29 Internal usage only POWERCELL PDX POWERCELL 760 POWERCELL PDX The Legacy continues with POWERCELL PDX POWERCELL MTX POWERCELL PDX  Highest Accuracy  Unequaled Reliability - No Junction Boxes - Environmental Protection & Predictive Diagnostics Leveraged 20+ years of field experience and an install base of 1 million load cells

30 Internal usage only The impact on your business  The value of 100lb of your product?  How many cars per day leaving your operation?  What is the revenue lost from one day of an unplanned shutdown?  How much time to you currently spend weighing cars?

31 Internal usage only 31 Accuracy Data – As Found in the Field  We collected "As Found" performance on hundreds of scales to see how much error was found on each scale  The results are incredible  MT test trucks drop weights on scales to see if they are in tolerance  Typically using around 25,000 lb. for truck, 40,000 lb. for rail scales

32 Internal usage only 32 Field Accuracy Data POWERCELL = More certainty in each measurement  There is a remarkable difference, and it is not accidental!  POWERCELL compensation technology corrects for factors that other load cells ignore: temperature changes, creep, linearity, hysterisis  It is easy to meet legal limits, but not easy to do what we do

33 Internal usage only 33 Field Accuracy Data Selling by Weight? These scales are cheating customers; damaging reputations and relationships Selling by Weight? These scales are giving away free product and hurting profits Purchasing by Weight? These scales are causing overpayment and inventory leakage leading to lost profits Purchasing by Weight? These scales are cheating suppliers; damaging reputations and partnerships

34 Comparison of Metrology Specs 34 At Capacity: OIML R60 C3 tolerance is 60% tighter than HB44 10K III L-M. All MT truck/rail scale load cells exceed the requirements of both! In general, OIML R60 (Europe) specifications are much tighter than the NTEP HB44 10K III L-M (USA).

35 Vehicle Scale Accuracy 35 200 lbs. of Error on a 100,000 lb. car, 400 lbs. on 200,000 lb. car! Car WeightAllowable Error (NTEP) Allowable Error (OIML) 20,000 lb.40 lb.44 lb.(20 kg) 60,000 lb.120 lb.88 lb.(40 kg) 80,000 lb.160 lb.88 lb.(40 kg) 100,000 lb.200 lb.132 lb.(60 kg) 200,000 lb.400 lb.132 lb. (60 kg) What is Legal for Trade for static rail scales? These US tolerances have been the same for over 50 years! They were established for lever systems.  For our new ROI calculators: - Just show the customer that we can improve accuracy by 20 or 40 lb. - This is conservative! Based on typical scale capacities

36 Internal usage only 36 Video: POWERCELL PDX Accuracy Accuracy is designed-in, field tested, and provides strong ROI

37 Internal usage only 37 An Accuracy Example: Did you know? Can anyone afford to give away full truckloads? Here is some amazing math:  In a hypothetical example, a customer weighs 100 trucks per day of grain  Gross truck weights are around 50,000 kg and net loads are 32,000 kg  Their scale is weighing 40 kg light on every truckload they sell - Not unusual; legal for trade - Accuracy test is -10 kg a with test load  They are giving away a free truckload worth of grain every 8 days!

38 Internal usage only POWERCELL PDX Unequaled Reliability Environmental Protection Cheating Flood, punctures & abuse Rust and corrosion Lightning Rodents High temperature Radio and Electromagnetic Cold, ice v Protects against the key causes of inaccuracy, downtime, and vehicle scale failure

39 Internal usage only Unmatched Lightning Protection  Can withstand multiple lightning strikes up to 80,000 Amperes - An average strike is 30,000 Amperes  The only cell with REAL Proof of System Performance - In the lab & in the field  METTLER TOLEDO provides total system protection for Load Cell, Cables, and Industrial Terminals  Third party certified POWERCELL PDX Unequaled Reliability

40 Internal usage only 40 Video: Lightning Protection Full system protection from lightning strikes

41 Internal usage only 41 Video: No Junction Boxes Eliminate the primary source of vehicle scale system failures

51 51 Estimate the Return on the Rail Scale Investment  Page 3 is the interactive form - most important  Different between the two versions, with similar elements Business Input Performance Input Price Input Output Page 3

52 52 ROI Tools – Business Input  Input from client to reflect their operation  Use conservative estimates if the client is unsure  Business days per year: 240 reflects an average Monday-Friday schedule, change if facility operates beyond this  Price of goods / Profit margin: if client has numerous goods or the price/margin varies, use conservative average

53 53 Calculator Output  This gives you the “Price Difference Payback” - Based on the price premium of POWERCELL PDX – NOT on the entire system price  When comparing to a competitor, remind client that these figures reflect annual savings that they will experience every year  Or, these are the figures that they will be losing each year with a less accurate and reliable system from a competitor  This is simply how POWERCELL PDX stacks up to the competition – if they currently have a scale, their savings over a current system will be even larger
