A scale system is provided. The scale system includes multiple scale portions which may be separated to weigh an item that may have multiple feet or wheels, such as luggage. Each scale portion is configured as a pedestal that may wirelessly communicate with a computing device. The computing device receives a signal input from each portion, calculates the total weight based on the signal inputs, and presents this information to a user.

A transfer terminal is shown for off-loading dry, flowable, granular material from large transportation vehicles such as trucks or barges to smaller transport trucks. A pouch within a tank is provided for receiving the material, which material is distributed to storage silos. A single elevator is used to load the pouch and all storage silos. By aeration of the materials, a very low angle of repose is created for the material, which allows the material to flow at a very low angle, both to and from the various silos. Material being loaded into a transport truck flows through the pouch.

A system for making public a scale includes a device for capturing a weight from the scale and hardware for storing the weight and associating the weight with the scale (in some embodiments, the weight is periodically transferred to a server for central storage). There is a user interface for directing an operator having a vehicle to the scale and mechanisms for determining that the operator, and hence the vehicle, are located on the scale. Once on the scale, a weigh-bill is generated from the weight and the weigh-bill is communicated to the operator

In one embodiment, a weighing system includes a base, a platform structure movable with respect to the base, at least one flexure fixedly attached to the platform and the base, the at least one flexure configured to inhibit movement of the platform structure along a horizontal plane relative to the base, and a plurality of load cell assemblies, each of the plurality of load cell assemblies including an upper portion pivotably supported by the base through a first pivot assembly and a lower portion pivotably supporting the platform structure through a second pivot assembly, wherein an axis of rotation of the first pivot assembly is parallel to an axis of rotation of the second pivot assembly.

The application discloses a method, system and related device of implementing vehicle automatically weighing, so as to achieve the automatically weighing of the unmanned vehicle. The method includes: controlling, by a vehicle controller, a vehicle to drive automatically and stop at a weighing position; weighing, by a weighbridge sensor, the vehicle when sensing the vehicle stopping at the weighing position, and sending weighing end information to the vehicle controller; and controlling, by the vehicle controller, the vehicle to start and leave the weighing position when receiving the weighing end information.

A cast load cell comprising a load sensing portion integrally cast with a first mounting portion. The load sensing portion has a flexure portion spaced apart from the first mounting portion by a flexure gap. The load sensing portion has at least one sensor cavity above at least a portion of the flexure gap. A second mounting portion is integrally cast with the load sensing portion above the flexure gap. A load sensor is connected to the load sensor portion and positioned within the sensor cavity above a portion of the flexure gap. The first mounting portion, the load sensing portion, and the second mounting portion define an integral, low-profile, weld-free, substantially homogenous unitary cast member.

A displacement and weight association apparatus includes a setting unit, a detecting unit, a measuring unit, and an associating unit. The setting unit sets a processing target period. The detecting unit detects weights of a plurality of vehicles having passed a structure during the processing target period. The measuring unit measures a plurality of peak values of displacement of the structure during the processing target period. The associating unit associates the peak values with the weights of the vehicles based on a magnitude relation of the measured peak values and a magnitude relation of the detected weights of the vehicles.

A robot scheduling method. Robots include a cleaning robot for performing cleaning operations in a cleaning region and a conveying robot for transporting the cleaning robot in an aisle region. The robot scheduling method includes a task generating step, a task issuing step, a route planning step, a travel controlling step, and a docking controlling step.

A vehicle weight detection method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include calculating a first difference between a first expected weight of a vehicle and a first current weight of the vehicle based on On-Board Dash (OBD) input data, calculating a second difference between a second expected weight of the vehicle and a second current weight of the vehicle based on a spring-mass-damper mechanical algorithm using vehicle data received from a user device, and a comparing circuit configured to compare each of the first difference and the second difference to a predetermined weight difference threshold value.
