A scale for weighing an item and determining a price for the item includes a
weighing
station for receiving the item, the weighing station producing at least one weight
indicative signal. A scale controller receives the weight indicative signal and
determines the price for the item based upon the weight indicative signal. A remote
interface link includes associated communication software. A web server associated
with the controller serves user interface web page data to the remote interface
link for transfer to a remotely located device. Advanced functions such as a monitoring
function and service functions may be enabled by remote connection to the scale
via the remote interface link.
