The Digi DC-782 is probably the better overall choice, especially for non-portable applications. The scale features double the warranty and it also has an internal buzzer. The keypad is easier to understand as well.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6188\" data-end=\"6281\">However, if you&#8217;re looking for a less expensive portable parts counting choice, the UWE OAC series is probably a lighter weight choice that would be better. Remember, the DC-782 is 110VAC powered. The battery is optional. The good news is that we offer both product lines, the OAC and the DC-782 series.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"6852\" data-end=\"6855\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"6857\" data-end=\"6902\">FAQ: UWE OAC vs Digi DC-782 Counting Scales<\/h3>\n<h4 data-start=\"6904\" data-end=\"6964\">1. Which scale is more accurate for counting small parts?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"6965\" data-end=\"7148\">Both of these counting scales are fairly comparable. The key with either of these scales would be to obtain an accurate initial sample and average piece weight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"7150\" data-end=\"7153\" \/>\n<h4 data-start=\"7155\" data-end=\"7205\">2. Which scale is better for physical inventory?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"7206\" data-end=\"7306\">Both of these scales would likely work ok. One thing worth noting is the DC-782 offers a buzzer which can be useful when you&#8217;re trying to count a certain number of items.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"7308\" data-end=\"7311\" \/>\n<h4 data-start=\"7313\" data-end=\"7360\">3. Which scale has better memory capability?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"7361\" data-end=\"7427\">The Digi DC-782 can store 25 items, compared to 8 PLUs on the OAC.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"7429\" data-end=\"7432\" \/>\n<h4 data-start=\"7434\" data-end=\"7478\">4. Which scale is better for portability?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"7479\" data-end=\"7581\">This is a trick question. The Digi DC-782 offers longer battery life (300 hours vs. 200 hours), making it better for mobile use. However, the battery is optional! Out of the box, the OAC might be better.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"7583\" data-end=\"7586\" \/>\n<h4 data-start=\"7588\" data-end=\"7644\">5. Which scale is better for industrial environments?<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"7645\" data-end=\"7792\">I would not refer to either of these as truly industrial counting scales. The ABS enclosures and price point lets you know that these are entry level or mid range parts counting scales.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which One Is Right for Your Parts Counting?
