Operators know the next step
Combine the target, tolerance, product data and required inputs on one screen. Adapt the interface and step sequence to your workflow.
Neutron NT. Your touchscreen weighing workstation.
A complete weighing workstation in one indicator
Neutron NT combines weighing electronics, a 7-inch touchscreen, applications and production connectivity. Operators select a product, follow a workflow, weigh and save the result in one place. Less additional computer equipment, less manual data entry and a clearer view of the task.
What you gain with Neutron NT
Less copying and fewer errors
Link weight to a product, batch, order or operator during weighing. Use the record for printing or transfer to your system.
Less additional equipment
Bring weighing, the user interface and process connections together in one terminal. A local weighing application does not require a separate computer.
Faster help with settings
Use the Scale Monitor connection for remote viewing, settings and diagnostics. Resolve some issues without waiting for a site visit.
A screen that follows your process
A clear 7-inch touchscreen
Bring large numbers, target weight, tolerances and required fields together in a display for the specific workstation.
The right data at the right step
Create custom fields, databases and selections for products, batches, orders or operators. Show the information operators need for each task.
The application runs on the terminal
NT applications always run locally. If the internet connection fails, local work remains on the terminal; remote management and cloud transfer require a connection.
Your data connects to the cloud
With an internet connection, NT automatically stores data in the Scale Monitor cloud. After an outage, it synchronizes when the connection returns.
An enclosure for demanding workplaces
The AISI 304 stainless-steel enclosure with IP67 protection is suitable for production stations in food, pharmaceutical and other industries.
Where Neutron NT saves work
Dosing and recipes
Operators follow the target quantity and preparation steps on the screen. Connect weighing to digital signals for dosing or other process equipment.
Weight checks and counting
Display the target weight and tolerances or use a piece-counting application. Link results to product data and subsequent processing.
Goods receipt, labels and traceability
A barcode scanner helps select data, while a printer produces a record or label. Weight and supporting information are captured in the same workflow.
From load cell to a useful record
Connect load cells directly to NT. Operators complete weighing on the terminal, and the result is available for records, printing or exchange with a PLC, SCADA, MES, ERP or WMS system. We adapt the interface, data fields and transfer event to your process.
A consistent workstation workflow
Select a product
Operators select a product, order or other prepared content; data can also be entered with a supported scanner.
Complete the weighing step
View weight, targets and tolerances on the screen. Supported applications and digital signals guide the next step.
Save the record
Link the measurement to task data and produce a printout or label on a connected printer.
Connect your data
Bring the record into Scale Monitor or the agreed data flow in your production or business system.
Connect the equipment you need
Barcode scanner
Include product selection or identifier entry in the weighing workflow and reduce manual typing.
POS and label printers
Print the weighing record during the task. Adapt the printout and printer connection to your chosen workflow.
Sensors and process equipment
Connect six inputs and six outputs to state detection, start/stop signals, tolerance checks and dosing.
Choose the right path for your data

CSCP manualModbus RTU / TCP
A PLC, HMI or SCADA system receives weight and status and uses supported commands. Modbus RTU operates over RS-232 or RS-485; Modbus TCP uses Wi-Fi or optional Ethernet.
Modbus RTU/TCP manualOPC UA
The built-in OPC UA server connects NT to a PLC, SCADA, MES or your own application. It supports unsecured None / Anonymous mode and signed, encrypted Basic256Sha256 / SignAndEncrypt communication with username and password authentication.
OPC UA manualFor integrators and connected production
Choose OPC UA when connecting to an OPC UA client in SCADA, MES, a PLC or your own application. Dosing, weight-checking and inventory measurements go directly to your production management system.
Less custom integration work
With classic Modbus, an integrator maps registers and their meaning. OPC UA provides a structured data model and supported methods that a client can browse. This makes it easier to connect equipment from different manufacturers.
Security is part of the connection
Signing, encryption and user authentication protect data exchange. OPC UA combines data, its meaning and security mechanisms; PROFINET and other process connections can retain their roles in machine control.
Connectivity that fits your IT requirements
Business Wi-Fi networks
WPA2/WPA3-PSK and Enterprise with EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS support integration into a compatible business network.
Encrypted communication
HTTPS, MQTTS, WSS and secured OPC UA provide data transfer using supported security mechanisms.
Device protection
Secure Boot checks trusted firmware, while Flash Encryption protects data in internal memory.
Remote management and updates
MID and PIN provide identification; OTA updates use HTTPS or the Cloud Management Platform.
Spot changes before they stop work
Integrated AI monitors the signal and drift of individual load cells to help identify the need for inspection, recalibration or replacement. Remote viewing and diagnostics make maintenance easier to plan and help reduce unnecessary site visits.
