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.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- monitoring weights of feed ingredients in a feed mixer and rotation speeds of the feed mixer;
- storing a mixing profile identifying the weights of the feed ingredients and the rotation speeds of the feed mixer;
- transmitting the mixing profile to a remote device;
- receiving instructions, from the remote device, to change the mixing profile based on an examination of mixed feed ingredients in the feed mixer;
- and
- adjusting the stored mixing profile based on the instructions.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory to store computer program instructions, the computer program instructions when executed on the processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- monitoring weights of feed ingredients in a feed mixer and rotation speeds of the feed mixer;
- storing a mixing profile identifying the weights of the feed ingredients and the rotation speeds of the feed mixer;
- transmitting the mixing profile to a remote device;
- receiving instructions, from the remote device, to change the mixing profile based on an examination of mixed feed ingredients in the feed mixer;
- and
- adjusting the stored mixing profile based on the instructions.
A computer readable medium storing computer program instructions for operating a machine control indicator, which, when executed on a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- monitoring weights of feed ingredients in a feed mixer and rotation speeds of the feed mixer;
- storing a mixing profile identifying the weights of the feed ingredients and the rotation speeds of the feed mixer;
- transmitting the mixing profile to a remote device;
- receiving instructions, from the remote device, to change the mixing profile based on an examination of mixed feed ingredients in the feed mixer;
- and
- adjusting the stored mixing profile based on the instructions.
