TRUCK ONBOARD WEIGHING Leave a comment

ONBOARD WEIGHING.

What is onboard weighing?

• • • • Measuring the weight of a load while it’s on a vehicle, such as a tipper truck, tanker, or bin lorry, is known as on-board weighing. This is accomplished using load cells, which monitor the load applied to the vehicle and determine the weight of what is carried, hence the name “on-board weighing.”

Areas of application

• • • • Logistic companies.
      • Waste collection.
      • Raw materials collection.
      • Farm produce- milk tankers, avocado trucks.
      • Petroleum products, petrol, diesel, LPG.
      • Gas and chemicals.
      • Building materials.
      • Scrap materials.

Key features

• • • • Real-time weight monitoring
      • GPS-based location tracking
      • Compliance with regulations and standards
      • Load capacity management
      • Driver behavior monitoring
      • Cumulative weight check
      • Abnormality alerts- email, SMS, alarms
      • Record keeping
      • User-friendly interface
      • Integration with other systems
      • Customizable alerts and reporting
      • Data storage and retrieval
      • Wireless connectivity

Advantages of onboard weighing, why onboard weighing?

• • • • Onboard weighing helps in monitoring real time weight of the vehicle’s content hence reduces chances of ‘content manipulation’. –spillage, theft, fraud.
      • Helps in monitoring of real time location of the vehicle.
      • Helps the operator to work within the vehicle’s loading capacities to avoid conflicting with authorities as well as maintaining good health of the vehicle.
      • Helps in monitoring drivers’ behaviors – Time management, routes management, unauthorized loading and offloading.
      • Onboard weighing also acts as a cumulative weight check- weighing platform just like a weighbridge.
      • Abnormalities alert.
      • Record keeping.
      • Customer satisfaction.

Why choose onboard weighing over the other systems of weighing?

Onboard weighing systems (weighing systems built into vehicles) have several advantages over other weighing methods:

• • • • Convenience: Onboard weighing systems eliminate the need to travel to a separate weighing facility.
      • Speed: The process of weighing a vehicle with an onboard system is quicker than with other methods.
      • Increased accuracy: Onboard systems use sophisticated sensors and algorithms to provide accurate weight readings, even when the vehicle is in motion.
      • Cost-effectiveness: Onboard weighing systems can save time and money compared to other methods, such as taking a vehicle to a weighbridge.
      • Improved safety.
      • Real-time data: Onboard systems provide real-time data that can be used for analysis and decision-making.
