Abstract
A method includes the step of receiving a first weight value from a sensor associated with a feed mixer. A first rotation speed associated with the first weight value is monitored. A second weight value is received from the sensor associated with the feed mixer and a second rotation speed associated with the second weight value is monitored. A mixing profile is generated based on the first weight value, the second weight value, the first rotation speed, and the second rotation speed. In one embodiment, a first feed ingredient is associated with the first weight value and a second feed ingredient is associated with the second weight value.
Claims6
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a machine control indicator, a first weight value from a sensor associated with a feed mixer;
- monitoring, at the machine control indicator, a first rotation speed of the feed mixer associated with the first weight value during a first time period;
- receiving, at the machine control indicator, a second weight value from the sensor associated with the feed mixer;
- monitoring, at the machine control indicator, a second rotation speed of the feed mixer associated with the second weight value during a second time period;
- generating, at the machine control indicator, a mixing profile based on the first weight value, the second weight value, the first rotation speed, the second rotation speed, the first time period, and the second time period;
- storing the mixing profile;
- transmitting, from the machine control indicator, the stored mixing profile to a remote device;
- receiving, at the machine control indicator, instructions to change one of the first time period and the second time period based on an examination of mixed feed ingredients in the feed mixer and determining that one or more of the feed ingredients require more or less turns of the feed mixer after the second time period;
- and
- adjusting the stored mixing profile based on the determining.
