<strong>Piece</strong> <strong>counting</strong><br />
What really counts<br />
in your processes?
<strong>Piece</strong> <strong>counting</strong><br />
2<br />
How can you find the right piece <strong>counting</strong><br />
scales for your needs?<br />
Did you know that even pieces that appear to be identical may have different weights? Different weight is caused<br />
by production tolerances, material stock, tooling machines and operators. The average piece weight must there-<br />
fore be determined with extreme accuracy using a suitable, precise scale. A small error in this value is multiplied<br />
when <strong>counting</strong> bulk volumes. The following procedure will help you make the right selection.<br />

Determine the average single piece weight:<br />
First you must determine the mean value of the single piece weight. To do this, individually weigh 10 pieces of the<br />
parts to be counted and enter each of the individual piece weights into their own cell in MS Excel ® . Calculate the<br />
average weight by adding all 10 weights and then dividing by 10. Using Excel‘s function for standard deviation,<br />
you can then calculate the absolute standard deviation in grams and the relative standard deviation as a percentage.<br />
Define the maximum weighing range of your piece <strong>counting</strong> scales:<br />
Weigh the heaviest pieces to be counted. Multiply this weight by the maximum number of pieces to be counted in<br />
the same process. This will give you the maximum net weight. The maximum gross weight is the sum of the<br />
maximum net weight and the weight of the heaviest tare container. It may not exceed the weighing range of the scale.<br />
Now find the right piece <strong>counting</strong> scales:<br />
Using the information on the weighing range, the smallest piece weight and its standard deviation, you can now<br />
find the right piece <strong>counting</strong> scale or the right two-scale system in the overview on the following page.<br />
Select the performance level of the display, keyboard and software:<br />
• If you require completely simple yet professional operation using one function for each key, then select an<br />
IND435 terminal or one of the compact scales BBA432 or BBK432.<br />
• If you want to easily and safely count many identical portions, then select an IND445/IND449check+ or<br />
a BBA442/BBA449check+/BBK442. You also can enter the tare value using the numeric keyboard.<br />
• Compact scales BBA462, BBK462 as well as IND465/IND449check+ and IND690count also include a<br />
graphic and plain text display for easy administration of up to 1500 memory locations<br />
(IND690count: 999 memory locations). They support printing of different labels or customized labels.<br />
• The IND690count terminal provides easy operability and first-class functionality. The large and bright<br />
BigWeight ® graphic display guides the user correctly through the <strong>counting</strong> process.<br />
Details on the displays, keyboards and interfaces can be found on pages 4–5.<br />
Select the right-sized model:<br />
• The BBK4x2 and BBA4x2 models are space-saving compact scales.<br />
• If you would like the display to be at the side, in front of or over the piece container, then select one of<br />
the IND terminals.<br />
• Determine the size and model of the floor scale. Decide whether to install the weighing platform in a pit<br />
or if it is to be directly fixed to the floor.<br />
• Select a Series 4 model if you wish to operate the scale with batteries and/or as a mobile unit, e.g. on a cart.<br />
Possible models and their details are given on pages 6–7.

The right solution for every job<br />
IND690count: the robust and intelligent <strong>counting</strong> system<br />
• The robust and versatile IND690count stainless steel terminal is IP69k-protected and is therefore also suitable<br />
for use in the harshest industrial environments – with a matching, robust industrial GA46 printer contained<br />
in stainless steel housing for printing barcodes.<br />
• The large, bright, high-contrast ”BigWeight ® “ display allows <strong>counting</strong> results to be easily read without tiring<br />
your eyes – even at large distances and in poorly lit conditions.<br />
• Up to four weighing platforms can be connected, this allows high-resolution, precise weighing ranges of<br />
0.1 mg to 6000 kg/0.0000002 lb to 12,000 lb using just one IND690count terminal.<br />
• The integrated database provides 999 flexible storage locations for part data.<br />
• The IND690count terminal can be connected to a warehouse management system via Ethernet TCP/IP, Profibus DP,<br />
DeviceNet, USB, Bluetooth, WLAN, RS232, RS422, RS485, digital inputs/outputs and RFID, making it the central<br />
tool for registering incoming/outgoing goods and for inventory management.<br />
Intelligent commissioning and portioning using BBK462, BBA462 and IND465<br />
• The bright graphic display avoids misunderstandings, as it guides the user through the <strong>counting</strong> process using<br />
plain text instructions.<br />
• An integrated database with 1,500 flexible storage locations allows part data to be managed easily.<br />
• Barcode scanners are used to ensure error-free, efficient part selection.<br />
• Monotonous work, such as filling many identical packaging units, can be done efficiently. The filling guide informs<br />
the user when the target has been reached. Underfilling or overfilling is therefore avoided.<br />
• Free design of barcode print-outs on labels, e.g., with name of company, address, alphanumerical part ID, date,<br />
time, variables, lot ID and order number.<br />
• Can be integrated into existing systems using Ethernet TCP/IP and digital inputs/outputs.<br />
• A second scale can be connected for larger volumes or for exact piece weight sampling.<br />
Correct Order filling using BBK442, BBA442, IND445, BBA449check+, IND449check+<br />
• Tedious work, such as filling many identical packaging units, is simplified, as the filling guide informs the user<br />
when the target has been reached. The BBA449check+ has the colorWeight ® function. It supports the operator<br />
with a color change of the display if the target weight is reached. Underfilling or overfilling is therefore avoided.<br />
• Comes with a database of 99 flexible storage locations for target counts with tolerances and tare values.<br />
• Flexible print-outs with name of company, address, and numerical part ID. The part ID can be entered using the scale<br />
keyboard or a barcode reader.<br />
• A second scale can be connected for large volumes or for exact piece weight sampling to BBK442, BBA442 and IND445.<br />
• The tare values can be entered on the keyboard.<br />
Simple, safe and professional: BBK432, BBA432, IND435<br />
• Secure entry due to allocation of one single function to each key minimizes operator error.<br />
• Keys and display have been optimized simply and without compromise for <strong>counting</strong>.<br />
• Password-protected settings.<br />
• A second scale can be connected for large volumes or for exact piece weight sampling.

MonoBloc provides the highest rate of <strong>counting</strong><br />
precision and repeatability – for reliable results.<br />
The BBK4x2 scales and K-Line weighing platforms<br />
are equipped with unique MonoBloc technology<br />
for maximum repeatability and precision of weighing<br />
and <strong>counting</strong> results.<br />
Their high measuring resolution allows for a high<br />
weighing range at a very high rate of precision,<br />
linearity and repeatability. Generally, this means:<br />
MonoBloc is 10–20 times more accurate than<br />
strain gauge technology.<br />
RefOpt: User-friendly, precise determination<br />
of piece weights<br />
Using the “automatic reference optimization“ function,<br />
you can count easily, efficiently and correctly.<br />
The scale continuously optimizes the piece weight.<br />
Interfaces<br />
Depending on the model, the METTLER TOLEDO<br />

Reliable numbers for incoming goods<br />
facilitate seamless production<br />
Precise weighing and <strong>counting</strong><br />
from 1 mg to 6000 kg<br />
METTLER TOLEDO has a range of<br />
scales that cover all <strong>counting</strong> and<br />
weighing requirements for incoming<br />
goods. The incoming goods area<br />
of a company is often very hectic.<br />
Depending on the situation, many<br />
deliveries are often accepted and<br />
checked at the same time. Packages<br />
have different sizes, ranging from<br />
containers, through pallets, right<br />
down to smaller packages and even<br />
letters with small consignments.<br />
The weighing technology used for<br />
incoming goods must therefore cover<br />
a wide range from 0.000002 to<br />
12,000 lb. In certain circumstances,<br />
as many as 10,000 pieces must be<br />
counted within one package. Precise<br />
weighing down to the last and even<br />
lightest piece requires a precision<br />
bench scale. Counting pieces that are<br />
delivered on pallets or in bulk containers<br />
require high capacity scales.<br />
BigWeight ® display –<br />
never get fatigued<br />
The bright, high-contrast graphic<br />
display of the IND690count,<br />
provides the user with legible in-<br />
structions and information. The patented<br />
BigWeight ® function is unique.<br />
It allows you to avoid reading errors<br />
and premature fatigue. The keys,<br />
which are uniquely labeled for piece<br />
<strong>counting</strong>, enable efficient work<br />
and help prevent operator errors.<br />
Robust industrial equipment<br />
In the shipping and receiving area,<br />
awkward and heavy packages<br />
are transported manually, with a<br />
fork-lift truck, a hand-truck<br />
or even a crane. METTLER TOLEDO<br />
scales withstand these condi-<br />
tions due to their high overload<br />
protection. Their terminals are<br />
protected up to IP69k and continue<br />
to work reliably even in dusty<br />
or damp environments.
Several printers connectable<br />
Several label printers can be connected<br />
to the IND690. This increases<br />
efficiency if you need several label<br />
sizes. The layout and configuration of<br />
the label size can be stored directly<br />
on the printer. You don’t need an<br />
additional IT system just for printing.<br />
Always the correct scale, with<br />
multiple connection capabilities<br />
Always count and weigh on the right<br />
scale and at the right place.<br />
Up to four scales can be connected to<br />
an IND690count terminal.<br />
Network capable<br />
The data recorded via the barcode<br />
readers, keyboards or RFID<br />
readers can be transferred to an<br />
IND690count terminal via RS232,<br />
USB or Bluetooth. The data is then<br />
transferred via Ethernet TCP/IP or<br />
Profibus to the ERP system or the<br />
PLC. The IND690count terminal then<br />
assumes the function of a local<br />
network node with user guidance.<br />
Greater efficiency with a database<br />
The IND690count has a database with 999 storage<br />
locations for the part ID, piece weight, tare weight<br />
and target weight with tolerances. The stored values<br />
can be called up by barcode reader or keyboard.<br />
The database can be easily edited and stored<br />
on the computer using the “COUNT Tool“ software<br />
and loaded onto the IND690count.<br />

<strong>Piece</strong> <strong>counting</strong><br />
10<br />
Every piece is important –<br />
in the warehouse, when taking inventory,<br />
order filling and shipping goods<br />
User-friendly order filling<br />
with colorWeight ®<br />
Even if there is a large number of<br />
bags, order filling remains easy<br />
and efficient. The BBA449check+<br />
supports the operator with the<br />
colorWeight ® function in target<br />
weighing. The back-lit display of<br />
this <strong>counting</strong> scale can change its<br />
color from light blue to green,<br />
yellow or red. The limits for the color<br />
change can be set with the key<br />
board. It can change to one of the<br />
three colors after the preset number<br />
of parts is reached. The customer<br />
can determine which color he wants<br />
to allocate to which status.<br />
The scale can also signal the filling<br />
status to a machine with digital I/O.<br />
Target count not reached.<br />
Still far away from target.<br />
Target count not reached.<br />
Close to target.<br />
Target count reached, OK.<br />
Overfill.<br />
Target count exceeded.
Network capable<br />
Data recorded using barcode readers<br />
or keyboards can be transferred to<br />
the scale. The data is transferred via<br />
Ethernet TCP/IP to a computer or<br />
the ERP system. The compact scales<br />
BBA4x2, BBK4x2 or the IND4x5<br />
terminal assume the role of local network<br />
nodes.<br />
Greater efficiency with a database<br />
The IND465, BBA462 and BBK462<br />
models have a database with<br />
1500 storage locations. The storage<br />
locations offer enough space for<br />
the part ID, piece weight, tare weight<br />
and target weight with tolerances.<br />
The stored values can be called up<br />
by barcode reader or keyboard.<br />
The database can be easily edited,<br />
managed and stored on the computer<br />
using the “Smart Manager”<br />
program. It can also be used to<br />
download data to the scale.<br />
The “Smart Manager” even allows<br />
import/export of data files for<br />
use with MS Excel ® .<br />
Printers<br />
Select your ideal solution from<br />
a multitude of various label,<br />
strip and ticket printers. The print<br />
possibilities vary depending<br />
on the built-in application.<br />
Mobile <strong>counting</strong> in the order picking warehouse<br />
As it can be powered by battery, the scale can<br />
be operated on a cart. Compact scales BBK462<br />
and BBA462 have 1500 storage locations for<br />
target weight, tolerance, identification, piece weight<br />
and tare weight. Barcode readers, a keyboard or<br />
printer can be also connected. This keeps the scale<br />
mobile throughout the day and allows it to be<br />
used independently in the order picking warehouse.<br />

High-resolution<br />
two-scale system<br />
<strong>Piece</strong> weights vary from piece to piece. It depends on the machine, the day or the<br />
operator who has produced the parts. A small error when determining the average<br />
piece weight is multiplied when <strong>counting</strong> larger quantities. Therefore, when there<br />
is a large variation, the average piece weight must be determined using a greater<br />
number of reference pieces. You also require a high-resolution and high-precision<br />
reference scale.<br />
For very small parts, the AB104-S and AB304-S platforms are used. The AB104-S and<br />
AB304-S can be connected as reference scales or stand-alone scales to the IN690count,<br />
IND465, IND445, IND435 and IND449check+ <strong>counting</strong> terminals. They act as pure<br />
reference scales together with compact scale models BBK432, BBK442 and BBK465.<br />
This allows you to use all the features that make the METTLER TOLEDO scales so userfriendly<br />
and efficient with the highest resolution and precision.<br />
