Abstract
A control system for controlling the quantities of items of a product includes: a) a weighing scale; b) a memory storage device storing data of a target associated to the weight of at least one item; and c) a processor in communication with the weighing scale and the memory storage device. The processor is configured to output a sensory indicator corresponding to the weight of at least one of the items placed on the weighing scale. The sensory indicator provides a different sensory indication when the weight of at least one of item placed on the weighing scale is above, below or between the target.
