What is BAT Link?
BAT Link is specialized software for transferring weight data from BAT1 poultry scales to any farm management software you use. Now you can easily put reliable weight data right next to feed and water consumption, house temperature, and any other important readings in your management system’s display.
What data can it transfer to my management system?
All weight data, including individual bird weights, as well as any statistics BAT scales typically provide, including CV, average weight, and more.
Who is it for?
For anyone who uses any model of BAT1 manual scale. It doesn’t matter whether it is brand new or has been faithfully serving you for 10 years or more. BAT Link takes the way you manage your farm to a whole new level, and it’s completely free.
How does it work?
Working with BAT Link is simple. The first step is to download the free BAT Link software to your computer after entering your email in the window above or in the same window at BAT1 page and connect it to your farm management software. Then just connect the scale to your computer using the standard cable you would normally use to transfer data. The software reads the data from the scale and automatically sends it to your farm software, where it is instantly visible.
How does it integrate with my management system?
BAT Link is essentially a hub for your weight data, which it provides in a standardized form to your management system. To get started, you will need to connect BAT Link to your management software. This only needs to happen once and for all transfers after that, you just need to plug your scale into your computer.
When you download BAT Link, you’ll also receive a simple integration manual from the BAT support team to help your developer get everything connected. And, as always, if you need any support, our team is here to help.
What if I don´t know how to connect to my system?

Why is BAT Link available for free?
The best answer to this question comes from Petr Veit, the owner of VEIT Electronics: “As a dedicated manufacturer of poultry scales, our success over the past two decades has been deeply gratifying. We see this recent move as a way to give back to the global community of BAT users. Our goal? To further their success in poultry farming. BAT Link reflects our commitment to this goal, ensuring that whether a farmer is using one of our latest models or a BAT1 scale that has been faithfully serving them for years, they have the most reliable data available, right where they need it.”
