March 11, 2019 (ANAMOSA, IA) – Scale-Tec, Ltd. and Performance Livestock Analytics, Inc. announced an exclusive partnership with the launch of Scale-Tec’s new hardware platform, POINT™. This scale display platform adds improved features to Performance Livestock Analytics’ Performance Beef feed management system.

 

“The new POINT device provides a powerhouse of connectivity, opening the door to the future of scale applications and integrations,” said Nick Von Muenster, President of Scale-Tec. “Our partnership with Performance Livestock Analytics provides livestock producers with the ability to capture accurate, automated information, enhancing their ability to make profitable decisions on the farm.”

 

The integration of the POINT™ scale display and Performance Beef™ software enables producers to accurately capture every pound of feed delivered and every dollar spent within the operation. The Performance Beef system offers real-time access to on-farm data and closeout reports to producers as well as their trusted advisor networks. The combined system ensures the right financial and operational performance information is getting to the right people at the right time.

 

Designed to be the leading agricultural scale display, POINT™ is entirely calibrated, supported and updated through its mobile app, increasing ease of use and minimizing downtime. It features Bluetooth® Low Energy technology to provide a device connectivity range of over 1000 feet. This advanced connectivity allows multiple smart devices to connect to the POINT scale display, allowing producers to simultaneously view and share weight data. POINT™ is capable of connecting to a majority of scale systems already in use on beef operations today.
