Are electronic weighing scales in the Philippines better?

 

A comparison of electronic weighing scales and analog/traditional scales

Analog scales have been a popular  weighing machine for a long time, but have you considered shifting to electronic weighing scales in the Philippines? Here are some key differentiators of digital scales for you to look into.

Reliability

When we talk about weighing scales, reliability is defined by the ability of the scale to provide accurate measurement.  Mechanical or analog scales are easy to set up but its interface may not be as friendly as the ones we see on electronic weighing scales. Most electronic weighing scales, on the other hand, are capable of providing readings for various measurements such as pounds, kilograms, grams, and other smaller units of measurements that mechanical or analog scales may  not be capable of. Electronic weighing scales are perfect for several industries in the Philippines.

Portability

Remember how televisions have evolved from bulky structures to thin TVs?  Developments in weighing scales have produced more advanced products such as digital scales. Now, business owners are offered with options aside from analog scales that are bulky because of their spring and other mechanical parts.

Electronic or digital scales are available in various sizes but all are equally portable.  This is perhaps the most noticeable differentiator of electronic weighing scales–lightweight design.  Add this to the first differentiator, having electronic scales is like having a smartphone–compact and powerful.

Technology and Durability

Electronic scales function in sensors and batteries, but may not be as durable as analog scales. However, analog scales tend to be faulty through the years of usage due to rusty spring mechanism and exposure to moisture.  Additionally, electronic scales tend to be adaptive as they do not need calibration, therefore giving a more accurate measurement.

Caveat: Are electronic weighing scales in the Philippines better?

The constant answer to this type of question is: IT DEPENDS.  Finding the perfect scale should depend on the expected application/usage.  A better way to do it is to invest in both analog and digital scales so that you can have a backup and at the same time a verifier of measurement.
