For most manufacturers, achieving optimal manufacturing efficiencies while maintaining high product quality is the goal; but often a choice is made to err on the side of overfulfilling on their promises, even if it means accepting extra costs. While overfilling can reduce the Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) by preventing underweight or under-count product from being delivered to customers, it comes at the cost of manufacturing efficiency.
Relying on overfilling is especially common for manufacturers that do not inspect every package but
instead rely on random or intermittent inspections and Statistical Process
Control (SPC) to reduce the risk of shipping underweight or under-count

Did you know the cost of one defective product is 15X to 18X the cost of the product*
The hidden costs of quality can be up to 15-25% of total costs.*
100% Product Inspection not only reduces overfills but can also eliminate missing pieces from products.
Hardy Caseweighers make it fast and easy to detect missing components or overfilled cases reducing customer complaints

Our Caseweighers can locate both overfills and underfills
Did you know you can calibrate a scale without test weights as accurately and just as quickly?
If you’ve thought that using test weights is the only way to calibrate a scale, you’ve been misinformed.
Our customers have installed over 150,000 pre-calibrated Hardy C2® load cells under their silo, tank, platform, and bench scales.
Our customers complete their calibrations up to 4x faster
Our customers have made the task 7x safer for their employees
Our C2 load cells are 2x more reliable. They expose mechanical problems while traditional calibrations hide problems
Our customers have reduced the time their scales are unavailable for production between 38 to 51%
Did you know a scale can diagnose itself faster and more reliably than any scale technician can?
If you’ve thought that contracting a scale technician is the only way to diagnose a scale, you’ve been misinformed.
Our customers have installed over 110,000 Hardy self-diagnosing weight processors or controllers with our integrated technician (IT) and web server technology on their silo, tank, platform, and bench scales.
Our customers diagnose their scales up to 5x faster
Our customers have made the task 2x safer for their employees
Our customers have made the task 3x easier and the diagnostic results are 2x more reliable
