Unattended Operation
The unattended tWeigh system works in conjunction with a touch-screen
monitor for user interface and a kiosk control module mounted near the truck scale,
to produce scale tickets for customers without the presence of a scale operator.
Unattended operation saves time and cuts labor costs.
The monitor and control module are typically mounted in a metal cabinet, along with a thermal ticket printer, keyboard, and other options as needed. The scale indicator can be mounted inside the kiosk or in the office. In order for the unattended system to function, the tWeigh program must be running on the computer inside the office.
Typical operation involves the truck driver pulling onto the scale, approaching the unattended station, and scanning a barcode card or RFID card encoded with the vehicle ID. The kiosk then communicates with the tWeigh program to verify the vehicle ID. Information associated with the vehicle, including the Customer and Material ID, is sent back to the unattended station.
The driver verifies that all information is correct, and presses the "Accept" or "Print" key. The weight is captured, and the data stored in the tWeigh computer system. A ticket is then printed for the driver at the unattended station.
