Ohaus and Labtronics Partner Again to Deliver New OEM Version of Labtronics’ Collect Software for Data Acquisition and Instrument Control

Labtronics Inc., a world leader in providing instrument and device integration software, announced today that Ohaus, a leading balance and scale equipment manufacturer, has committed to a substantial quantity of Ohaus’ new OEM version of Labtronics’ forthcoming Collect 6.0 software to supply customers with a complete package of weighing solutions.

“Several years ago Labtronics and Ohaus partnered to create an OEM version of Labtronics’ Collect software for our lab balance product line called Ohaus BalanceTalk,” said Sil Rocchio, Product Manager at Ohaus. “Emerging requirements from our customers for additional industry applications such as the industrial scale market, and demand to support multiple languages including English, French, German, Spanish and Italian, prompted us to update Ohaus BalanceTalk.”

“Labtronics’ Collect 6.0 software gives us all of these additional capabilities out-of-the-box and contains all of our current analytical balances and industrial scale product offerings in a central, installed instrument library of pre-configured interfaces,” continued Rocchio. “Ohaus Collect provides our customers with the industry leading data acquisition and instrument control software solution. It gives users the flexibility to connect with their Ohaus balances and scales in a way that meets their specific requirements and also gives them direct access to Labtronics unmatched instrument integration and control expertise through technical support and other resources.”

“We are extremely excited to be working with Ohaus once again to deliver the new Ohaus software based on our Collect 6.0 integration solution,” said Mike DeWitte, Vice President at Labtronics. “The Collect 6.0 solution features significant advances in data acquisition and control for any instrument or device that is able to communicate through their RS232, RS485 or TCP/IP Ethernet ports, connecting them to any open Windows application, directly to Files or Excel®.”
