Custom Software for Scale Controllers
Custom-Programmed Scale Indicator Software
For many industrial operations, scales are critical for quality, productivity, and revenue. But equally important is the controller behind the scale. Whether they connect to multiple scales across a facility or just provide an operator with single weight information, it’s necessary that they be reliable and accurate. However, reliability and accuracy are only a fraction of what a custom scale controller can offer.
Cross Company’s Automation group can provide custom programming for scale controllers or indicators based on the needs of your operation. Get scale controller software from Cross that works with your process.
Scale Controller Software Built Around Your Process
Whether you need smarter batching, cleaner data integration, real-time verification, or fully customized operator workflows, Cross Automation can build controller software that fits seamlessly into your process and boosts accuracy, throughput, and traceability.
No matter your industry, application, or controller brand, our automation engineers can develop or update your scale software to meet your exact needs. Let Cross help you turn your controllers into true productivity tools.

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.
Increase Efficiency With Custom Scale Indicator Software
Behind every scale is its controller. It’s the system that makes it smart. And with the right programming, a scale controller can
- Record weight and identifying information for each weighment
- Store data locally or transmit it to ERP and quality systems
- Support billing, record-keeping, and compliance
- Automate and control complex weighing and batching processes
From automatic blending or batching ingredients for precise recipe formulation to small parts kitting and classifying, monitoring liquid or gas filling, precision dosing, truck scale unattended kiosks, and much more, Cross can provide the custom software your operation needs. We can provide a scale controller that does far more than display an (accurate) number. We provide one that becomes an integral part of your production process.

Real Results and Tangible Benefits
At Cross, we’ve partnered with manufacturers to update outdated or underperforming scale indicator systems with new, customized scale controller software. We’ve created fully weight-based batching system controllers, indicators including built-in data collection with custom metrics, and many other configurations. Other features we can add include
Inventory Tracking
Prompts to inform operators about ingredients and monitoring for inventory levels (including an alert for when a component is running low, reducing wasted batches)
Weighment Verification
Tracking amounts added using both numerical and visual progress indicators, keeping weighments within target range. Also provides immediate corrective feedback
Batch Traceability
Links each component lot to the finished batch, providing full traceability and quality assurance
Assembly Instructions
Prompts to guide operators through the steps of the batch assembly process. This ensures full completeness before batch finalization
Data Integration
Controllers able to automatically collect and transmit data to a local ERP system for reliable and streamlined recordkeeping
