Abstract:
    Load cell is a load measuring sensor. It is the most common sensor used in industries. The main aim of this project is to design, develop, testing and manufacturing of load cell up to the industrial standards in Pakistan.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    Currently every sector in Pakistan is importing load cells according to their need. Import is a major problem our country is facing. The solution to this problem is to manufacture the load cells locally to aid the industrial sector as well as fuel the economy of Pakistan.
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   Load Cell is used in almost every field of engineering and technology. It is used in every type of weighing scales, laboratory instruments and universal testing machines. Civil Engineers use it to measure loads on structures. It is also used in robotics and autonomous systems.
How will the solution works
    The technical working of load cell is based on a very simple principal of physics. i.e., resistance changes by changing the temperature and length of a resistor. This simple concept is used in load cell and when load is applied its length changes and hence the resistance changes so we can calculate the load by calculating resistance change.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Metler Toledo and Haibo sensors are our two big competitors. Our price is what gives us the edge over others.----------------------
