Regardless of the size or number of incoming items counting scales verify the quantities received and provide accurate results
in less time. Barcode scanners recall article
information for immediate counting and
transactions are stored in the scale embedded database for statistical analysis.
Smart weighing and counting solutions keep
track of stock movements, ensure flawless
goods storage and help you avoid out-ofstock situations through direct integration
into ERP systems. Mobile counting scales
facilitate and speed up commissioning.

Easy Operation
Avoid Errors, Speed up Processes
Straightforward manual operation increases efficiency and accuracy in
piece counting. METTLER TOLEDO scales feature advanced, easy to use
counting applications. Operators just have to count the sample pieces,
place them on the platform, press the predefined sample key and start
counting immediately.
Avoid Errors
Increase Speed
Save Time
Intuitive user menus prevent
operator errors and fatigue during routine tasks. Configurable
softkeys allow fast access to key
functions at a keystroke. Users
are guided through the counting
task in their language.
While counting pieces using
a weighing system, operators
typically have to concentrate
intensely on the terminal display,
slowing down their process. The
colorWeight® function indicates,
using different colors, when the
target is reached. This spares the
operator’s concentration, speeds
up the task and saves time and
money.
In order to reduce wasteful
transportation time, distances
between the picking place and
the counting scale need to be
reduced. Mobile scales with
rechargeable batteries and wireless communication do a perfect
job. For further comfort and to
ease operators work the best ergonomic position of the counting
scale can be chosen: compact,
with column or table model.
Key Features & Benefits:
 Fast access to key functions at a
keystroke
 Easy database entry or recall with
barcode scanner or external keyboard
 Immediate indication if target count is
reached with colorWeight® display
 Selectable languages: English, Chinese,
German, Spanish, French, Italian
 User profiles with dedicated functions
such as assigned softkeys, language,
user prompting or locked hard keys
Reduce Errors when Determining
Average Piece Weights
Counting large quantities for reference (sample)
determination by hand is tedious and opens possibility to errors. However, sampling 30 or more parts
increases counting accuracy. With the Automatic
Reference Optimization feature the scale assists
the user in achieving a more accurate result with
less errors. The operator hand counts 10 pieces
and establishes the average piece weight. Then
the operator places a few more pieces on the scale
after which the Reference Optimization function will
automatically recalculate the more accurate average
piece weight.

Automate Your Counting Task
Reduce inefficient transportation to packaging stations and significantly reduce your staff’s involvement in parts counting with semi-automated counting directly at the production machine. Scales can
control third party devices such as conveyor belts
and stop or redirect parts filling as soon as the target
piece count is reached. They also can alert operators by controlling external light or audible alarms.
Tolerance such as target count or the average piece
weight can be automatically called up from the
article database by simply scanning a barcode or
selecting an article ID.
 Pre-defined and user-definable
printing templates
 PC-software DatabICS to easily
configure the scale

Accuracy Counts
Reliable Results from the Start
The concept of piece counting with a scale is quite simple. Counting accurately and efficiently can be a challenge. Errors occur when various factors influence the counting process, such as piece weight variation. Proper
sampling and high-precision reference scales deliver accurate quantities
from the start.
Dealing with Piece
Weight Deviation
Highest Accuracy for
Reliable Results
Precise Counting from
1 mg to 3,000 kg
Piece weight deviation is one
of the most frequent sources of
counting errors. Piece weights
can differ due to the use of different machines, tool wear,
raw material inconsistencies or
changing environmental conditions. If parts have a high deviation of more than 1 percent,
the counting error can be cut in
half by increasing the number of
reference (sample) parts for example from 10 to 30 pieces.
Accurate average piece weight
determination is dependent on the
appropriate counting resolution of
the counting scale. To achieve a
high counting resolution, the quality of the weighing electronics in
terms of repeatability needs to be
superior. METTLER TOLEDO counting scales feature proven counting
resolutions of up to 1,200,000d,
allowing minimum reference
weights1) from 0.05 g with a process tolerance of 1%.
The lightest and heaviest parts
influence the type of counting
scales required. When counting a
variety of parts, a two-scale system provides accuracy and flexibility. To precisely determine the
average piece weights, connect a
0.1 mg reference scale and count
small pieces on a 0.6 kg to 6
kg scale. For medium weights,
connect a bench scale up to 600
kg, and for heavy weights, use a
floor scale for up to 3,000 kg.
Key Features & Benefits:
 High-resolution reference (sample) scales
precisely determine the minimum reference weight1)
 Automatic Reference Optimization
increases counting accuracy by adding
number of reference pieces without handcounting
 Multiple scale solutions increase the
accuracy and flexibility to count a variety
of parts with one system
Accurate Reference Weight
Accurate reference (sample) weight determination has a great effect on counting accuracy. Using a high-precision scale to weigh samples significantly increases counting accuracy. Investing
in a suitable reference scale pays back, as mistakes made here translate to big counting errors
later. Furthermore, a smaller minimum reference
weight allows for counting lighter piece weights
and/or reduces the number of reference pieces.
The fewer reference pieces to count, the faster
and less error prone your counting process.
