ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for determining the nature and amount of goods being moved into or out of a particular location, such as a stock yard or the like. The disclosed embodiment deals with trucks transporting material into or out of a stock yard. Each truck is weighed upon entering the stock yard, and again upon leaving the yard. Each truck operator carries a measurement permission card containing encoded information about the weight and identity of the truck, and the material being picked up or delivered. This information preferably is encoded on the permission card in bar code, and is read from the permission card. The detected gross weight and net weight of the truck, and possibly other information, are printed on a separate measuring sheet as part of the material delivery of pick-up operation. Operating steps are performed under control of a programmed computer.
