A coin-operated scale at the pharmacy entrance isn't just a health device — it's a small but steady source of extra income that requires no time or involvement from staff. The customer inserts a coin, gets the reading, and the machine keeps working on its own, day after day.
How It Works — Self-Service with Coins
The customer inserts the set coin and the machine automatically measures weight, height, BMI, and blood pressure, displaying the results on the LCD screen within seconds. The coin mechanism is configurable to your preference — you can set it to match whatever coin value fits the price you want to charge for the service, without needing ongoing technical adjustments.
Why It's Worth It for Your Pharmacy (or Business)
Each use adds a small coin to the till, but with steady customer foot traffic, the amount adds up month after month with no extra operating cost. At the same time, the presence of the machine itself draws people toward the pharmacy entrance — someone who stops to get measured often ends up coming inside for something else too.
The okMed Scale — Specifications
This electronic scale combines weight, height, BMI, and blood pressure measurement in a single device, with a clear LCD display and a configurable coin mechanism. It's built for intensive public use — hundreds of measurements a month without losing accuracy.
Where Else You Can Place It
Beyond pharmacies, this scale works just as well in gyms, shopping centers, clinic waiting rooms, or high-foot-traffic stations — anywhere people wait or pass through regularly and are willing to pay a small coin for a quick measurement.
Practical Installation Tips
Place it in a visible spot, near the entrance or waiting area, not in a narrow walkway. Check and empty the coin box regularly, and put up a small sign with the service price so customers notice it right away without having to ask staff.
