Idea for logic item

[SuperObeseNinja]

i'd like to see an item,
size: 2 power poles on either side of a transport belt
Function: scans the incoming items going through the belt and allows for combinator actions,
Example: you run a belt through this and have it turn on a splitter (also an idea to allow splitters to be turned on and off via logic systems) and say :When X > 200 turn on splitter X being objects passed through the scanner per minute

this would be great for diverting ores to additional smelting facilities and many other uses like allowing certain things to get materials when enough of said material is being produced

Moved from general.
I'm not sure now, but I think mods are already enabling such things.

I'd very much like a Belt ThroughPut Meter as well.
