Counting Scale
Categories: Operation and Production,
—a special scale used to determine quantities (rather than just weight). The basic scale function is the same as other types of scales, however a counting scale will have functionality to calculate a piece weight based on a sample and then use that piece weight to count product based on total weight. The basic process with a counting scale is to place an empty container on the scale, press the tare button to zero out the scale, count out a sample and place it in the container, tell the scale the size of the sample, count another sample to verify accuracy, then dump the rest of the product into the container to get the full count. I cover the use of counting scales in more detail in my book inventory Accuracy: People, Processes, & Technology
