DATA Count S 660

While the prices of seeds continue to rise, it becomes increasingly more difficult to understand how seed manufacturers are still supplying seeds not by exact numbers, but rather by estimated weights. A review of the preferences of large companies quickly shows that they have been searching for a solution that would enable them to accurately supply a pre-specified number of seeds according to a trusted counting system, rather than supply an estimated number. To maintain customer satisfaction, large companies have been over-supplying seeds based on an estimated weight. These companies settled on this option because there was no technology available that could provide the accuracy and speed such a system would require.

After identifying and addressing this problem, DATA has developed the S 660 which, for the first time, can make this important goal a reality. DATA's S 660 relies on the company's patented Detector, which can count dozens of seeds per second. When combining several Detectors, the number can easily reach thousands of seeds in one minute.

It is important to note that while delivering both speed and accuracy, the DATA Count S 660 does not require any change in current production or processing equipment or procedures. For the seed manufacturer, including the S 660 in the packaging process is a relatively simple and minor addition which can save hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, because it enables packaging according to real rather than inflated numbers typically used to ensure a minimum order.
