Weighbridges play a crucial role in the logistics industry for weighing trucks and cargo. However, traditional manual weighbridge systems can be inefficient, impacting logistics operations. Automating the weighbridge process with a system like automatic truck scales from Truckscale-CN helps eliminate bottlenecks for improved efficiency.

Key Benefits of an Automated Weighbridge System

  1. Faster throughput - Trucks can drive continuously on and off the scale, speeding up the weighing process.
  2. Increased accuracy - Automated truck scales use advanced load cells to provide precise measurements.
  3. Saved administration - Digital ticket systems capture all weighing data automatically with no manual paperwork.

How Automation Improves Logistics Operations

With automated weighbridges, logistics companies gain several competitive advantages:

  • Faster turnaround times - Trucks spend less time at weighbridges, expediting deliveries.
  • Increased cargo handling - Higher throughput allows more loads to pass over the weighbridge daily.
  • Advanced analytics - Digital data provides insights into fleet performance and load optimization.

Case Study - Automated Weighbridge Installation

A major logistics terminal handling 600+ trucks daily struggled with long queues at their weighbridge, causing delays. They installed an automatic truck scale system from Truckscale-CN with RFID tags and ticket printers. This allowed contactless ID verification and digital ticket issuance, doubling throughput to over 1200 trucks per day. The automated weighbridge improved efficiency whilst eliminating safety risks.
