An inventory tracking scaled locking canister has a housing, a closure, a commodity container positioned within the housing and releasably sealed within the housing by the closure through an electrically disengageable magnetic locking mechanism, at least one weight sensor, a processing unit, a biometric sensor, a digital display, a data storage unit, a wireless communication device, a power source, and a GPS module. The commodity container may have multiple nested frames with perforations that allow smaller byproducts of the contents of the central frame to be separated from the bulk of the contents. The weight of each frame is measured individually through one or more load cells. The biometric sensor prevents unauthorized access to the commodity container. The processing unit facilitates data collection, storage, and transmittal through the wireless communication device to a remote server. The GPS module tracks the location of the canister in case of theft.

System, methods, and computer program products are provided for enhanced freight tracking and monitoring. The system may track the location of a freight shipment within a carrier's transportation network from the time it is picked up by a carrier from a consignor until it is delivered to a consignee, provide for weight determinations and shipping re-classifications of the freight shipment during transport, and provide real-time status information and reports to the carrier, consignor, and/or consignee.

A system for facilitating travel includes a handheld device for weighing luggage that is electronically linked with an application server via a smart device. The device includes electronics disposed within a housing configured to conform to a luggage handle. Lifting the luggage with the device disposed against its handle causes the luggage weight to impart a force onto the housing. This force is sensed by the electronics and converted into a weight measurement that is displayed on the smart device and sent to the application server. Weight measurements stored on the application server can be integrated with airline flight information, such as baggage restrictions, to provide certain advantages. For instance, weight measurements can be retrieved by a traveler to ensure baggage compliance. Additionally, historical luggage data can reviewed by an airline on a flight-based level to prepare for atypical cargo loads or on a traveler-basis to incentivize light baggage travel.

This disclosure describes a collection bin for a waste collection vehicle. The collection bin includes a weighing system with a processor for measuring the weight of material collected from each waste container and associating this weight with appropriate data, such as the owner of the waste container.

An information processing device includes a controller configured to execute acquiring a detection value obtained by detecting an amount of a product stored in a storage location corresponding to the product by a sensor, and transmitting a notification regarding a storage error of the product to a user terminal in a case where a decrease amount of the product based on the detection value of the sensor in a predetermined period is larger than a threshold value.

The collection bin includes a weighing system with a processor for measuring the weight of material collected from each waste container and associating this weight with appropriate data, such as the owner of the waste container.

Described is a weighing luggage rack having a rack portion with a top section and a bottom section, and a platform portion connected with the top section of the rack portion. In use, the platform portion is stacked on top of the rack portion. The weighing luggage rack further includes a weighing mechanism, and an electronic display configured to display a weight of an object placed thereon. Further embodiments include a weighing luggage rack with only a rack portion and a weighing luggage rack with only a platform portion.

The invention is a monitoring system for determining a vehicle maintenance condition based on weight. The system includes a monitoring station, a weight determination system, a data input device configured to receive input data, and a processing device. The processing device includes a processor and non-volatile memory. The processor is configured to receive load ratings for a tow vehicle and tow equipment, receive maintenance requirements for the tow vehicle and the tow equipment, receive vehicle use requirements for the tow vehicle and the tow equipment, receive weight data from the weight determination system, and receive the input data from the data input device. Additionally, the processor is configured to determine at least one maintenance condition based on the load ratings, the weight data, and the input data. The processor is also configured to send the maintenance condition data to the monitoring system and communicate the maintenance condition to a user.
