What is Automated Scale Corporation?

Updated

Automated Scale Corporation is an industrial scale equipment sales and service company serving the Chicago area and Indiana. Since 1980, it has offered electronic and mechanical weighing equipment for sale, plus repair, installation, parts, maintenance, and rentals across major brands. If you need industrial weighing equipment or service in that region, it is a relevant vendor to contact; if you are outside Chicagoland or Indiana, its service footprint may not cover you.

What the company does

The business centers on industrial weighing systems rather than consumer scales. Its stated service lines are:

  • Sales of electronic and mechanical weighing equipment
  • Repairs on weighing systems
  • Installations
  • Parts supply
  • Maintenance programs
  • Rentals of scale equipment

It describes itself as serving "Chicagoland and Indiana" and positions itself as a premier industrial scale equipment sales and service company for that territory.

Brands it carries

Automated Scale states it handles all brands, and specifically names:

Brand
Fairbanks Scales
Rice Lake Weighing Systems
Avery Weigh-Tronix
Mettler Toledo
B-Tek
Cardinal
Ohaus

This matters if you already own equipment from one of these manufacturers and want a service provider familiar with it, or if you are comparing brands and want a single vendor that sells several.

Technician licensing and certification

The company says its industrial scale technicians are licensed through the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture in Certify NTEP, Legal for Trade, and State Certified weighing equipment. For buyers, this is the detail to verify when the work involves legal-for-trade weighing — applications where the weight reading has a regulatory or commercial consequence. Ask for the specific certification relevant to your equipment and location before scheduling installation or repair.

How to decide whether to contact them

Use these conditions to judge fit:

  • Contact them if you are in Chicagoland or Indiana and need industrial scale sales, repair, installation, parts, maintenance, or rental, especially for the brands listed above.
  • Verify first if your application is legal-for-trade or otherwise regulated — confirm the technician certification covers your specific scale type and jurisdiction.
  • Look elsewhere if you are outside their stated service area, since on-site service and installation depend on geography.

Contact details

The company presents itself as family-oriented and customer-service focused, stating it will not sell equipment a customer does not need. That is a positioning claim rather than a verifiable fact, so treat it as a starting point for a conversation about your actual weighing requirement.
