CAS SW-10RS POS Weight Scale with External Display

The CAS SW-10RS POS Weight Scale is a digital weighing scale designed specifically for use in Point of Sale (POS) systems, primarily in retail environments such as grocery stores, delis, bakeries, and other businesses where products are sold by weight. The SW-10RS model includes an external display for both the customer and the cashier to see the weight and price of products, and it is equipped to work seamlessly with POS systems to streamline weighing, pricing, and transaction processes.

Key Features of the CAS SW-10RS POS Weight Scale:

1. External Customer Display:

   • The CAS SW-10RS features a dual-display system, with one screen for the cashier and an external display for the customer. This allows both parties to view the weight of the item and the corresponding price, ensuring transparency during the transaction.

   • The customer-facing display shows the weight, unit price, and total price in a clear and readable format, helping to build trust and enhance the customer experience.

2. Durable Design:

   • The SW-10RS is built with a durable structure, designed to handle the everyday wear and tear of a busy retail environment. It is ideal for high-volume operations where items are constantly being weighed and sold.

   • The scale is typically designed for heavy-duty use, ensuring it operates reliably in demanding environments.

3. Precise Weighing:

   • The scale provides accurate and reliable weight measurement, which is essential when pricing items by weight. It ensures that customers are charged fairly based on the actual weight of the product.

   • It has high accuracy and quick response times, which are important for maintaining a smooth and fast checkout process.

4. Weight and Price Integration:

   • The CAS SW-10RS is designed to integrate with POS software. Once the weight of the product is measured, the scale sends the weight data to the POS system, which automatically calculates the price based on the Price Look-Up (PLU) codes stored in the system.

   • It helps automate the process of calculating the total price for weighed items, reducing errors and speeding up checkout times.

5. PLU Functionality:

   • PLU (Price Look-Up) is a feature that allows the POS system to retrieve the correct price for items based on the weight measured by the scale. The scale itself can send the weight measurement to the POS system, and the POS software will use the PLU code to determine the price per unit (e.g., per kilogram or per pound).

   • Each product (or product category) can be associated with a unique PLU code in the POS system. This is especially useful for managing a large number of items sold by weight, such as produce, meats, or deli products.

6. Connectivity:

   • The CAS SW-10RS typically connects to the POS system via serial communication (RS232) or USB, allowing seamless integration with the POS software. Once connected, the scale sends the weight data to the POS terminal for processing.

7. Tare Function:

   • The scale includes a tare function, which allows users to subtract the weight of packaging or containers from the total weight. For example, if a product is placed in a bag, the tare function ensures that the weight of the bag is not included in the pricing.

8. Multiple Weight Units:

   • The CAS SW-10RS supports multiple weight units, including pounds (lbs), kilograms (kg), and grams (g), making it adaptable for different regions and business needs.

How the CAS SW-10RS Works with PLU Codes in a POS System:

1. Weighing the Product:

   • The employee places the product to be sold on the weighing platform of the CAS SW-10RS. The scale measures the weight of the product in real-time and displays it on the internal and external customer display.

   • For example, if the customer is buying apples by weight, the employee would place the apples on the scale, and the weight would be shown on the screen.

2. PLU Lookup:

   • Once the weight is registered, the POS system will use the PLU code associated with the specific product or product category. The PLU is a unique identifier linked to a price per unit of weight.

   • The cashier may either manually select the PLU for the product from the POS interface (e.g., searching through a list or typing in a code) or the system may automatically recognize the PLU through product setup.

     • For example, the apples may have a PLU of 1234, which corresponds to a unit price of $2 per kilogram.

3. Price Calculation:

   • Once the weight is transmitted to the POS system and the PLU is selected, the system calculates the total price for the item by multiplying the weight (measured by the scale) by the price per unit (associated with the PLU).

   • For instance, if the scale shows the weight of the apples as 1.5 kg and the PLU for apples is $2 per kg, the total price will be $3 (1.5 kg × $2).

4. Tare Function:

   • If the apples are in a bag, the cashier can press the tare button to subtract the weight of the bag. The tare function ensures that only the weight of the apples is included in the price calculation.

5. Finalizing the Sale:

   • The POS system then processes the total price, and the cashier can continue the transaction by accepting payment. The weight and price will be shown on the receipt or displayed in the POS system.

   • The external display allows the customer to verify the weight and price, improving transparency during the checkout process.

6. Inventory and Sales Tracking:

   • The POS system, integrated with the scale, helps track inventory levels and sales data. It updates the inventory based on the items sold, including weight-based products, and generates reports on sales and product performance.

Benefits of Using the CAS SW-10RS POS Weight Scale with PLU Integration:

1. Accuracy:

   • The integration of the scale with the POS system ensures that weight-based pricing is always accurate, minimizing errors in price calculation and ensuring that customers are charged fairly.

2. Efficiency:

   • The system automates the process of weighing, pricing, and transaction processing, which speeds up the checkout process and improves customer service. Employees don’t have to manually calculate prices based on weight.

3. Customer Transparency:

   • With the external display, customers can see the weight of the product, the price per unit, and the total cost in real time, making the transaction more transparent and improving trust in the process.

4. Flexible PLU Management:

   • The ability to link products to specific PLU codes makes it easier to manage a large variety of products. This is especially useful in businesses where different items are sold by weight (e.g., produce, meats, bulk goods).

5. Tare Functionality:

   • The tare function ensures that packaging or container weights are excluded from the final price, ensuring the customer only pays for the product itself.

6. Reduced Errors:

   • The integration between the weight scale and the POS system eliminates the need for manual price calculations, reducing the likelihood of human error.

7. Compliance:

   • The CAS SW-10RS is typically certified as legal for trade, ensuring it meets the standards set by regulatory authorities for commercial transactions based on weight. This ensures the business complies with legal requirements in pricing.

Conclusion:

The CAS SW-10RS POS Weight Scale is an efficient and reliable digital scale designed for use in retail environments, offering precise weighing, a customer-facing display, and seamless integration with a POS system. Its use of PLU (Price Look-Up) codes allows for fast and accurate price calculation based on the weight of products, ensuring that customers are charged appropriately. The tare function, external display, and durable design make it an excellent choice for businesses that sell products by weight, and it improves the overall efficiency, accuracy, and customer experience in retail transactions.
