A Modern Upgrade for Yield Optimization
Crop Optimization &
Shear Control System
The Global Gauge Shear Control System (SCS) is a PLC-based control platform designed to replace outdated shear control hardware. As an add-on to Global Gauge’s Crop Optimization System, it ensures precise shear positioning and consistent crop lengths to maximize usable yield.
Key Benefits & Applications
- Modern PLC-based architecture for long-term serviceability.
- Reuses most existing digital and analog I/O for cost-effective upgrades.
- Significant increase in yield when paired with Vision and Crop Optimization software.
- Quick deployment with minimal downtime during system retrofit.
Value Delivered
By modernizing legacy shear control equipment, mills benefit from faster response times, better synchronization, and reduced scrap. When combined with Global Gauge’s Vision and Crop Optimization solutions, the SCS delivers measurable improvements in yield and production reliability.
