Weighbridge remote site monitoring

When combined with driver operated consoles, remote site monitoring software offers weighbridge operators the ability to control the vehicles entering and leaving the site, without the need for an on-site weighbridge operator. This allows operators to monitor weighbridge operations in real-time, regardless of their physical location.

By adding traffic barriers, traffic lights, ANPR cameras, and RFID card readers, operators can ensure accurate records of the vehicle entering and leaving the site, record driver and vehicle ID for security purposes, and use CCTV to record and check load data. Vehicle position sensors and induction loops ensure accurate vehicle positioning for enhanced accuracy, while two-way communication devices can also aid issue resolution without needing to have a dedicated weighbridge manager on site.

Traditionally, a weighbridge has one or two dedicated operators that manage the flow of vehicles through a site, including checking vehicle and driver IDs, taking the weighment, and completing any necessary paperwork. These transactional tasks can be streamlined by automating the weighbridge using an unmanned kiosk system. By adding remote monitoring, managers can reduce or reallocate manpower, improve safety, speed up throughput, and ensure transactional accuracy. The system can be configured to send alerts and notifications if certain conditions are met, such as overweight vehicles, equipment malfunctions, or inaccurate vehicle positioning.

Authorised personnel can access weighbridge data – including driver and vehicle details, weighments and more – through a web-based interface or a dedicated software application on their computers. Our software gives you total management reporting and control of your weighbridge operation, across one or multiple sites. Analyse weight data to help control wastage, monitor costs, improve site security and ensure compliance with legal requirements in the format of your choice – or integrate with back office systems for additional management capability.

Remote monitoring can be used to extend opening hours, or to reduce the costs associated with staffing and managing multiple weighbridge sites. The system can be used to remotely manage one weighbridge, or scaled to monitor multiple weighbridges across different locations, providing centralised control and oversight.
