Kern BID Floor Platform Scale

What is the Kern BID Platform Scale?

The BID Platform Scale from Kern is a tough, IP67 rated weighing platform that is perfect for demanding industrial environments. This is platform scale that is specifically made for weighing European pallets thanks to its compact size, and is available with trade approved models for selling based on weight.

What are the benefits of using the Kern BID Platform Scale?

The Kern BID is a durable and robust platform scale, with a tough durbar surface and 4 silicone-coated steel load cells with IP67 protection. This ensures that the BID has a high level of protection from dirt, dust and water ingress.

Thanks to the RS-232 and Bluetooth interfaces, the BID can easily be connected to existing networks, and allow for data exchange between the scale and PC or printer to be made easier.

There are also intuitive parts counting and totalising functions to help speed up repetitive industrial weighing and parts counting tasks.

The scale can be controlled by another device with the KERN Communication Protocol (KCP). KCP is a standardised interface command structure for KERN industrial scales which allows you to recall and manage all relevant parameters and device functions. You can therefore simply connect KERN devices with KCP to computers, industrial control systems and other digital systems. In a large number of cases the KCP is compatible with the MT-SICS protocol. This is only possible through data interface RS-232; other interfaces on request.

Who would use the Kern BID Platform Scale?

The Kern BID is made specifically with high capacity industrial weighing - particularly weighing palletised goods - in mind. Warehouses, factories and despatch departments can all benefit from using the BID to safely weigh large, heavy and awkward subjects, such as pallets, barrels and kegs.
