Your Partner in Process Measurement Since 1918

Hardy Process Solutions began in 1918 as Hardy Scales. Since then we`ve designed, built and installed virtually every type of scale imaginable. In 1984 Hardy Scales was purchased by Dynamic Instruments, Inc. and we changed our name to Hardy Instruments, Inc., and in 2011 to Hardy Process Solutions, as we redefined our business focus.

Since 1984 we`ve developed a full product line of Process Weighing solutions. We have listened to our customers and focused the company`s design efforts on solving the most difficult challenges in process control and industrial weighing:

With WAVERSAVER®, we eliminated the effects of vibration on scale readings
With Remote I/O, we were the first company to connect weighing instrumentation to Allen-Bradley PLCs without programming software drivers
C2® eliminated the need for test weights when calibrating and INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® allows system diagnostics and troubleshooting from the instrument
For further integration with Rockwell Allen Bradley PLCs we were the first weighing company to develop add-on-profiles.

Our ADVANTAGE® line of Load Points and Load Sensors have elevated the standard load cell transducer to a new level making extra cost features standard and making their certs available online 24/7.

In 2007 Hardy was acquired by Roper Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ROP) and is now part of its Energy Systems and Controls group. Roper is a diversified technology company with annual revenues of $3.6 billion, providing engineered products and solutions for global niche markets, including software information networks, medical, water, energy, and transportation. Roper is a component of the S&P 500, Fortune 1000 and Russell 1000 Indexes and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ROP.
