Watch the future of retail — LIVE from GITEX Kenya AI Everything! Scalestech, in partnership with Aclas, showcased two game-changing innovations transforming how modern retailers operate

Why Choose Aclas Weighing Scales in Kenya

Aclas is a Taiwan-headquartered manufacturer of retail weighing scales and point-of-sale hardware that has become one of the fastest-growing brands in East Africa's retail technology sector, prized for combining accurate load-cell weighing with built-in thermal printing, barcode scanning, and full POS functionality in a single unit. For a Kenyan retailer, that combination matters in practice: a supermarket in Nairobi's Westlands or a butchery in Mombasa's Likoni market doesn't need three separate devices at the counter — a scale, a receipt printer, and a till — when a single Aclas LS2X or CS6X unit does all three, saves counter space, and reduces the number of points of failure at checkout.

Scalestech's relationship with Aclas goes beyond stocking the catalogue. In 2026, Scalestech and Aclas jointly exhibited at GITEX Kenya AI Everything, showcasing two AI-driven retail innovations — a live demonstration of how image-recognition scales are moving Kenyan retail away from manual PLU lookups toward automatic produce identification at the till. That kind of manufacturer partnership is a genuine trust signal: it means Scalestech's technical team is trained directly on new Aclas releases before they reach general distribution, and Kenyan buyers get first access to models like the iS2X, IS5X, and IL8X AI label scales rather than waiting for grey-market imports to arrive months later through third-party marketplaces.

Every Aclas scale supplied by Scalestech is calibrated against the requirements of the Weights and Measures Act Cap. 513 before dispatch, which matters directly for compliance: a butchery or supermarket in Kenya using an uncalibrated or unverified scale for pricing by weight is exposed to enforcement action from the Weights and Measures Department, regardless of how accurate the scale's internal electronics claim to be. Buying from an authorized distributor with a KENAS ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited calibration lab closes that compliance gap at the point of purchase.

Our Aclas Product Range

Scalestech's Aclas catalogue spans four practical groups: label printing scales for produce and deli counters, AI image-recognition scales for high-throughput fresh food retail, cash register and price-computing scales for general retail checkout, and POS terminals and peripherals that either integrate with a scale or run standalone. The sections below cover the models currently listed on this page.

Aclas Label Printing Scales (LS2X, TS5X, LH15X)

The Aclas LS2X Label Printing Scale (available with or without display pole) and the touchscreen TS5X are the workhorses of Kenyan produce and deli counters, printing adhesive weight-and-price labels directly at the point of weighing — the format most supermarkets and larger butcheries in Nairobi and Kisumu now expect for pre-packed fresh produce, meat, and bakery items. The LH15X extends the same label-printing function to a hanging-scale format, suited to markets and cold-room environments where a benchtop unit isn't practical, such as wholesale fish landing sites near Lake Victoria or produce aggregation points feeding Nairobi's Wakulima Market.

Aclas AI Image Recognition Scales (iS2X, IS5X, IL8X)

The iS2X, IS5X, and IL8X use camera-based image recognition to identify loose fruit, vegetables, and bakery items automatically as they're placed on the platform, removing the need for a cashier to manually search a PLU code list — a genuine speed and accuracy improvement at busy tills where mis-keyed PLUs are a common source of pricing disputes. This is the product line Scalestech and Aclas demonstrated live at GITEX Kenya AI Everything, and it represents the leading edge of what “smart retail” weighing looks like for Kenyan supermarkets moving away from fully manual checkout processes.

Aclas Cash Register & Price Computing Scales (CS6X, PS6X)

The CS6X Cash Register Scale combines a price-computing scale with a built-in cash drawer interface and receipt printing, aimed at shops that want a single till-side unit rather than a separate scale and POS terminal. The PS6X Price Computing Scale, sold with a display pole, is the simpler and most budget-accessible entry point in the range, suited to smaller dukas, market stalls, and secondary counters where full POS integration isn't required but accurate, customer-visible pricing by weight still is.

Aclas POS Terminals & Peripherals (AO6X, AO4X, PO6X, AOWX, KP7X)

Beyond weighing, Scalestech's Aclas range includes the AO6X and AO4X all-in-one Android POS terminals, the PO6X Windows PC POS terminal for businesses running Windows-based retail software, the AOWX handheld POS terminal with a built-in printer for queue-busting and mobile checkout, and the KP7X kitchen printer for routing orders from a front-of-house POS to a kitchen or bar in restaurants and cafés. Together with Scalestech's POS software solutions, these units let a single Aclas-equipped counter run weighing, checkout, receipting, and kitchen order routing without stitching together hardware from multiple vendors.

How to Choose the Right Aclas Scale for Your Business

Start with your primary use case rather than your budget: a butchery or produce counter that needs a printed price label on every item should look first at the LS2X, TS5X, or LH15X label printing scales, while a general retail till that mainly needs accurate weight-based pricing without a printed label can be well served by the more affordable PS6X. If your business is processing high volumes of loose fresh produce and wants to reduce cashier PLU errors, the AI image-recognition line (iS2X, IS5X, IL8X) is the better long-term investment despite the higher upfront cost, because it removes a recurring source of till-side mistakes rather than just speeding up a manual process. For businesses that need a single counter device handling weighing, receipting, and card or mobile-money payment together, the CS6X or an Aclas POS terminal paired with a compatible scale is the more integrated choice. Finally, factor in connectivity: if you plan to integrate with existing POS or inventory software, confirm whether you need the Windows-based PO6X or an Android terminal like the AO6X or AO4X before ordering, since software compatibility differs between the two platforms.
