An inclination of a weighing apparatus is automatically detected by the apparatus itself while preventing an increase in the number of components. In order to achieve the object described above, a weighing apparatus includes a weight sensor, a built-in weight to be loaded on the weight sensor, an adding/removing unit for adding/removing the built-in weight, a memory storing a theoretical value of the built-in weight, and an arithmetic processing unit, wherein the arithmetic processing unit includes an inclination angle computing unit configured to obtain an apparatus inclination angle from an arc-cosine of a weighing value of the built-in weight and the theoretical value of the built-in weight.

Inclination detecting method and apparatus for the same

A proposing an improvement in an installation environment of a weighing apparatus is made by including (a) a step of acquiring, weighed data of an object () to be weighed from a weighing sensor () together with time information, (b) a step of acquiring, environmental data together with time information, (c) a step of checking, with respect to the weighed data and the environmental data, whether an amount of change of the data per unit time or an average value of the data is less than or not less than a threshold with reference to a threshold database () and determining influence on the apparatus, and (d) a step of making a proposal on the installation environment for each result of the determination with reference to an improvement proposal database ().
