FORT WAYNE, IN — Murray Equipment and ICS are pleased to announce that ICS ControlPro® is now NTEP-certified for weigh-out operations using NTEP-certified meters and scales. With this certification, ICS ControlPro becomes the fertilizer industry's only software solution with NTEP certification for this application.

This milestone expands the capabilities of ICS ControlPro, enabling fertilizer retailers, manufacturers, and distributors to leverage a single certified weighing process for blending and loadout operations while maintaining compliance requirements.

What This Means for Fertilizer Operations

Traditionally, many fertilizer facilities rely on multiple measurement or verification steps during production and loadout. With NTEP-certified weigh-out functionality, ICS ControlPro can:

• Weigh product once using NTEP-certified meters and scales
• Create precise liquid fertilizer blends
• Load directly into totes, tanks, or trucks intended for resale
• Eliminate the need for a secondary measurement step

By simplifying the process, facilities can reduce equipment requirements, streamline facility layouts, and minimize opportunities for cross-contamination between products.

For operations seeking to improve efficiency and reduce complexity, the certification provides an additional pathway to optimize blending and loadout workflows while maintaining measurement accuracy and traceability.

ICS ControlPro handles both liquid and dry fertilizer applications from a single platform.

Supporting Efficiency and Accuracy

The certification further strengthens ICS ControlPro's position as a comprehensive automation platform for liquid fertilizer operations. By integrating certified weighing capabilities directly into the control software, facilities can consolidate processes and improve operational efficiency without sacrificing accuracy.

"This certification reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering innovative automation solutions that help fertilizer operations operate more efficiently, accurately, and profitably," said Dan Murray, Murray Equipment/ICS President.
