Swedish company Unisystem AB offers a wide range of marine scales which can be used at sea as well in the aquaculture industry.
Unisystem was the first manufacturer of approved marine scales according to the European Directive 2009/23/EC. The company says that the scales are unique due to their automatic global gravity compensation unit.
“We have developed and designed our marine scales and weighing solutions to be used at sea in close cooperation with fishermen to make them especially easy-to-use,’’ explains Johan Demes, global sales executive at Unisystem. “This development never ends and we are continuously improving the scales based on new techniques and the demands of our customers.”
Unisystem’s marine scales are said to be very accurate even after long-term use and do not need recalibration. When travelling long distances, with the gravity change, the built-in compensation unit takes care of the global gravity compensation in addition to the tilt and motion compensation. This huge advantage is highly appreciated by fishermen sailing in international waters, for example.
Starting with just a marine scale as a standalone scale Unisystem offers the possibility to extend later on with software for reports, a printer for labelling and lastly with the total eSea®System software including RFID. This system can be delivered with communications for direct transfer of catch reports to an E-logbook and even traceability can be transferred. As more and more countries require traceability reporting the company says that eSea®System will be the next generation of marine scales.
