Many businesses have to determine the weight of the commodities they sale. For instance, butchers and those who sell cereals must weigh products to ensure that customers get what they have paid for.
This activity could be performed using ether digital versus manual weighing equipment.

From a business perspective, what are the merits and demerits of using these 2 types of weighing apparatuses?

I would take a digital weighing balance for my any day and any time. It has shown to be more accurate and it takes measurements even as small as decimal points.

Nowadays, most people use digital weighing equipment. It is more accurate and can measure smaller increments of weight. It may be a bit more expensive but I think it's worth it.

I guess customers also prefer digital weighing equipment, primarily owing to the ability to measure small increments of weight.
I have noted that businesses engaging in selling meat nowadays sell as few as 100 grams of the commodity. This offering is super convenient to customers.

Digital weighing equipment is better thanb manual otherwise called analog weighing equipment. Most digital weighing equipments are portable in nature and computerized. They give accurate measurement to the points of last digits than analog weighing scales.

I think the best thing is to go for the one that is more accurate. And also the one that would be less stressful. In this case the digital one might be better.

While a digital weighing machine may be considered less stressful than an analogue version, it comes with certain unique challenges as it is bound to be prone to damage. This is not the case with a manual weighing machine as it is not digital.

Also one of the drawbacks for the digital weighing scale is that it solely depends on the electrical energy for it function. However in times of power outages it becomes a very stressful thing.

I don't think there is any disadvantages of making use of either of them because the most important thing is for you to get the weight result of the item you are trying to weigh.

That's one of the advantage of a manual weighing machine over a digital scale, but in a case whereby the digital weighing scale is not working due to lack of power source , then the manual scale could be used In this case.

A digital scale would give you measurement correct to the 0.01. If you are sure you want to be precise about measurements in your business, the digital scale should be preferred.

The digital scale only uses battery and not selectivity. The manual scale cannot measure grams and it is difficult for a newbie to read and understand. And one can easily be cheated with a manual scale because it calibration can be altered.

I hope it's therefore a great idea for the businessmen to have both of the digital weighing scale and the manual one. This can help them during power outages.

No doubt, digital weighing machine can be very useful and very advantageous, but sometimes there could be some sort of limits, because some are powered by electricity or solar, so what happens when all those things are not in place?
