A method for determining a normalized weight of a non-static item is disclosed. Weight data associated with the non-static item is received from a plurality of load cells. A load cell weight for the non-static item is determined based at least in part on the weight data. The load cell weight for the non-static item is received as an input for a machine learning algorithm. The normalized weight for the non-static item is generated as an output for the machine learning algorithm.

A method and a scale for the performance thereof performs a zeroing process as soon as a product conveyed across a weighing platform leaves the weighing platform.

A terminal device, server, weighing scale, system and method for weighing an article are provided. The system (800) includes the terminal device (802), the server (804) and the weighing scale (806). These components communicate with each other to weigh an article placed on the weighing scale. The method of weighing the article includes receiving, at a terminal device, a selection of a container from a user for storing an article, retrieving a weight of the selected container from a first look-up table, wherein the first look-up table includes a container identifier and an associated container weight for one or more containers; prompting, by the terminal device, the user to place the container storing the article onto a weighing scale, the weighing scale being associated with a weighing scale identifier code; receiving the weighing scale identifier code of the weighing scale, inputted or scanned on the terminal device by the user; retrieving, at the server, the weight measurement value associated with the weighing scale identifier code from a second look-up table, the weight measurement value corresponding to the combined weight of the container and the article; and subsequently calculating the weight of the article from the difference between the weight of the container and the combined weight of container and the article.

A weighing apparatus includes: a transport unit capable of transporting an article; a weighing unit connected to the transport unit and configured to output an original signal related to a weight; and a weighing control unit configured to output a weighing value of the article by processing the original signal, wherein the weighing control unit is configured: to determine whether or not to adjust a zero point on the basis of a determination signal obtained by applying a first filter to the original signal; to generate an adjustment signal obtained by applying a second filter having more stages than the first filter to the original signal or the determination signal in a case where it is determined that the zero point is to be adjusted; and to perform adjustment of the zero point on the basis of the adjustment signal.

A cutting force analyser is provided, comprising weighing means adapted to determine the weight of an object and force applied to the object; a record of a force threshold for cutting the object; and indicating means. The analyser is formed to use the weighing means to differentiate between the weight of the object and cutting force applied to it, to compare the cutting force with the force threshold, and to use the indicating means to communicate how the force compares with the threshold.

Problem It is an object of the present invention to provide an article discharge system that can efficiently perform the operation of discharging articles.

Solution An article discharge system 100 pulls out and discharges some articles A from an article group A1 disposed in a placement unit 50. The article discharge system includes plural grippers 30, weight acquisition units 40, and a control unit 70. The grippers grip the articles. The weight acquisition units acquire weight values of the articles that each of the plural grippers grips. The control unit causes the plural grippers to grip the some articles from the article group disposed in the placement unit and, based on the result of a combination calculation using the weight values of the articles that each of the plural grippers grips, causes a predetermined combination of the grippers to release and discharge the articles. During the period after the control unit has caused the grippers to release the articles and before the control unit next causes the grippers to grip the articles, the control unit implements a zero correction process on the weight acquisition units corresponding to the grippers that were caused to release the articles.

An electronic scale includes a display unit for digitally displaying the weight of a load on a weighing dish, a tare subtraction key, a display control unit for controlling the display on the display unit and a memory for memorizing a zero adjustment range. The display control unit displays on the display unit a tare subtraction prompt display for prompting to push the tare subtraction key when the measurement value of the load increases over the upper limit of the zero adjustment range.
