Abstract

The present invention deals with a filling device (1) and a weighing device, wherein at least one 3D sensor (2) is provided to capture at least a partial area of the transport surface, virtually dividing the detected area into a plurality of sectors (3) and zones (4). The at least one sensor (2) is adapted to determine a distance to the measuring point as well as a respective angle of incidence at which the measuring point of the detected surface is measured, The filling device (1) is adapted to make a division into sectors (3) and zones (4) dynamically as a function of at least one influencing variable (E) to derive relevant information for the regulation of the control parameters therefrom in order to achieve a controlled product distribution.
