Weigh - Method for feed bin weighers? #11

Closed sejast closed 4 years ago

sejast commented 4 years ago

Provide a weighing method for feed bin weighers such as GrowSafe or OptiWeigh?

cookeac commented 4 years ago

Let's discuss at the meeting. If we are weighing the animal with them, are these still working on the same principle as a loadcell/loadbar weighing, or as walkover weighing?

cookeac commented 4 years ago

The suggestion from Bill Mitchell at Optiweigh (thanks for the intro, @sejast ) is that these weighers should be categorised differently. The primary reason is that they only weigh the front of the animal and extrapolate this to the entire animal. Other weighers that have a feed bin but use loadbars to weigh the entire animal could just provide "loadcell" weights (with timeOffFeed = 0).

Recommend we add a "frontEndCorrelated" weigh method, based on the descriptions listed in https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1080744615309773. An alternative would be "partialCorrelated" (based on https://academic.oup.com/jas/article/95/suppl_4/241/4765447) but I think front end correlated will be easier for implementers to recognise and use.
