the launch of a manufacturing unit to produce a baby scale based on planar beam load cells.
The load cell, electronics, software and mechanical components will all be designed and assembled by Flintec.
