摘要 | A level sensor (13), associated with a bin (10), detects a particular reference level of an agricultural product in the bin (10) and generates a calibration indicator An input sensor (16) determines an input rate of the agricultural product into the bin (10) A conveyer (20) is capable of transporting the agricultural product out of the bin (10) An output sensor (24) provides a status indicator that indicates whether the conveyer is in an active state or in an inactive state during one or more evaluation time windows A data processor (26) determines an output rate of the agricultural product based on the status indicator The data processor (26) comprises a level estimator (28) for estimating an estimated bin level of the bin (10) based on the input rate and an output rate. | ||||||
