A production Python pipeline smooths noisy weight sensor streams with a Kalman filter (filterpy) then infers discrete phases with a Hidden Markov Model (hmmlearn), producing cycle counts, per-cycle tonnage and a dashboard. The metric claims median error ≈ 0 for the new method versus ~20% bias from manual thresholding (business assumed ~10%). The implementation runs online, handles missing samples by prediction, and yields near‑perfect per‑cycle payload estimates in the demos.
