We modernize your industrial scales
Is your scale technically outdated? We can make it future-proof again.
A modernization at VISSER is more than just a repair – it is a targeted upgrade of your existing weighing technology. We only replace the components that are required for long-term functionality and reliability. This means that your tried-and-tested scales are retained, but are brought up to the latest technical standard.
Modernization for industrial and commercial scales – practical & precise
Typical measures:
- Replacement of obsolete load cells or indicator terminals
- Integration of digital interfaces (e.g. USB, Ethernet, fieldbus)
- Retrofitting self-service systems for truck scales
- Addition of monitoring elements for monitoring weighing processes
- Mechanical conversion: new bearings, bridges or force transmission within existing foundations
The result: fewer faults, greater operational reliability – and often lower follow-up costs compared to a new purchase.
Conversion of mechanical scales to electronic
Many older scales still work purely mechanically – reliably, but with limited functionality and interfaces. We convert these into electromechanical systems in accordance with the applicable type approval:
- Installation of digital load cells with defined force transmission
- Adaptation of the load lever mechanism to the required calibration error limits
- Testing & documentation in accordance with measurement and calibration law
This turns an analog scale into a modern, verifiable measuring system – perfectly tailored to your requirements.

Modernization of truck scales –
Recognize opportunities, know the limits
Modernization brings your truck scales up to the latest technical standards – but can also present challenges, depending on the situation. At VISSER, we help you to find the right balance between technical upgrading and economic efficiency.
Advantages of a truck scale modernization
✔ More precise measured values
Modern load cells, digital displays and improved force transmission increase the accuracy and reliability of your weighing processes – important for legal-for-trade applications.
✔ Faster processes
Automated self-service terminals, digital interfaces or integrated traffic light systems speed up throughput and save time in day-to-day operations.
✔ IT connection & transparency
Modern systems can be integrated into your existing software environment – from ERP to logistics platforms. This allows you to keep an eye on your weighing processes in real time.
Possible limits and considerations
⚠ Investment costs
Particularly in the case of comprehensive modernization, acquisition costs must be weighed against the remaining service life of the old appliance. In some cases, a new purchase may be more economical.
⚠ Integration & compatibility
Old IT systems or special process requirements can make integration difficult. We check in advance whether your system landscape is compatible with the planned modernization.
⚠ Maintenance effort
Technically upgraded systems come with additional components – and require specialized maintenance or updates if necessary.
