Weighbridge Automation — Quarry, Cement & Sand-Brick Plants

Quarries, cement works and sand-brick plants weigh trucks in and out continuously. PacketDCS automated the weighbridge, capturing weights, vehicle identity and tickets without an operator at the scale.
Delivered project

Challenge

The problem on the line

Manual weighing is slow, queues build up, tickets are error-prone and there is no automatic check for unrecorded or abnormal weight events.

Solution

Weighbridge sensor integration with automatic weight capture
Camera + vehicle identification tied to each transaction
Automatic ticketing and record-keeping
Anomaly detection for unmatched or abnormal weight events
Data surfaced in the PacketDCS command centre

What we deployed

PacketDCS Edge gateway at the weighbridge
Weight-sensor and camera integration
ANPR / vehicle identification per transaction
Automatic ticketing with anomaly rules
Command-centre dashboard and reports

Outcomes
