Weighbridge automation systems weigh heavy vehicles to ensure material delivered is as accurate as mentioned in the paper as well as maintain load compliance. It benefits by replacing humans with electronic hardware and software when managing the use of ground-mounted scales. The common hardware includes a weighbridge platform, CCTV cameras, RFID readers, positioning sensors, ANPR readers, and boom barriers. Additionally, the weighbridge automation software is useful for automatic data capture, reporting, and analysis. It can also provide historical data for the resolution of disputes or audits.
Businesses move millions of tonnes daily. Watsoo makes weighing simple and automated. Manage data without errors and run faster, smarter operations that scale effortlessly.
Watsoo works in 3 simple steps: capture truck weight, auto-record vehicle details, and sync data with ERP. That’s all you need for accurate and seamless weighing.
Watsoo is built for automation. From RFID to cameras, sensors, and boom barriers, the system can go semi- or fully unmanned while staying secure and reliable.
A semi-automated system still needs staff for a few steps, like ticket printing or vehicle checks. A fully unmanned system runs end-to-end with RFID, cameras, sensors, and barriers handling everything.
