Indirect weight measurement systems and processes

A system for indirectly computing a weight of a container comprising:

• a device comprising:
• a housing comprising a top plate and a bottom plate;
• a spring operatively connected to the top plate and bottom plate;
• a spring deformation sensor within the housing and configured for measuring an amount deformation of the spring;
• and
• a digital level fixed to the top plate and configured for measuring an angle of inclination of the top plate;
• a memory storing predetermined characteristics of a spring type of the spring, the predetermined characteristics comprising:
• deformation characteristics of the spring type under a plurality of conditions;
• and
• a plurality of deformation values associated with the deformation characteristics;
• and
• at least one processor operatively connected to the memory, the at least one processor configured for:
• receiving a data package from the device, wherein the device is in contact with a container loaded with material, the data package comprising:
• a deformation value associated with the spring;
• an angle of inclination of the container relative to a surface;
• computing a weight for a load of material based at least in part on characterizing the received deformation value as one of the plurality of deformation values stored in memory;
• modifying the weight of the load of material based on the computed weight for the load of material and the angle of inclination of the container;
• and
• displaying the modified weight of the load of material on a display screen.
