A work vehicle, a method of determining a weight of a payload supported by a work tool mounted to an upper structure of a work vehicle, and a method of calibrating a weight of a payload supported by a work tool mounted to an upper structure of a work vehicle are provided. The work vehicle includes an undercarriage having a plurality of ground engaging members supporting the work vehicle, an upper structure rotatable relative to the undercarriage about a vertical axis, a rotation sensor configured to determine a rotation angle of the upper structure relative to the undercarriage, a work tool mounted to the upper structure and configured to support a payload, and a controller configured to determine a weight of the payload based at least partially on the rotation angle of the upper structure relative to the undercarriage.

A shovel includes an attachment attached to a revolving upper body; and a control device including a memory and a processor configured to execute estimating a center of gravity of loaded matter loaded in the attachment, and calculating a weight of the loaded matter based on the estimated center of gravity of the loaded matter.

The present disclosure relates to an implement connectable to a work vehicle. The implement comprises an arm, a fastening arrangement arranged at a first part of the arm, and an attaching arrangement. The fastening arrangement is connectable to the work vehicle. The attaching arrangement is connected to a second part of the arm. The implement further includes a first hydraulic circuit configured to carry hydraulic fluid to at least one first hydraulic function, at least one first sensor arranged to obtain sensor signals at least related to the at least one first function, a local control element, and a digital interface. The local control element is arranged to receive the obtained sensor signals, to calculate at least one state parameter related to the implement based on the obtained sensor signals, and to feed the calculated state parameter to the digital interface.

A load sensing system measures lift cylinder pressure and platform height to estimate platform load. The system functions to prevent overload and is designed to comply with regulatory requirements. The system provides the advantages of a force-based approach using simple, lower cost pressure-based measurement components.

A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body mounted on the lower traveling body, an attachment attached to the upper turning body, and a control device mounted on the upper turning body and configured to assist an excavating motion with the attachment. The control device is configured to derive a target excavation depth based on the hardness of an excavation target.

A system includes one or more processors located remote from a plurality of containers configured to store recyclable material. The one or more processors are configured to receive image data generated by an imaging device positioned to have a field of view of an interior of a first container of the containers. The image data depicts the recyclable material within the first container. The one or more processors receive one or more weight measurements of the first container with the recyclable material therein and determine one or more characteristics of the recyclable material within the first container based on at least one of the image data or the one or more weight measurements. The one or more processors schedule a pickup date for the first container based on the one or more characteristics of the recyclable material that are determined.

The present disclosure describes a computer-implemented method for determining and reporting compliance with rules regarding discarded material from an originating site. The method may include obtaining, for each batch of a plurality of batches of discarded material, identification information of a respective originating site, capturing image data for each batch and associating the identification and image data. The identification and image data may be sent to a server having rules regarding the discarded material. The server may then determine data regarding compliance and generate a report including data regarding compliance with the rules regarding the discarded material for each originating site.

A tow aid system used while operating a towing vehicle adapted to tow a towed vehicle, the towing vehicle comprising an underlift arm extending rearward from the towing vehicle, wherein the underlift arm is adapted to lift at least a part of the vehicle for towing. The tow aid system comprises: a plurality of geometry sensors and force sensors mounted to components of the towing vehicle that are indicative of a load applied on the underlift arm while holding the part of the towed vehicle in a towing position; and a controller processing the signals from the sensors to calculate the payload resulting from lifting the part of the towed vehicle, and operating limits of the towing vehicle.

Systems and methods for determining shrinkage of a commodity sold by a store are provided which may include: identifying data indicative of a volume of the commodity, associating a label with a container that holds the commodity, collecting the label information with a reader and transmitting collected label information to at least one server, automatically determining data characterizing the material in the container, associating the label information and the data characterizing the material in the container, and determining performance data related to the commodity by comparing the data indicative of the volume of the commodity supplied to the store, the data indicative of the volume of the commodity sold by the store, and the data characterizing the material in the container.

The present disclosure describes a device for transporting waste or recyclable material. An example device may include a base and a collapsible sleeve, wherein the collapsible sleeve is movable between an open state and a collapsed state. The collapsible sleeve is structured to interface, in the open state, with the base to form a bin for receiving and transporting waste or recyclable material. The example device may further include an RFID as part of the base or the collapsible sleeve.
