Weight Verification Process

# Automated Checkweighing Algorithm
def checkweighing_process(item_weight):
    target_weight = get_target_weight()
    tolerance = get_tolerance_settings()
    
    if item_weight < (target_weight - tolerance):
        return "UNDERWEIGHT", trigger_rejection()
    elif item_weight > (target_weight + tolerance):
        return "OVERWEIGHT", trigger_rejection()
    else:
        return "PASS", proceed_to_labeling()

Quality Control Features

• Multi-Zone Tolerance: Different tolerances for under/overweight

• Auto-Tare Compensation: Automatic container weight deduction

• Drift Compensation: Self-adjusting for environmental changes
