Unmanned weighbridge system: Helping the construction industry improve efficiency

Amid the global wave of digital transformation in the construction industry, the unmanned weighbridge system is rapidly evolving from a forward-looking technology to a key infrastructure for enhancing project core competitiveness. By deeply integrating the Internet of Things (IoT), automatic license plate recognition, and cloud data management, this unmanned weighbridge solution not only completely overhauls the traditional and tedious material weighing process but also brings revolutionary benefits to construction enterprises in three core dimensions: cost control, data transparency, and compliance management.

I. Facing Industry Pain Points: The Dilemma of Traditional Material Management

For a long time, material inbound and outbound management at construction sites has relied on manual recording and manual weighing. This mode is not only inefficient but also accompanied by prominent pain points:

• Efficiency Bottlenecks & Congestion: During peak hours, vehicles waiting for weighing form long queues, seriously affecting logistics efficiency and site order.

• High Labor Costs: Dedicated weighbridge operators are required to work in 24-hour shifts, leading to rising labor expenses.

• Data Errors & Fraud Risks: Manual recording is prone to mistakes, and there is a moral hazard of artificial data tampering, resulting in severe material waste and cost out of control.

Information Silos: Weighing data is isolated and delayed, making it difficult to synchronize with project management and financial systems in real time, which fails to support accurate decision-making.

II. Core Advantages: Four Major Transformations Brought by Unmanned Weighbridge System

The manless weighbridge system systematically and fundamentally solves all the above problems through technological means.

Extreme Efficiency, Uninterrupted Operation

The unattended truck scale system realizes the whole-process unmanned operation from vehicle entry, automatic weighing, data collection to receipt printing. Vehicles can be weighed immediately upon arrival, with a single weighing time shortened to less than 30 seconds and traffic efficiency increased by more than 300% . This completely eliminates queuing and congestion, ensuring the smooth flow of the building material supply chain, which is especially suitable for large-scale projects with tight construction schedules

Precise Cost Control, Eliminating Waste

• Fully Automatic Data Collection: The AVS Truck scale automatically records all information such as license plate number, gross weight, tare weight, net weight, time, and cargo photos/videos. Once generated, the data is encrypted and uploaded to the cloud, eliminating the possibility of manual modification.

•Full-Process Video Monitoring: Integrated with 360-degree HD cameras, the avs weighbridge captures and records the entire weighing process for archiving, ensuring that any abnormal behavior can be traced .

Data-Driven Decision-Making, Enhancing Management Transparency

All weighing data is synchronized to the cloud management platform in real time. Project managers, procurement and financial supervisors can check the data anytime and anywhere through computers or mobile APPs . These real-time and accurate data provide a solid basis for project progress control, procurement plan optimization, and supplier evaluation, promoting the profound transformation of project management from "experience-driven" to "data-driven".

III. Widely Used Scenarios in Construction

The manless weighbridge has been widely applied in various construction scenarios, achieving remarkable results:

• Commercial Concrete Batching Plants: Precisely measure the inbound of raw materials such as sand, gravel and cement, and the outbound of concrete, ensuring accurate material data for production management.

• Large Infrastructure Projects (e.g., highways, railways, bridges): Efficiently manage large quantities of materials such as earthwork, asphalt and steel, supporting the smooth progress of large-scale construction.

• Commercial & Residential Real Estate Project: Control main building materials such as steel bars, concrete and blocks.

Prefabricated Component Factories: Track raw material procurement and finished product delivery.

IV. Conclusion

The application of unmanned weighbridge system in the construction industry is not only a technological upgrade but also a management innovation.
