In this study, new approaches are proposed over a range of conditions with unknown loading time to determine the initial conditions and identify the explicit model parameters of successive weighing system in the early part of the transient response. When a new mass is applied to the platform, the starting of the newly applied mass is detected by modelling error approach and then predicted automatically using the Non-Linear Regression (NLR) method and the detection process is repeated for successive continuous weighing. Simulation results are provided to indicate the improvement in both speed and accuracy of the model and the mass prediction.
