Increase productivity with onboard weighing systems

Onboard weighing systems are a valuable investment for drivers, fleet managers and dispatchers. Bringing the scale to the product, rather than the product to the scale, helps business owners achieve the maximum payload without any risk of overloading. Onboard weighing systems can save you time and money, and they can help increase the productivity of your operation.

AccuOnboard is Australia’s most experienced and professional weighing company. With experienced service staff in eight branches across Australia, they can give you the best advice on what kind of onboard weighing system is right for your business.

More accurate weight readings for maximum payload

Onboard weighing systems remove all the guesswork when you load vehicles, as they provide highly precise weight readings. When a weighing system delivers accurate weights the first time, every time, vehicles can be loaded to their maximum legal limit. This ensures that trucks don’t go out under-loaded, or overloaded and you can optimise efficiency by transporting as much as possible, thus maximising your payload capacity.

Weighing on-the-go speeds up operations

It’s possible to streamline site operations by using onboard weighing systems to weigh in real time. Instead of loading a vehicle and taking it to a weighbridge to be measured, workers can simply weigh materials as they’re loaded onto the vehicle. For example, if a site relies on weighbridges or floor scales, it’s necessary to move a load onto the floor scale or make a trip to the weighbridge before stock can be delivered to its final location. By switching to an onboard weighing system, it’s possible to pick up a load, weigh it as it is being moved, and then drop the stock at its final destination. This ability to weigh, record and move, all in one operation, significantly speeds up site operations. It allows you to move more goods in less time, send out correctly loaded vehicles more quickly, and minimise operator effort – making your worksite more efficient and productive.

Use weight data to enhance productivity

Onboard weighing systems come with software integration that allows the operator to download weight data and import it to a computer. This data is not just useful for historical record keeping and invoicing – you can also use it to track site operations and analyse them in order to enhance productivity.

Reduce waste

Reducing waste is essential for any business looking to improve its bottom line. Product wastage is unfortunately a common occurrence, particularly if your product is fertiliser, feed, or other product that needs to be mixed in batches. Weighing ingredients precisely means you can avoid inadvertently using too much product in a batch. Reducing vehicle movements also helps to minimise wastage, as you’ll save on the additional fuel, machine and tyre maintenance that is ordinarily spent driving to and from weighbridges.
