Second Quarter 2026
Electrical switching & drive systems & components
In any high-demand industrial environment, every ton, every second and every decision impacts the bottom line. Loadtech’s ViewIT loadcell platform can transform the way operations monitor, manage and maximise conveyor belt performance. Imagine having complete, live, accurate visibility of your production, right at your fingertips. Designed as a powerful cloud-based data platform, ViewIT takes the complexity out of belt-scale monitoring and replaces it with clarity, speed and control. There are no more delays or guesswork, just real-time insights delivered wherever you are.
In a world where efficiency defines success, it is critical to know your tons at all times. With Loadtech and ViewIT, your data works for you, allowing you to instantly access critical metrics like belt rate, total tonnage and system status through an intuitive interface on your mobile device or desktop. Whether you are on site or halfway across the world, your operation is always within reach. This level of connectivity means faster decisions, reduced downtime and a smarter workflow.
With customisable dashboards, you can tailor the platform to reflect what matters most to your business. Automated alerts keep you one step ahead, notifying you of irregularities before they escalate into costly disruptions. Security and reliability are also at the forefront. With secure cloud storage, your data is protected, organised and always accessible. Combined with Loadtech’s industry-proven belt scale systems, ViewIT delivers a seamless, end-to-end solution that is both robust and easy to integrate into existing operations. The result is smarter decisions and optimised production. ViewIT unlocks the full potential of your data, turning information into impact.
