Weighing Automation

 As the name suggests, weighing automation is a process of measuring the weights of materials automatically. These arrangements are used in various industries from different sectors to measure materials at an initial phase to final product phase. The dependence of on the weighing methods is growing as these methods offers high accuracy and also can be used for multiple purposes. Weighing automation system works in two manners; the first one being a sensory measurement of weight and converting it to electrical form. Additionally, large industries are increasingly shifting from manual weighing machines to innovative electronic weighing machines. Vast investments are being done in various manufacturing industries in order to get automated handling devices

Every stage of production relies on weighing & measurement. Automated weighing systems help to simplify faster packaging by emancipating human employees for more skilled operations. In quality control settings, automated weighing systems provide a standard of measurement, then automatically decide which products meet that standard so that consumers never receive a sub-par product or the incorrect quantity of a product. Automated weighing systems also help ease transportation of finished goods, to make sure that products leave the factory & arrive to the sale venue as quickly & safely as possible. These tasks could be performed without the practice of a weighing system, but it would greatly decrease efficiency, as both the amount of time required to complete each task & the possibility of error would greatly increase. Automated weighing systems help facilitate production by making the process as quick, accurate & painless as possible.

Ways to Automate A Weighbridge

 
In order to streamline the weighing process and increase the productivity of an establishment, these are the essential elements of weighbridge automation:

Driver Operated Terminals

 
With driver operated terminals, there is an unmanned weighbridge station, leading to the full utilisation of your weighbridge. With the inclusion of an easy driver interface that can be voice-activated, the whole process of vehicles coming and going from your site becomes as simple as possible. The almost limitless amount of information storage on driver, supplier, weight and product also means you will have all the data you need.

Traffic Management

 
There needs to be a sense of responsibility, when it comes to the drivers entering and exiting the site, while one tracks an automated weighbridge system. To co-operate, automated traffic management systems can be coupled with a driver-operated weighbridge terminal, implying that one still gets complete control over the number of vehicles entering and exiting, without cramming at the site.

Number Plate Recognition

 
Sometimes referred to as ANPR cameras (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), the number plate recognition cameras will join in with automated weighbridge software to simplify setting up automation for your weighbridge. This adds an additional layer of security for the site, delivering a smooth data relay with the database.
