Organic material handling system controller

A control system for controlled handling of an organic material comprising:

• an unloading user console configured to receive input related to unloading of the organic material by a container vehicle;
• a loading user console configured to receive input related to loading of the organic material into a second container vehicle;
• a plurality of sensors configured to detect a quantity of the organic material in at least one location during the handling of the organic material;
• and
• a processing unit configured to process input from at least one of the unloading user console, the loading user console, and the plurality of sensors,
• wherein the plurality of sensors comprises sensors configured to detect one or more accumulating volumes of the organic material at one or more locations within a system handling the organic material, the system being controlled by the control system,
• wherein the control system is configured to maximize a rate at which the organic material is transported from an organic material input to an organic material storage module, said rate being maximized based on an indication of material accumulating at one or more critical points in between the organic material input and the organic material storage module.

A method comprising, by an automatic control system:

• receiving, by an unloading user console, input related to unloading of organic material by a container vehicle;
• receiving, by a loading user console, input related to loading of the organic material into a second container vehicle;
• detecting, by a plurality of sensors, a quantity of the organic material in at least one location during handling of the organic material;
• and
• processing, by a computer processing unit, input from at least one of the unloading user console, the loading user console, and the plurality of sensors,
• wherein the organic material is handled by at least:
• a receiving module configured to receive organic material from a container vehicle and to move the organic material in a first direction toward an outlet of the receiving module, the organic material being discharged downward at the outlet of the receiving module;
• a transfer module configured to receive the organic material from the outlet of the receiving module, and to move the received organic material in a second direction toward an outlet of the transfer module;
• a storage module having an upper opening configured to receive and accumulate the organic material following handling by at least the transfer module;
• and
• a discharge module configured to receive the organic material from the storage module and to deliver the organic material from an outlet of the discharge module to a second container vehicle, the discharge module operable independently from at least the receiving module and the transfer module.
