Hardy Process Solutions of San Diego, CA, was founded in 1918 as Hardy Scale Co. Since then, Hardy has established itself as an innovator of weighing instruments, load cells and scales. In 1984 Hardy Scales was purchased by Dynamic Instruments, Inc. and changed its name to Hardy Instruments, Inc., and in 2011 changed to Hardy Process Solutions, as a reflection of a redefined business focus.
In 2007 Hardy was acquired by Roper Technologies, Inc. Roper is a diversified technology company, providing engineered products and solutions for global niche markets, including software information networks, medical, water, energy, and transportation.
Since 1984, Hardy has developed a broad product line of weighing solutions for industrial process and packaging.
Hardy has continually focused the company’s design efforts on solving the most difficult challenges in process control, packaging and industrial weighing. Some examples include:
- Eliminating the effects of vibration on scale readings with WAVERSAVER
- Developing proprietary C2 electronic calibration, which eliminated the need for heavy test weights when calibrating load cells and scales
- Allowing system diagnostics and troubleshooting directly from the weighing instrument using Hardy’s INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN
- Developing add-on-profiles (AOPs) and Faceplates for Premier Integration with Rockwell Automation PLCs/PACs, a first in the weighing industry
- Designing a revolutionary multi-scale system that separates communications and weight processing, enabling up to 28 weight processors to communicate through one Gateway module via a single Ethernet connection
- Offering in-motion check weighing with open source programmability, off-the-shelf Rockwell components, and ease of integration into Rockwell Automation’s The Connected Enterprise for the Dynamic Checkweigher series
