♻️ Scrap & Recycling

Scale Solutions for Scrap Metal & Recycling

From truck scales at the gate to floor scales in the warehouse—stream every weight to every screen, every system, every operator. No scale modification. No certified technician. No waiting.

The Recycling Industry Challenge

Your scales work. Your data doesn't.

❌ The Problem

Recyclers deal with dozens of weight transactions daily—truck scales for inbound/outbound, floor scales for sorting, pallet scales for inventory. But that data is trapped:

  • Truck scale data locked in proprietary software
  • Floor scales with no digital output—just a display
  • Forklift operators yelling weights across the yard
  • Manual data entry into inventory systems
  • No proof when customers dispute weights
  • Scale company wants $1,500+ to add RS232 output

✅ The Cloud-Scale Solution

We liberate your scale data without touching the certified scale. Every weight, every format, everywhere you need it:

  • Stream truck scale to NVR alongside security cameras
  • Read floor scale displays with Vision OCR—no modification
  • Laptop on forklift connects wirelessly like a physical cable
  • Auto-feed weights to inventory, accounting, ERP
  • Video proof of every transaction
  • $199 Vision device vs $1,500 scale company upgrade

⚖️ The Certified Scale Reality

Your truck scales and floor scales are legal for trade—certified by weights & measures for buying and selling material. That certification gives scale manufacturers a stranglehold: only they can modify the scale, and they charge a fortune for it.

Touch the scale yourself? You void the certification. Need RS232 output? That's a $500-800 card, plus a $200 service call, plus $200-400 in certified technician labor. And you'll wait 2-4 weeks.

Cloud-Scale doesn't tamper with your certified scale. We read the display non-intrusively with a camera. Same certified weight. Same legal compliance. Your data, liberated.

Floor Scales & Forklift Integration

Not just truck scales. We connect every scale in your operation.

📦 Pallet & Floor Scales

Your warehouse floor scales weigh thousands of pallets daily. Most have no digital output—just a display that someone reads and writes down. That's where errors happen.

With Scale Streamer Vision: Mount a camera on the scale display. AI reads the weight and streams it directly to your inventory system. No manual entry. No errors. No scale modification.

  • Reads any 7-segment display
  • Outputs to inventory software via API
  • Works with scales that have zero connectivity
  • $199 device vs replacing the entire scale

🚜 Forklift Laptop Integration

Your forklift operator needs scale data at their fingertips—not shouted across the warehouse. Cloud-Scale makes the laptop on their forklift connect to floor scales wirelessly, like it's plugged in with a physical cable.

How it works: Scale Streamer captures the weight and broadcasts over your WiFi. Cloud Scale Transport creates a virtual COM port on the laptop. Your inventory software sees a local scale connection.

  • Wireless connection acts like physical RS232
  • Works with any inventory/WMS software
  • Multiple forklifts, one scale, no conflicts
  • Real-time weight at the operator's fingertips

🚀 Cutting-Edge Technology

We're building the future of scale data. Legacy scale companies aren't even trying.

We Develop. They Maintain.

Scale manufacturers make their money selling hardware and locking you into service contracts. They have zero incentive to develop software that frees your data—that would undermine their business model.

Cloud-Scale is different. We're on the development side of automation, AI, and industrial IoT. We use the latest hardware—ESP32-P4 processors released months ago, on-device machine learning, POE-powered edge computing—technology that legacy scale companies won't touch for another decade.

When your scale has no RS232, no TCP/IP, no streaming output—it's just a measuring device. We change that. Our Vision OCR reads any display and makes any scale smart.

Our Tech Stack

  • ESP32-P4 (2024 release) with on-device AI
  • TensorFlow Lite ML inference at the edge
  • ONVIF-compliant RTSP video streaming
  • Protocol-agnostic output (any format)
  • REST APIs, webhooks, MQTT for modern integration
  • POE-powered single-cable installation

Recycling Facility Use Cases

Real solutions for real operations.

🚛 Inbound Scale House

Stream truck weights to your NVR alongside gate cameras. Operators see the weight without walking to the scale. Video proof of every load for dispute resolution.

📊 Inventory Integration

Floor scale weights flow directly to your inventory system. No clipboard, no manual entry, no fat-finger errors. Just scan the barcode and the weight auto-populates.

💰 Accounting Automation

Weights feed into QuickBooks, SAP, or your accounting system via API. Automatic invoicing based on actual weights. Reconciliation becomes trivial.

📺 Yard Displays

Large LED displays show weights to customers in their trucks. Scale Streamer Edge puts a 5" digit display anywhere—no wiring back to the scale house.

🤖 AI Analytics

Feed weight data to generative AI. Ask "what was our copper average last week?" in plain English. Anomaly detection catches fraud before it costs you.

📱 Mobile Access

Check any scale from your phone. Owners monitor operations from home. Managers check weights from the field. Real-time, anywhere.
