Title:
MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR COMMODITY LOADING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/022062
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A system (100) for in-vehicle (38) monitoring and control of commodity loading, such a grain or loose or fluid materials, from a storage bin (22) to a transport bin (34) using a loading system (24), includes a loading system control device (102) and a user interface device (110) capable of mutual wireless communication. The system (100) improves safety by eliminating the need for operators (36) to crawl up the side of vehicle in order to check levels of commodity (28) in the transport bin (34), while also trying to move the transport bin as required. The loading system control device (102) includes a logic switching unit (130) for selectively operating the loading system (24) that transfers the commodity (28) from the storage bin (22); one or more cameras (104, 106) providing visual feeds (112, 114) of the loading of commodity into the transport bin; and a security or safety feature (134). The user interface device (110) includes a display (120) for displaying the visual feeds (112, 114) and control switches (122) for operating the loading system (24).
