KEY TAKEAWAYS

As technology advances, networks become faster and more reliable, scale accuracy and user- friendliness improve and customers expect more convenience and better results from their systems

Buyers should expect a minimum accuracy of +/-1% margin of error or better for loader scales, excavators at better than 3% margin of error and conveyor scales better than +/-0,5%

Trimble LOADRITE X2350 excavator scales help prevent lost productivity through optimised loadout and other loading operations using payload tracking and real-time mass-haul visibility

Today’s modern weighing systems provide a networked, holistic view of operations, enabling site managers and operators to respond proactively with each load, as well as site-/project-wide by the hour, day and week

Today’s loader scales like those from Loadrite provide more accurate payload weight.

X2350 excavator scales help pre- vent lost productivity through opti- mised loadout and other loading operations using payload tracking and real-time mass-haul visibility. There is a substantial return on investment (ROI) in the latest technology, including a changeout to aftermarket scales from OEM scales that may lack the newest features. New improvements and capabilities give a clear path to easier operation, improved efficiency, more productivity and a healthier bottom line. Seeing the big picture As onboard scales evolved beyond the basics of accurate weighing, the focus broadened to tackle larger real- world problems. What shortcomings exist and how do we address them? How can we better leverage data to make a bigger impact? Today’s modern weighing systems

Today’s systems let operators and managers accurately track production data, optimise truck loading and eliminate overloading and costly fines.

provide a networked, holistic view of operations, enabling site managers and operators to respond proactively with each load, as well as site-/proj- ect-wide by the hour, day and week. Increased productivity goes beyond faster, more accurate loading. It now directly impacts the bottom line each phase and across the entire project. Scales attached fleet-wide give management the “pulse” of the entire operation. Measuring each part of an operation and centralising and integrating data to a web portal creates a business intelligence system that offers management an entirely new perspective. These systems let operators and managers accurately track production data, optimise truck loading and eliminate overloading and costly fines. Fleet and site managers gain greater visibility into overall site operations.
