Automation Success Stories

Integrating Solutions from Industry Leading Brands

Our team works with an industry leading number of suppliers when developing solutions for our customers, so we can integrate the right components every time. Our expertise, paired with access to a wider range of materials, means we can build the best solution for your process.

Where Automation Meets Metrology

At Cross, we leverage our world-class metrology expertise to ensure you’re getting the precision solutions your operation needs. We know that a successful automated weighing system isn’t just about integrating conveyor scales or batching systems. It’s about ensuring the data they show is accurate, repeatable, and trustworthy.

Our metrology experience allows us to design smarter systems. Since we understand the potential “gotchas” in implementing these applications, we can engineer solutions that account for them and work as intended in your operation.

Our engineering team focuses on developing solutions that work for your process, not on changing your processes to fit the solution. From the initial proof-of-concept all the way through to final installation and ongoing support, we are with you every step of the way to deliver the automation you’re looking for.

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
