Mobile Weigh, Price & Label Station , Meat Processing Facility, Texas

A Texas meat processor needed a flexible weighing and labeling solution that could move with their operation rather than stay fixed to one location on the floor. Their existing setup lacked mobility and made it difficult to adapt to changing line configurations and product flow.

CIP designed and fabricated a heavy-duty stainless steel mobile stand integrating a touchscreen PC, high-speed thermal label printer, digital weight indicator, and a floor-level scale platform , all on a wheeled frame that moves easily across the facility floor. CIP sourced and procured the PC, printer, and scale components from trusted suppliers, engineered and fabricated the custom stainless steel structure and all mounting hardware, and integrated everything into a single turnkey mobile unit.

CIP SCOPE

Load Cell Fabrication & Installation , San Antonio, TX

A San Antonio manufacturer needed new load cells fabricated and installed on their existing production equipment. CIP handled the full scope: custom fabricating the load cell mounting hardware to spec, then deploying a field team to install and integrate the new components on-site.

This project is a good example of CIP's combined fabrication and field installation capability. Our team fabricated the custom steel mounting plates and components in our Garden Ridge shop, then completed the on-site installation and welding at the customer's San Antonio facility with minimal disruption to their operation.
