Description

OVX Scale is a novel weight scale optimized for beekeeping activities. This product has many innovative features that will be of great benefit for the user. The low height and rectangular robust frame enables easy placement of OVX Scale under any beehive. The top surface is slip resistant and protects the objects against undesired lateral movements. The OVX controller is conveniently connected to the scale via a 150 cm cable offering the user flexibility and comfort in usage.

The controller has advanced features like local storage of more than 1 million data points, clock and calendar functions, custom tare functions for relative/absolute measurements, Bluetooth connectivity that permits firmware updates and intelligent data processing.

Several accessories like temperature/humidity sensors, smoke alarms and GPS/GPRS modules can be used in conjunction with the OVX Scale.

The performance and flexibility of the novel OVX Scale in combination with an array of accessories, permits the user to performs measurements ranging from basic to advanced and the intelligent data processing helps the user to extract precise and pertinent information about the evolution of the beehive colony.
