摘要： The article discharge system includes plural grippers, weight acquisition units, and a control unit. 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.

摘要： The present invention deals with a filling device (1) and a weighing device, wherein at least one 3D sensor (2) is provided to capture at least a partial area of the transport surface, virtually dividing the detected area into a plurality of sectors (3) and zones (4). The at least one sensor (2) is adapted to determine a distance to the measuring point as well as a respective angle of incidence at which the measuring point of the detected surface is measured, The filling device (1) is adapted to make a division into sectors (3) and zones (4) dynamically as a function of at least one influencing variable (E) to derive relevant information for the regulation of the control parameters therefrom in order to achieve a controlled product distribution.

摘要： When a combination calculator has selected both a first weighing hopper and a second weighing hopper corresponding to one feeding hopper, a controller drives a feeder so as to increase an amount of objects to be weighed that are held in the one feeding hopper, and then causes the one feeding hopper to discharge the objects to be weighed in both a first direction and a second direction concurrently to distribute the objects to be weighed to the first weighing hopper and the second weighing hopper that have been emptied.

摘要： Supply chain systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring fluid levels in liquid containers, such as kegs. Embodiments include sensors that fit within a keg's false bottom, measure the weight of the keg, and transmit the weight information to a computer database via a wireless network. Other embodiments include an RFID device with information about a characteristic of the liquid within a keg (such as brand and/or type of beer) that may be attached to the keg and paired with the sensor so the sensor can transmit information about the characteristic of the liquid in the keg. In alternate embodiments, the sensor's transmitter is short range and an uplink/gateway is used to receive information from the sensor and relay that sensor's information to a broader wireless network. Multiple containers in close proximity may each be fitted with an RFID device and sensor and communicate their individual information to the database.

摘要： A combination weighing device 1 includes: a plurality of weighing hoppers 6 which receive articles supplied from an outside, weigh the articles, and discharge the articles; a plurality of booster hoppers 7 which are respectively disposed right below the plurality of weighing hoppers 6 and receive the articles discharged from the weighing hoppers 6; and a control unit 20 which calculates a combination of weighed values so that a total value becomes a target value from a plurality of weighed values respectively correlated with the weighing hoppers 6 and the booster hoppers 7, in which the control unit 20 extracts the weighing hopper 6, corresponding to the booster hopper 7 having the article existing therein and capable of using the weighed value of the article in next combination calculation, as a zero-correction target.

摘要： In a combination weighing apparatus, a control unit executes combination weighing processing with a second value used as a target weighing value after controlling all of the hoppers so as to discharge the article while leaving the article in the conveying unit when the second value is less than a first value in a case where the target weighing value is changed from the first value to the second value.
