The beginning
1994
Founding of SysTec Systemtechnik und Industrieautomation GmbH with a focus on innovative weighing indicators and software for industrial scales and systems.
Milestones in the company history
SysTec - more than 30 years of success in the weighing technology market. An overview on the milestones in our company's history:
IT9000
1995
Market launch of the IT9000 weighing indicator: This is the first freely programmable SysTec indicator, and it is suitable for scales in goods receiving departments, as a batching and filling controller, and for weighing systems of all types with customer-specific programs.
In 1995, SysTec also receives the first EC-type approval as an NAWI (non-automatic weighing instrument) for the IT9000 weighing indicator.
IT8000
2002
SysTec presents the new IT8000 – a universally applicable, W&M approved industrial weighing indicator with a bright LCD display. It is a further derivative of the IT9000, features a modular design, and is freely programmable. It has interfaces for two analog or digital scales as well as serial, analog, digital, and fieldbus interfaces.
IT1000
2004
SysTec is expanding its product portfolio with the IT1000 weighing indicator. This is a cost-effective, W&M approved weighing indicator with standard programs for industrial weighing applications. The IT1000 is suitable for connection to an analog scale base and has one serial and two digital I/O interfaces.
Initial Manufacturer's Verification
2005
Initial Manufacturer's Verification in compliance with Directive 90/384/EEC (currently 2014/31/EU ). In 2005, SysTec is certified for the first time by the Netherlands Measurement Institute (NMi). On the basis of the NMi-approved and audited QM system, SysTec can authorize customers to carry out conformity assessments in consultation with NMi on behalf of SysTec.
IT3000Ex
2005
First SysTec weighing indicator for use in Ex zone 1 and Ex zone 21. The new IT3000Ex is ideal for difficult environmental conditions with high hygienic requirements, e.g., in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry and in food processing plants. It is suitable for connection to an intrinsically safe scale base in hazardous areas with an approved resolution of 6000 d at 80 % preload.
EC type examination certificates
2006/07
With the PTB* EC type examination certificates for automatic weighing instruments (AWI), covering automatic scales for discontinuous totalizing, automatic gravimetric filling instruments (AGFI) and automatic checkweighers / catchweighers, SysTec enters the market for automatic scales in the areas of filling systems, checkweighers, and receiving/shipping scales.
*PTB = Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt
IT8000Ex
2007
Market introduction of the freely programmable IT8000Ex weighing indicator for Ex zones 1 and 21. The industry-oriented design, the modular concept with numerous interfaces, the proven standard programs, and the free programmability make the IT8000Ex the ideal weighing indicator for applications in hazardous areas.
IT9000E
2007
SysTec presents the new IT9000E weighing indicator. The W&M approved IT9000E is designed for demanding industrial applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, the food sector, and many other industries. IT9000E offers a bright TFT color display, is freely programmable, has a powerful microprocessor, and a Linux-based operating system.
E series
2011
The three new W&M approved indicators IT4000E, IT6000E, and IT8000E of the E series are introduced into the market. These devices are designed for demanding industrial applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, the food sector, and many other industries. The 32-bit ARM processor and the Linux-based operating system, together with the integrated web server, are the basis for the easy integration of ITx000E indicators into PC networks. Data transmission via WiFi and remote maintenance via Internet are optional.
2012
Market launch of the first SysTec weighing indicator with touch panel operation and bright 7" TFT c olor display. ITx000ET features a variety of analog and digital interfaces. The weighing electronics are suitable for connection of up to two analog strain gauge scales with an approved resolution of up to 6000 d at 80% preload.
IT2000M
2015
Introduction of the IT2000M weighing module. It is ideal for high-precision W&M approved capturing of weights and for filling applications with scales with analog strain gauge load cells (e.g., silo, hopper, or bagging scales). Weight value and status information of the scale are continuously transmitted to the connected PLC or SCADA system via PROFINET, PROFIBUS DP, or Ethernet/IP.
OPC UA
2018
Since 2018, SysTec has been part of the "OPC UA weighing technology interface specification" project group. The aim is to establish an internationally recognized manufacturer-independent interface for weighing systems. This standardization is based on the OPC UA communication protocol (Open Platform Communication - Unified Architecture).
Innovative through research
2022
SysTec receives the "Innovative Through Research" award. The Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft e.V.* honors the company's commitment to research and development in the field of weighing technology.
*Stifterverband is a joint initiative started by companies and foundations and focuses its efforts primarily on the fields of education, science and innovation.
IT9
2024
With the new freely programmable IT9 weighing indicator with color touch display, SysTec has set another milestone in the company's history. The modular hardware design, with state-of-the-art electronic components, and numerous interface options make the device universally applicable for a wide range of tasks in all industrial sectors that use weighing technology. A powerful microprocessor system, high memory capacity, and a software development environment specially designed for weighing indicators are the prerequisites for designing solutions for demanding requirements.
