Abstract
A method of calibrating a weighing system associated with a worksite is provided. The method includes, receiving, from the weighing system, readings indicative of a payload on a first set of machines and a second set of machines of the worksite. The second set of machines are configured to receive a payload from the corresponding first set of machines. The method also includes formulating a predefined number of equations from the readings and determining error coefficients of the weighing system by optimizing the predefined number of equations. The method further includes calibrating the weighing system based on the determined error coefficients.
