Abstract
A blending system is described for preparing a blended mixture. The blending system includes a control system having at least a processor, a computer-readable memory, and a display, wherein the memory contains software configured to receive a formula defining instructions for preparing a blended mixture using one or more blending materials and amounts recommended for the blended mixture using a scale. The blending system further includes management software stored in the computer-readable memory and executed by the control system, the software in communication with the control system to exchange information on customers and formulas blended mixtures associated with the customers. Additionally, the control system includes software configured to calculate information associated with the blended mixture when an input received by the control system indicates an amount that is different than an amount in the formula and displays the calculated information associated with the blended mixture on the display.
