Increase in number of trucks handled per weighbridgeÂ
THE CHALLENGE
While the company’s plants continuously produce and transport huge volumes of ore and finished products, it’s often challenged with the delivery mechanism and supply chain processes involving the movements of materials and trucks from yards to plants.Â
THE NEED
The logistics team faces many transport-related problemsÂ
Better management for the transportation of raw material and finished goods from plant to plant and plant-to-customersÂ
Vehicle identification on a real-time basisÂ
Traffic congestion-related issues need to be addressed promptly and the efficiency of each activity can be improvedÂ
OUR SOLUTION
Infotek customized the weighbridge automation software. With passive RFID tags mounted on the trucks and RFID hardware installed at the weighbridge, we were able to log critical process-level information in real-time. The software was integrated with peripheral devices like weighbridge-indicator, printers, traffic lights, position-sensor, hooter-alarm, cameras, and boom barriers.Â
