What is a counting scale?

A counting scale weighs a sample of identical small parts, then uses that average unit weight to calculate the total number of items on the platform, rather than counting them by hand. This makes light work of inventory that would otherwise take far too long to count one by one.

SmartLabs stocks counting scales suited to stock rooms, small parts inventory and any setting where accurate item counts save real time.
