Automated Batching System
Batching Automation Solutions
Batching is a manufacturing process used in a wide range of products from concrete to seal coating and baked goods to cosmetics. You know that to achieve the desired level of end product consistency, these processes must be uniform across different machines, different shifts, and even different plants. By integrating automation into your mixing, blending, or batching system, you can ensure that your process is consistent, repeatable, and scalable.
At Cross Company Automation, we’re able to provide modern automated batching systems that optimize industrial processes, ensure precise ingredient measurements, minimize process errors, and maximize your productivity. Through our customized batching automation, we’re able to transform the batching process for industrial operations across industries. We’ve provided solutions for manufacturing and commercial operations since the 1950s. And we can provide those solutions for your operation, too.

Streamlining Mixing, Blending, and Batching With Automation
Our engineering department has built hundreds of customized blending and batching systems across many different industries. Each application is slightly different. The experts at Cross work with you to understand your requirements and tailor the solution to meet your particular needs. We also pride ourselves on taking ownership of the project from start to finish. That means if there is a question or issue, we’re the only phone call you need to make.
Through our strategic partnerships with leading manufacturers, we can select and source exactly the right components for your application. In addition, we can provide ongoing support for your custom solution with repair and calibration, ensuring your system is up and running when you need it.
Greater Precision
Automated batching systems are designed to deliver precise and highly accurate measurements of ingredients. Through integrating highly-accurate scales, meters, and other measurement devices, these systems can ensure exact quantities are dispensed, ensuring accuracy
Improved Product Quality
Consistent batch-to-batch results and accurate ingredient measurements invariably result in improved product quality overall. Automated batching systems make sure the right ingredients are added in the right quantities, eliminating variations and inconsistencies in the final products produced
Increased Savings
Automated batching streamlines batching processes. This significantly reduces the time required to weigh and measure ingredients manually. By automating these repetitive tasks, you save the time spent on performing manual labor and reduce incorrect proportioning and other waste

What Makes Partnering With Cross Different?
Any automation system can follow basic steps and programming. But a Cross-integrated solution is designed with your operation in mind, taking into account ROI, architecture, and existing processes. With decades of experience in both industrial automation and precision measurement, we understand the potential “gotchas” in batching and blending and design systems to prevent them.
At Cross, we can also leverage our extensive metrology expertise to provide additional benefits like continuing calibration, equipment repair, and even data collection systems.
Reduce Raw Material Waste – We don’t just install a scale and call it a day. We engineer a weighing system with the accuracy and traceability you need. Our expertise ensures you use only what’s required, minimizing material variance and improving your forecasting.
Save Time Through Smarter Integration – Our engineers design intuitive, pre-programmed recipe management systems that allow your operators to switch between products at the touch of a button. This eliminates the guesswork and time spent manually adjusting batches, leading to faster, more efficient changeovers.
Utilize Intelligent Process Control – A Cross system does more than just mix ingredients. We integrate intelligent monitoring that can alert operators to restock an ingredient before it runs out, preventing unnecessary downtime and improving your overall equipment utilization.
Guarantee Traceability for Compliance – We build robust data logging and reporting directly into our solutions. A system engineered by Cross records precisely what went into each batch and when, providing the detailed traceability you need for strict quality control and regulatory compliance.
