What problems and drawbacks can an unmanned weighbridge system solve for enterprises?

In many enterprises, weighbridges are used at entrances, exits, and goods yards to weigh incoming and outgoing vehicles, providing information on vehicle load capacity. However, various issues arise during the vehicle weighing process, such as drivers or weighing personnel using various methods, including vehicle positioning, to cheat, causing economic losses to the enterprise; the low level of informatization during the weighing process, with weighing personnel manually guiding vehicles and recording information, resulting in inefficiency and vehicle congestion during peak periods; and the need for weighing personnel to be on duty at various weighing points, leading to high labor costs.

To address these issues in vehicle weighing, information and intelligent monitoring means are employed to automate the process and replace manual labor.

The unmanned weighbridge system integrates technologies and functions such as a weighing system, monitoring system, card reading equipment, intelligent barriers, and video surveillance, achieving unmanned operation, intelligent voice guidance, multi-faceted anti-cheating measures, and remote monitoring. This system can effectively help enterprises solve the problems and drawbacks encountered in vehicle weighing.

(1) Solving the problem of low weighing efficiency

When a vehicle enters the weighing area, the unmanned weighbridge system uses RFID (or Bluetooth automatic identification) technology to automatically recognize the vehicle's license plate. If an authorized tag is recognized, the barrier opens automatically, and the system provides intelligent voice prompts to guide the driver through the process.

The entire weighing process requires no manual recording or guidance, significantly improving weighing efficiency, speeding up the process, eliminating the need for queuing, and avoiding vehicle congestion caused by weighing.

(2) Reducing the number of weighing personnel and labor costs

Some enterprises have multiple weighing points, requiring numerous weighing personnel to work in shifts, leading to high labor costs. The unmanned weighbridge system automates the weighing process and eliminates the need for so many weighing personnel, solving the issues of excess personnel and high labor costs.

(3) Preventing cheating during the weighing process

Cheating during the vehicle weighing process has always been a significant problem for enterprises, hindering their development and seriously affecting their economic benefits.

The automated weighing terminal transmits weighing data automatically, avoiding errors in manual recording or collaboration between weighing personnel and drivers to cheat. Automatic vehicle recognition and intelligent barriers prevent cheating through the use of vehicle license plates.

The intelligent weighing control system prevents drivers from cheating by manipulating the vehicle's parking position. Video surveillance provides real-time monitoring of the weighing site, allowing managers to remotely monitor the situation and serve as a deterrent to on-site personnel. It also serves as a basis for subsequent investigations.

(4) Addressing the issue of delayed communication between the weighing site and management

Traditional vehicle weighing processes have a low level of informatization, relying on manual reporting, which leads to a disconnection between the weighing site and management information.

Managers cannot promptly obtain weighing data, resulting in delayed management. The unmanned weighbridge system enables real-time transmission of weighing data, including vehicle information, allowing managers to remotely access weighing data. Historical data can be queried and reported, solving the problem of delayed communication between the weighing site and management.

The application of an unmanned weighbridge system at enterprise vehicle weighing points achieves fully automated weighing and unmanned operation, solving a series of problems in vehicle weighing, improving enterprise economic benefits, reducing costs, and enhancing management efficiency.
