Extra notes[edit]

Just leaving this here. The technologies and equipment used for seed-counting today are similar to pill counting, pharmacy automation equipment. Some of the seed-counters are multihead weighers. Large industrial/factory-sized seed-counting machines also do packaging, so there is a cross-over to the packaging industry. Platonk (talk) 07:42, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Manufacturers of seed-counting equipment[edit]

Preserving here the chart which preceded the recent WP:TNT and rebuilding of the article. Knowing these companies might come in handy for future content, searches, etc. Platonk (talk) 07:44, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How many companies total make them? The list would be quite long if listing all of them. Why only these shown? None of these companies have their own Wikipedia articles, their names just link to their company websites. Wikipedia is not a category. That's one of the rules. Also no references. Where is the information coming from? Is any of it outdated? New products made over time with improvements. Dream Focus 21:12, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dream Focus: I have no answers for you. This is the list as I found it in the article just two days ago (I just cleaned the links). You are correct that external links such as these are not appropriate in article-space, however this is the talk page. In the pursuit of other sources to improve the article, it is possible that these companies may have written something on the subject. By knowing their names, it gives us something to put in an internet search string. Platonk (talk) 21:19, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
