CloudScale LWS – LoRaWAN® Weight Sensor Module
CloudScale LWS is a smart, compact weighing module that transforms any scale into a wireless, cloud-connected weighing solution using LoRaWAN network. Designed for agriculture, industry, and infrastructure monitoring, it delivers accurate weight data without the complexity of traditional systems.
With web-based setup and calibration, zero local configuration is required. The system is fully integrated with Scale Monitor, offering real-time dashboards, alerts, and logging. A RESTful web service interface is also available for seamless integration with your own ERP, SCADA, or MESH-based platforms.
🔧 Key Features:
✅ Plug & Play with standard load cells (strain gauge-based)
🌐 LoRaWAN® connectivity for long-range, low-power data transmission
🛠️ Full configuration & calibration via browser – no tools required
📊 Real-time weight monitoring through Scale Monitor
🔗 REST API integration for cloud, ERP, or MESH system compatibility
🧱 Rugged, low-power design for permanent outdoor installation
🚀 What is LoRaWAN?
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a wireless protocol tailored for low-power devices that need to communicate across long distances. It’s ideal for industrial, agricultural, and remote monitoring applications because it:
Supports battery-powered devices with multi-year lifespans
Covers distances of up to 15 km in open environments
Operates on license-free radio bands (e.g., 868 MHz in Europe)
⚖️ The Challenge with Weighing Systems
Traditional weighing systems are often wired, stationary, and isolated from modern IT infrastructure. Integrating them with cloud platforms typically involves expensive cabling, local network access, and limited flexibility.
Not anymore.
☁️ Introducing CloudScale LWS
CloudScale LWS is a LoRaWAN compliant scale and provides versatile solution that connects physical scales to the cloud via LoRaWAN. It empowers you to:
Monitor weights remotely from any device via cloud dashboards
Transmit real-time data from mobile or fixed scales
Deploy battery-powered systems in the field with ultra-low energy consumption
Whether you’re weighing livestock, grain silos, pallets, or remote weighbridges, CloudScale LWS eliminates the need for local infrastructure and cabling — bringing simplicity and mobility to weighing.
🌍 Real-World Applications
Agriculture: Monitor feed bins or livestock scales in the field
Logistics: Track pallet or container weights across large yards
Smart Cities: Connect public infrastructure weighing stations
Industry: Integrate production-line scales with ERP systems
🔧 Easy Setup, Scalable Architecture
CloudScale LWS is built for plug-and-play simplicity:
Configure directly from any web browser — no software installation required
Calibrate your scale via phone, tablet, or PC
Push data to your own cloud or use our ready-to-integrate Scale Monitor API
You can build automated workflows, set weight-based alerts, schedule reports, and monitor devices — all from the cloud.
