South-African legislation requires that the mass of a vehicle does not exceed the published legal limit. Failure to comply can and do result in hefty fines. This not only applies to the gross vehicle mass but also to the individual axles and axle groups of the vehicle. To ensure compliance and avoid penalties, investing in a Wayware axle weighing system is crucial for businesses that rely on transportation and logistics.

 The Government Gazette 38142, published on October 31, 2014, introduced new amendments that made it the responsibility of the consignor and consignee to avoid overloading. To help businesses comply with these regulations, Wayware offers an innovative and cost-effective software-based solution that can transform your existing full-length weighbridge into an axle weigher.

 Wayware supports axle weighing for various types and sizes of weighbridges. For full-length weighbridges, masses are recorded as the vehicle drives on or off the weighbridge. Single axle weighbridges allow for the recording of each individual axle's mass, which is then summed up to check for overloading on axle groups and gross mass. Axle group weighbridges provide a means of weighing each axle group and summing their individual masses. Multi-platform weighbridges can weigh all axle groups simultaneously without the need for the vehicle to drive forward after each weighing.

 One of the key features of Wayware's axle weighing system is the ability to print an axle weighing ticket showing all mass recordings and whether any legal limits have been exceeded. This documentation serves as proof that the truck was not overloaded at the time it left your premises, providing protection against potential fines and legal issues.

 Wayware also offers detailed online/ offline reports that show the full history of all axle weighing performed. These reports can be used for analysis and internal record-keeping purposes. Additionally, the system allows for adjustable tolerances and limits, giving businesses the flexibility to set their own parameters based on their specific industry regulations and requirements.

 In terms of operation, Wayware supports both static and in-motion axle weighing. Static axle weighing requires the vehicle to stop and wait for the mass on the weighbridge to stabilise before the measurement is taken. In-motion axle weighing, on the other hand, allows the vehicle to drive on or off the weighbridge at a slow, continuous speed, with Wayware analysing the mass as it increases and calculating the axle group masses. In-motion weighing is faster than static weighing and can significantly improve turnaround times for businesses that deal with high volumes of vehicles.

 Investing in a professional axle weighing system brings several advantages. Firstly, it ensures compliance with legislation, reducing the risk of fines and legal issues. Secondly, it provides businesses with proof that their trucks were not overloaded, protecting their reputation and credibility. Lastly, in-motion weighing can enhance operational efficiency and turnaround times, optimizing logistics and increasing productivity.
