Instruments you can trust.
Every Metriq instrument detects when its enclosure has been opened, and it will not recalibrate without a single-use code issued by the server. Everything else is shaped to the job it does.
Smart weighing scales
The scale knows when it has been opened.
Like an electricity meter that flags a lifted cover, a Metriq scale detects enclosure-opening. The moment the seal is broken the scale enters a tamper state: it stops displaying readings and records the event. No reading is shown again until the instrument is re-sealed and recalibrated with a fresh code.
- Enclosure-tamper detection, recorded on the device
- Tamper state hides readings — a breached scale can't be used to transact
- Bench and platform formats for buying centres, mills and markets
- Calibration only via a server-issued single-use code over Bluetooth
A separate product line
Set the amount and let it dispense.
Dispensers are their own product line, designed for measured delivery rather than weighing by hand. You set a target quantity and the dispenser delivers it: liquids measured by volume, solids and powders by weight. Each dispense is recorded, so what left the hopper can be reconciled against what was meant to.
- Liquid dispensing measured by volume
- Gravimetric dispensing measured by weight
- Per-dispense records for reconciliation
- Same tamper detection and single-use calibration codes
Where it fits
Farm chemicals
Measure out fertiliser, pesticide and other inputs automatically — instead of weighing each dose by hand.
Cereals & grain
Grain is sold by weight but rarely dispensed. A gravimetric dispenser delivers an exact weight, recorded, every time.
Kitchen ingredients
Repeatable, recorded portions for production kitchens and food processing — consistency without a person on the scale.
Fuel & petroleum measurement
Measuring fuel, where every litre is money and tax.
Fuel is dispensed by volume, so it sits naturally on the same metering primitive as the rest of the line: a measured quantity, an enclosure that locks when opened, and calibration only by single-use code. What raises the stakes is what a short litre costs — a loss to the customer and to the revenue authority at once.
Metriq fuel measurement is built to the Kenyan verification regime — EPRA and the Weights and Measures Act (Cap. 513) — and to the OIML R117 accuracy standard for fuel dispensers. We welcome pilot and partner enquiries from depots, oil marketers, station operators and regulators.
Why fuel needs a shared ledger
A fuel litre passes through parties who don't fully trust each other — depot, distributor, station, the customer, the regulator, the revenue authority — and none of them will accept another's database as the record. That is the one place a shared, append-only ledger does work a single company's database cannot: every party can verify the same history, and no party can quietly rewrite it.
The record, today and tomorrow
- Today: every measurement, calibration and tamper alarm is written to a tamper-evident, append-only audit trail that can be independently checked.
- On the roadmap: a permissioned, blockchain-anchored ledger so a regulator or operator can run their own verifying node.
