A modular off-platter detection assembly for use with a barcode reader includes a housing, a first light source, a first light sensor, and a controller operatively coupled to the first light source and the first light sensor. The housing is configured to be removably mounted to the barcode reader, a frame supporting the barcode reader, or the workstation. The first light source is positioned within the housing and emits a first light along a first lateral edge of a weigh platter. The first light sensor is positioned within the housing, has a first field-of-view along the first lateral edge, and is configured to detect at least a portion of the first light reflected towards the housing. The controller is configured to provide a first alert in response to receipt of a first value from the first light sensor indicating there is an object extending across the first lateral edge.

In one embodiment, a sensor unit includes an outer housing including a top plate and a base member that together define an interior space, the top plate being configured to directly receive and support the leg of the piece of furniture, a load cell provided within the interior space configured to measure forces imposed by the leg on the top plate, the load cell including a planar metal plate having a deformable element to which the top plate is mounted and a sensor element mounted to the planar metal plate at a location at which the deformable element extends from the remainder of the planar metal plate, and an internal platform provided within the interior space and associated with the base member that supports the planar metal plate of the load cell in a manner in which the deformable element of the planar metal plate is free to deform when a force is imposed by the leg on the top plate.

A measurement relay device to receive measurements from a measurement device and transmit data relating to the measurement via a network is provided. The measurement relay device includes a housing, a display, a control unit, and a communication unit. The display may be carried by the housing. The control unit may be carried by the housing and may be in communication with the display. The communication unit may be carried by the housing and may be in communication with the control unit and the network. The control unit may be configured to receive data relating to the measurements from the measurement device to define measurement data. The measurement data may be displayed on the display. The measurement data may be transmittable via the network to be incorporated into a computer implemented system that may require measurement data.

A coating composition system for weighing and formulating coating compositions comprises a physical enclosure enclosing an electronic coating composition networking device. The electronic coating composition networking device comprises a local communication interface configured to receive a physical connector from an electronic scale and a network communication interface configured to communicate with an internet gateway. Additionally, at least one sensor may be integrated within the electronic coating composition networking device. The electronic coating composition networking device also receives, through the local communication interface, a mass variable from the electronic scale and a sensor variable from the at least one sensor. The electronic coating composition networking device then generates a network data structure comprising the sensor variable and the mass variable. The electronic coating composition networking device communicates, through the internet gateway, the network data structure to a remote server.

A well production particulate measurement system having a stationary frame removably mountable to tank, a hopper coupled to the frame and moveable relative to the frame; a well production inlet configured to receive well production and discharge the particulates and liquid into the hopper, and to strip at least a portion of a gas phase from the well production; and a weight transducer coupled to the system and configured to sense a weight of particulates in the hopper.

A food portioning system may include a food plate body and a scale associated with the food plate body to sense a weight of food carried thereby. The system may also include wireless communications circuitry coupled to the scale, and a mobile wireless communications device associated with a given user. The mobile wireless communications device may be configured to obtain a user-selected food recipe from the given user, obtain user health data associated with the given user, and obtain a desired consumable food weight for the food plate body based upon the user-selected food recipe and the user health data associated with the given user. The mobile wireless communications device may also be configured to wirelessly communicate with the wireless communications circuitry to obtain a sensed consumable food weight, compare the sensed consumable food weight with the desired consumable food weight, and generate a notification based upon the comparing.

Systems and methods are disclosed for managing logistics information related to a container using a container interface display apparatus. A scanner on the container interface display apparatus identifies an item during loading of the container. An association between the container and the item is recorded in memory of the container interface display apparatus as part of managed logistics information related to the container. A scale within the container detects a weight of the item and sends a signal to the container interface display apparatus indicating the detected weight of the item (which is also recorded in memory as part of the managed logistics information related to the container). Electronic logistics monitor information (e.g., at least a portion of the managed logistics information) is then generated on the display screen of the container interface display apparatus.

The present disclosure pertains to a wireless scale, interface and release system for recreational and commercial weighing of items of any kind in a uniform and secure manner, furthermore designed for use on any form of bodies of water, tributaries, ocean, vehicle or land. The present disclosure comprises, scale inside of a waterproof housing, and a user interface to prompt the user through the weighing and release of the item or animal.

Apparatus, systems and methods for monitoring loads on a pallet, each apparatus using one or more force sensors placed under and along a single side of a loaded pallet. In embodiments, each apparatus comprises one or more low profile force sensors in one or more housings mountable on an underlying floor surface, carrying self-contained power supplies and having an associated Bluetooth transceiver. The apparatus force sensors output signals corresponding to pallet loads and load changes. Multiple apparatus may comprise a system including a base station having a Bluetooth transceiver for communicating with each the Bluetooth transceiver of each apparatus.
