A load weighing luggage rack having a first top rail and a second top rail, wherein each top rail is comprised of a rail base, a pair of load sensors configured to be seated on the rail base and a top platform configured to be seated on top of each corresponding load sensor and the rail base, such that each load sensor is nested within a corresponding top rail, a plurality of straps configured to engage with the first and second top rails and a strain meter in electrical communication with each load sensor, such that a weight exerted on each load sensor may be measured and displayed by the strain meter. Each top rail may be supported by a corresponding rail support, wherein the rail supports may be configured to allow for selective folding of the load weighing luggage rack to facilitate easy storage and transit.

A smart reader system for a scale having a display is disclosed. The smart reader system includes an image capture device for capturing an image of the display; and an attachment device for mounting on the scale, the attachment device configured to receive the image capture device; and a computing device configured to identify, using a machine learning model, a weight from the image of the display.

A system for refining an item identification model detects a triggering event at a platform, where the triggering event corresponds to a user placing the item on a platform. The system captures images of the item. The system extracts a set of features from at least one of the images. The system identifies the item based on the set of features. The system receives an indication that the item is not identified correctly. The system receives an identifier of the item. The system identifies the item based on the identifier of the item. The system feeds the identifier of the item and the images to the item identification model. The system retrains the item identification model to learn to associate the item to the images. The system updates the set of features based on the determined association between the item and the images.

A scale platform mounting assembly, a scale and a method of assembly. The scale may generally include a housing assembly supportable on a surface; a weight sensor supported in the housing assembly; a platform operable to support an object to be weighed, a force on the platform being applied to the weight sensor; and a mounting assembly to removably connect the platform relative to the housing assembly. The mounting assembly may include a stud supported by one of the housing assembly and the platform, the stud having a ball end, and a mount supported by the other of the housing assembly and the platform, the mount defining a recess having an open end, the ball end of the stud being receivable in the recess through the open end to removably connect the platform.

A system for measuring actual weight lifted by a user when a spotting force is applied and calculating a spotting force. The system is comprised of a display device and sensors having strain gauges attached to a weight lifting bar. The system will determine and display the actual weight lifted by a user with or without a spotting force, and a spotting force applied.

A telescoping weigh fork unit where a base fork has an integrated hydraulic cylinder and a slideable outer shoe on which are supported at least two load cells. Optionally the unit may include an outside telescopic fork shoe to which the load cells are mounted and which supports the outer shoe. Unit may further include a system to alert if distance or weight thresholds are exceeded or if a load cell is inoperable.
