How Does an Unmanned Weighbridge System Work?

An unmanned weighbridge is an automation solution that carries out the weighing process without personnel at the weighbridge. It is especially convenient for businesses that operate 24/7, have multiple weighbridges, or weigh at remote sites.

Step-by-step weighing

1. The vehicle approaches the weighbridge and the camera reads the license plate.
2. The system matches the plate with registered vehicles; if necessary, the driver scans an RFID card.
3. The traffic light turns green, the barrier opens, and the vehicle drives onto the platform.
4. Position sensors confirm that the vehicle is fully on the platform.
5. Once the weight stabilizes, the weighing is recorded and the camera footage is added to the record.
6. A receipt is printed or sent digitally, and the exit barrier opens.

Benefits

• Reduced staffing needs for night and weekend weighings
• Elimination of human recording errors and the risk of irregularities
• Shorter queue times
• Video-recorded and time-stamped archiving of all weighings

An unmanned system can also be added to your existing weighbridge. During the site survey, we plan vehicle flow, camera placement and barrier layout together.
