Using a counting scale speeds up the counting process compared to manual inventory control methods.These high accuracy scales can measure even the smallest parts with accuracy, eliminating operator error and maximising accuracy.
Overview
Counting scales are primarily used in manufacturing, inventory management, and retail to count large quantities of small items accurately and efficiently.
They “count” by determining the weight of a single item – a piece weight – and using that data to weigh bulk loads of the same item and determine the quantity of items on the scale.
When combined with counting scale software, the scales can maintain and track well over 100,000 different parts, numbers and descriptions, including pre-recorded piece weights and tare weights, to help speed up any inventory control process. This centrally controlled database allows easy access for accurate parts picking from over 32 different counting scales, guaranteeing real time inventory tracking at all times.
PLU Lookup counting scale software offers multi-scale inventory control, allowing the supervisor to easily track operator or scale throughput at any given point in time, or to help highlight areas that require attention.
Counting scales are often used in inventory management to quickly and accurately count items like screws, bolts, electronic components, etc. Scales can be linked to inventory management or warehouse management systems, and can be programmed to hold specific PLU data for 1000s of inventory items.
Just as with inventory management, using counting scales in a manufacturing environment enables production managers to keep accurate counts of incoming components. This helps to ensure the right counts of components in production processes, which avoids unnecessary delays due to missing components.
