Control system and method for a bulk product weighing system

Abstract

A control system includes one or more processors and at least one memory device configured to store product data including information associated with a bulk product and a corresponding bulk product dispenser for the product. The control system is configured to: receive, from a sensor associated with the bulk product dispenser, a detection signal indicative of a dispensing event being detected at the bulk product dispenser; identify the bulk product corresponding to the bulk product dispenser in dependence on the product data; output a control signal to control a display device of the weighing system to display an indication of the bulk product; and in dependence on a threshold expiry time period elapsing since detection of the dispensing event, output a control signal to the display device to remove the indication of the bulk product. A related bulk product weighing system and method are also described.
