8020 Controller

History of Automatic Bird Weighing

Weltech revolutionised the poultry industry with the introduction of the BW8000 controller, the first automatic bird weighing system. Launched in 1986 at Reedham Farm for Buxted Poultry, it marked the beginning of a new era in poultry management. Over the years, Weltech has continually improved its systems, and the latest model, the 8020, boasts several cutting-edge features that make poultry weighing easier, faster, and more efficient.

The 8020 Controller – A Leap Forward

The 8020 controller offers a wealth of new capabilities and improvements over its predecessor. It features a large, intuitive graphical display, providing in-depth analysis of the average weight of the birds. Whether you manage a small farm or a large poultry operation, the 8020 is designed to meet your needs, with the capacity to handle up to 10 individual weighing platforms.

Easy Installation & Support

Installation of the 8020 system is fast, stress-free, and can be done by the end user with minimal guidance. However, Weltech’s trained engineers are always available to assist with setup and troubleshooting as needed.

Key Statistics Provided by the 8020 System

With the 8020 controller, you can easily track vital poultry data, including:

  • Average weight of birds
  • Age of birds
  • Total number of birds weighed
  • Daily weight gain
  • Standard Deviation
  • Coefficient of Variation
  • Evenness/Uniformity Percentage
  • Histogram

Advanced Features for Better Control

The 8020’s large TFT display allows you to monitor the performance of all platforms installed. It gives you the flexibility to explore detailed statistics for each platform individually. Additionally, the system’s versatile outputs make it easy to integrate with other management systems. Whether through an internet connection or mobile network, data transmission is simple and reliable.
