Weighbridge systems (hardware and software systems) are essential tools in various industries to accurately measure the mass of goods being transported – dispatched or delivered. They are commonly used in road and rail weighbridge operations, dispatching, receiving, returning, transfer, and other logistical operations. Weighbridge systems play a crucial role in ensuring that the invoicing process is accurate and compliant with legal requirements. In this article, we will explore the various applications and features of weighbridge systems.
Road and Rail Weighbridge Operations:
One of the primary applications of weighbridge systems is in road and rail operations. Weighbridges are strategically placed at entry and exit points of warehouses, mines, ports, and logistics centres to measure the weight of vehicles carrying goods. Weighbridge systems calculate and determine the exact mass of the products being dispatched, received, or returned. Accurate measurements are essential for invoicing purposes and ensuring compliance with regulations.
Dispatching, Receiving, Returning, Transfer, and other Operations:
Mastech weighbridge systems supplied with Wayware software are also used in various logistical operations such as dispatching, receiving, returning, and transfer of goods. By accurately measuring the mass of the products, these systems ensure that the invoicing process is precise. Weighbridge systems help in tracking inventory as goods move in and out of warehouses or distribution centres.
Products Sold in Bulk and Products Sold in Units:
Weighbridge systems are not limited to measuring bulk products only. They can also be used to weigh unitized products such as pallets, bags, or boxes. This feature ensures that the theoretical number of units on the vehicle corresponds to the actual mass on the weighbridge. It helps in detecting any discrepancies and avoids potential loss or fraud.
Summary of Features:
Weighbridge systems (hardware and software) as supplied by Mastech come with a range of features that enhance their functionality and usefulness. Here are some of the key features:
1. Accurate Recording: Weighbridge systems accurately record the mass of any dispatched, received, or returned bulk products, as required by law for invoicing purposes.
2. Weighing Unitized Products: They can weigh unitized products to enforce the correlation between the number of units and the actual mass on the weighbridge.
3. Ticket Printing and Reporting: Weighbridge systems can generate weighbridge tickets and provide flexible reporting capabilities for all data stored in the system. This facilitates record-keeping and analysis.
4. Additional Modules/ application Templates: Many weighbridge systems offer additional modules to extend the system's functionality, such as axle weighing, peak weighing, camera integration, access control boom integration, integration into ERP systems, stored tare weighing, tolerance checks, automated bulk loading, automatic vehicle identification, user access control, and fingerprint user identification.
5. SMS Notifications: Weighbridge systems can be integrated with SMS or email notifications, providing real-time updates to relevant stakeholders regarding weighing operations, vehicle status, or any deviations from expected values.
