Weighing system and weighing method with object recognition

A method of weighing one or more objects, comprising the steps of:

• recognizing, on a weighing platform of a first scale or within an object recognition area of the weighing platform, at least one of the one or more objects;
• and
• weighing, on a weighing platform of a second scale, a set of the one or more objects;
• wherein:
• at least one first object and at least one second object, different from the first object (collectively, the “different objects”), are recognized sequentially in the recognizing step;
• the different objects are sequentially recognized on the weighing platform of the first scale or within the object recognition area of the weighing platform, and
• a set of the first objects and a set of the second objects are weighed sequentially in the weighing step, either according to a sequence in which the different objects are recognized or according to a pre-set sequence;
• or
• the different objects are sequentially recognized on weighing platforms of different first scales or within object recognition areas of the weighing platforms, and
• sequentially weighing sets of the different objects in the weighing step either according to a sequence in which the different objects are recognized or according to a sequence in which the first scale weighing platforms or the object recognition areas thereof are arranged.
