An automated weigh-based storage and conveying system is a kind of material handling system that is made to automatically weigh and transport things from one place to another. The effective storage and transportation of bulk commodities is a requirement in several industries, including manufacturing, food processing, and agriculture.

The system normally comprises some parts, including conveyor belts, weighing sensors, and storage silos or bins. When a precise quantity is required, the system automatically weighs out the material from the silos or bins where it is kept and transports it along the conveyor belt to the necessary place.

Usually, the load cells used in the system’s weighing sensors measure the material’s weight as it passes over them. To ensure that the materials are delivered precisely and effectively, the system could additionally contain a computerized control system that monitors and regulates the movement of the materials.
