FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Reliable Scale Corporation introduces Sort Manager Automatic Hog Sorting Management Software.

(Calgary, AB Canada) – Sort Manager Software is a powerful tool providing control and data retrieval capability for barns equipped with hog sorters. Operators can analyze the performance of each sorter for improved herd growth performance. Benefits include improved feed management, finer control of herd growth, more accurate prediction of shipping schedules and improved information for marketing decisions.

Operators can now retrieve “up to the minute” data from up to 32 sorters on a single cable loop. Sort Manager retrieves data automatically throughout the day from each sorter, usually at 30 minute intervals.

Sort Manager can generate several charts and graphs for viewing, printing, emailing or exporting. Automatic daily summary reports can also be sent to one or more email addresses.

Each sorter managed by Sort Manager can be viewed and programmed from the office, eliminating the need to make parameter changes at each sorter location.

Sort Manager is Windows® based program that works with Reliable Scale Model 580A and 680A hog sorter controllers. A demo version is available from the Reliable Scale Corporation website or by request on CD.

Reliable Scale Corporation is a pioneer in the field of hog sorting and has set the standard in hog sorter controller technology.

Reliable Scale Corporation is a second-generation family owned business, manufacturing specialized electronic scales in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Reliable Scale Corporation introduces new Cattle-Logger Data Retrieval Software.

(Calgary, AB Canada) – Cattle-Logger Data Retrieval Software greatly simplifies the task of getting animal data from chute-side to computer for use with herd management programs or the creation of reports (for CCIA in Canada).

The need to better manage herd data has increased over the past few years. Reliable Scale Corporation addresses this need by collecting electronic identification (EID) in its line of digital weight indicators. Using a weight indicator to gather data eliminates the need for a personal computer at chute-side. The weight indicators are ruggedly built and are designed to operate in harsh conditions.

The weight indicator is easy to take to the office and connect to a PC for data transfer. Cattle-Logger software automates the process of transferring and converting records into a variety of reports and formats. If desired, the operator can verify and manipulate the data before it is saved in common spreadsheet or word processor programs. Cattle-Logger can also export files for the popular Cow Sense® herd management software program. This makes adding or updating weight and/or ID information in Cow Sense® very easy.

Cattle-Logger™ is standard Windows® based program that works with Reliable Scale Series 300, 500 and 600 digital weight indicators. It is provided at no charge on the Reliable Scale Corporation website or by request on CD.

Reliable Scale Corporation is a second-generation family owned business, manufacturing specialized electronic scales in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Reliable Scale Corporation introduces new Calf-Tote with advanced features.

(Calgary, AB Canada) – The CT-500 Calf-Tote is the latest development in Reliable Scale’s commitment to meeting the needs of the modern rancher. The Calf-Tote is designed for easy mounting in a standard two-inch hitch receiver on any full-size truck. The Calf-Tote offers ranchers a powerful new tool for weighing and handling newborn calves. A load cell is fabricated into the frame and connected to an all-weather electronic weight indicator to give accurate birth weights. The Model 300 digital indicator is standard equipment and stores weight records for later analysis. The EID option adds memory for storing electronic ID numbers, time and date along with the birth weight. Transferring field data to a personal computer is quick and easy. The calf is cradled comfortably in soft poly slings so he doesn’t feel the need to struggle. His mother can be close by and can smell her baby while the rancher works safely. The Calf-Tote is fabricated from durable steel tubing, powder painted for a weatherproof finish and the slings are made of weatherproof non-stretch polyethylene. An optional ATV mounting kit or wall mounting kit is available on request.

Reliable Scale has a long history of manufacturing rugged scales for the harsh Canadian environment and we apply our experience and expertise to all our new and innovative products. Reliable Scale Corporation is a second-generation family owned business, manufacturing specialized electronic scales in Calgary, Alberta.
