Which type of scale is right for your needs?
To identify the ideal counting scale , we at CELMI recommend that you define the following points:
- the average weight of the goods you have to weigh / count,
- the maximum weight and number of types of objects,
- the ability to connect it to your computer,
- the amount of variety of objects it can keep in memory, and being digital scales
- battery life and display readability .
To define the first point, and to understand how a piece counter works, the average weight for each type of product is the first necessary data. For example, it is sufficient to weigh 10 pieces of the same type of product all together, the scale will take the total weight detected by dividing it by the quantity of pieces and will carry out the average of the weight per piece (APW) . Each type of product is stored and consequently it is important to choose a scale with a high resolution , that is, a scale capable of recording the minimum weight variation for each type of product. The weight and number of pieces are stored and added to the counting scale for each individual weighing process, and you automatically receive a total number for each item.
