The AutoScale Redefines Retail Scale Technology
Designed around the simple concept of a friction-free transaction experience, the AutoScale is a leap into the future of retail. Embracing the efficiency of enterprise automation, it works seamlessly with all other transaction touchpoints in your store without the need for middleware.
SPECSSpecifications for Every Use Case
Hardware Configurations
Bench Model
One associate-facing touch display, one customer-facing non-touch display. Displays at level with the scale. Ideal for taller, customer facing counters like a traditional deli case.
Post Model
One associate-facing touch display, one customer-facing non-touch display that sits on a pole mount above the scale. Ideal for hip-height, customer-facing counters.
Single Model
One touch display on a pole above the scale. Ideal for non-customer-facing applications like backroom weighing, labeling, and inventory adjustments.
At-a-Glance Features
Built to Last
When it comes to computing power, the AutoScale towers over comparable digital scales. More power = fewer resources used; fewer resources used = longer life.
No Middleware
Because the AutoScale is a native CATAPULT touchpoint, there is no need for middleware like E-Plum. The AutoScale connects directly to your point of sale database.
GS1 Capable
Using some of the most advanced symbology available, the AutoScale can pack Net Weight, Item ID, Pack Date, and Price data into a single barcode
Quick-Change Labels
Quick change label cassettes allow you to spend less time fighting with label spools and more time getting products on display.

“In terms of our WebCart picking process, the AutoScale is huge...To have something that is hooked up to CATAPULT and is receiving immediate updates on prices is great because it ensures the updated options are there for our pickers, and that those changes are reflected immediately. There is no way we would have been able to do that with a third party scale.”
ADAMS FAIRACRE FARMS
"The AutoScale works quite well in our high-volume deli department. The POS screen and item group configurations are a leap forward. Since it works as a CATAPULT terminal, we have eliminated the need for E-PLUM, and item updates are now in real time. We will be using the AutoScale in all of our locations!"
MARCZYK FINE FOODS
"Seamless integration with CATAPULT makes the Autoscale a must-have. It is the centerpiece for any high functioning deli or kitchen. Wireless syncing makes Autoscale placement and deployment very easy. Keep the people with all the knives and fire happy...Buy an Autoscale today!"
HEALTHY LIVING MARKET & CAFE
"For us, the AutoScale was a must-have for accurate and efficient picking of produce items for WebCart transactions. Without it, products were walked back and forth from the front end. The self-updating function is awesome as compared to our legacy scales that need a push a few times daily."
REDNER'S MARKET
"We had a traditional standalone scale for years. Adding the AutoScale to our equipment allowed for autonomy and increased efficiency for our Deli staff in accessing it through CATAPULT. In addition, our inventory is more accurate now that transfers can be accomplished through the AutoScale.
