Using a truck scale in/out system aids inventory management and billing by keeping accurate records of materials entering and leaving the site. Real-time data from truck scale indicators can be paired with back office systems, or stored in the terminal, and used to update inventory management systems. In addition, monitoring the weights of materials, and the tare weight of the vehicles, can help in detecting truck scale fraud.
Overview
Truck scale in/out refers to the process used to measure the weight of a vehicle, typically a truck or lorry, as it enters and exits a site.
This kind of system is commonly used in industries like warehousing and logistics, agriculture, waste management, and mining to accurately measure the amount of material being transported. By comparing the in and out weights, the weight of the materials loaded or unloaded can be calculated.
For sites that experience heavy vehicle traffic, keeping traffic flowing is an important part of an in/out truck scale operation. By pairing truck scales with driver operated consoles (DOC), drivers can follow a series of on-screen prompts, collecting and storing vehicle and weight data, then transferring it directly into your back office system. This enables users to complete transactions from the comfort of the cab, without the need for a truck scale operator.
As drivers do not need to physically leave their vehicle during the weighing process, unmanned I/O truck scale systems are an ideal tool to improve business efficiency, driver turnaround time and health as safety on site. Sites can opt to add traffic lights, barriers, RFID, ANPR, two way intercoms, and other peripherals for enhanced site management. This gives sites the option to run a 24 hour operation without a dedicated truck scale operator, lowering operational costs and extending the hours of availability.
