Dynamic Weight Estimation Application with Artificial Neural Networks

In our day when the capacities of manufacturing have increased rapidly, also the speedy weighting of manufactured products has become an important subject. because of this speed requirement, the products must be weighted on the weighing platform without being stopped. the weighting process of products in motion on the weighting platform without being stopped is called as dynamic weighting. however, in the dynamic weighting systems, the measurement signal is noisy as the weighted product is in motion and various methods must be used to determine the weight of product within a definite period of time. in this study, artificial neural networks were used to predict the weights of the weighted products in motion. the artificial neural network was trained with the weight data taken from the measurement system and then, performance of the network was evaluated with the test data. when the results were assessed, it has been determined that the weight prediction could be made successfully with the artificial neural networks in the dynamic measurement systems.
