The Planck scale works according to the principle of electromagnetic force compensation: A weight force on one side of the scale is balanced by an electromagnetic force on the other side. This means that weights (so-called mass standards) will no longer be needed. This could be the beginning of the development of a completely new generation of scales that are suitable for industry.
