SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEASURING WEIGHT OF A MOVING OBJECT
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18765083 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEASURING WEIGHT OF A MOVING OBJECT
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure presents systems and related methods for weighing a moving cart in a modular grow tower assembly. Such a method comprises moving a plurality of carts containing crops along a path; isolating a single cart from adjacent carts using a separator wheel with prongs that engage ribs on a bottom surface of the cart; positioning the isolated cart onto a load cell; measuring a pressure exerted by the isolated cart using the load cell while the isolated cart is in motion; recording the measured pressure as pressure data with a controller; and generating, by the controller, a histogram from the pressure data to determine a weight of the isolated cart.
