Weighing the contents of a container to calculate the center of mass

The replenishment services are part of the supply services in a Bundeswehr battalion. This supply of goods, which the troops need to maintain combat effectiveness, is increasingly being managed with containers. The reason lies primarily in the dense rail network and the high number of available terminals, which enable rapid transport and fast, effective handling. Caution is advised when loading the containers. It is essential that the distribution of the goods in the container is recorded by weight in order to determine the local mean of the density as the center of mass. For this purpose, a lifting scale is used, which can precisely determine these large weights (and mathematically their distribution).. Invalid search result.
