When it comes to reading out the information your electronic scale produces, you have two options: analog or digital. There are several advantages to using a digital readout, as follows:
Analog displays do not provide accurate readings. The position of the readings can be interpreted, meaning that users of different scales can give different readings even though the weight of the item has not changed.
Digital scales can be configured to provide precise resolution as required. For example, if you need weights accurate to the pound, your scale can usually be configured to do so. If you need a more precise figure - say down to a tenth of an ounce, that's possible too.
Many types of digital scales can switch between different measurement systems, such as imperial (used in the US) or metric (used in Europe). If similar analog scales do not have dual displays, the conversion is a manual task that is time consuming and introduces a higher probability of human error.
The digital display presents the exact weight of the object without interpretation, giving precise and accurate results. Regardless of who is using the scale, all operators will give the same result for the same item being weighed.
Digital displays are increasingly software-based and can often be wired or wirelessly connected to invoicing accounting or inventory control software. This not only eliminates data entry time but also eliminates the possibility of operator error when entering numbers into the system.
If a direct connection to the software is not possible, the information provided by the digital scale can be stored internally and sent to a storage device such as a USB stick. The information can then be transmitted to where it is needed.
