2 System Background
Weighing System
To measure is to know
JOHANNES KEPLER, 1571 to 1630
Business requires knowledge (measurements) about various aspects of the business in order to be
efficient and effective. Mass measuring can contribute to a range of production issues in most
businesses.
Background
The need for weighing or mass measuring is explicitly part of the production process in businesses that
involve the acceptance/delivery of bulk/raw/processed materials or products e.g. sand, stone, grapes,
wheat, cement, concrete, etc. These business processes require a controlled and secure environment
that will ensure that a proper audit trail is kept of exactly what happened, when, who was involved, and
how much. (Quantities usually translate into monetary equivalents and are therefor all-important).
Both the "customer" and the "supplier" require a trusted source that will vouch for what occurred at
their interface.
Other businesses can benefit indirectly from mass measuring. For example:
· Weighing vehicles during the entry and exit to a plant could be a way of monitoring pilfering, any
unexplained discrepancies that may arise will result in further investigation.
· Transport businesses need to ensure that the loading of their vehicles is within the limits
prescribed by the road ordinance, or else be subject to considerable fines.
Weighing System
The Weighing System is a software product aimed at supporting various weighing requirements. The

System Background 4
standard product provides the following functions (not all may be required by a particular application):
· Registering and maintenance of various "static" information groups, such as: vehicles, customers,
hauliers, orders and products.
· Weighing of vehicles.
· Axle weighing
· Uploading or downloading of information to/from an ERP or other system
Maintenance of static information

The main purpose of the Weighing System is to support the various weighing operations. However,
each weighing needs to be put into context with regard to its relevant variable information, e.g. the
identification of the customer, product, vehicle, etc. By maintaining this information using a separate
function, the operator performing the weighing is greatly assisted in that the entry of information is
limited to the selection from a set of available options presented.
An optional function within the standard Weighing System includes the importation of the required
"static" information from files prepared by another system.
Weighing
A weighing application typically involves two real-time weighings.
The description that follows is for a business that receives raw material from a supplier. However,
many other permutations are possible.
Weigh IN Weigh OUT
The first weighing will be the arrival of a truck from the supplier with a load of raw material. The
operator will typically identify and enter all the information relevant to the transaction: supplier, product,
vehicle, order number, etc. The vehicle will be stationary on the weighbridge at the time of weighing.
All the relevant information (including date and time) is then stored waiting for the second weighing.
Ticket/Delivery note example

The second weighing occurs when the (now empty) truck departs from the plant. The operator will
identify the truck and the weight will be recorded by the system as per the weighbridge. This
measurement completes the transaction and the difference between the two measurements is
recorded as the delivered mass. The system prints at this time a delivery ticket that includes most of
the recorded information.
Note that it is possible to use tare mass as an alternative to the second weighing. This mode of
operation will require tare to be established (either manually or by using the separate "tare weighing"
function).
Import/Export of Information
The key information required by the rest of the business is the completed transactions. The standard
Weighing System provides an export mechanism where the completed transactions are formatted
according to one of the available options and recorded in a file. The target system can then read the
information from this output file for further processing.
An import/export mechanism is also provided for the exchange primarily of "static" information. This
may also include order information.
User Defined Fields

A number of user defined fields are available. The user can utilise this facility to add own fields to the
system that can be captured as required.
Features Summary
· A standardised package based on commercial off the shelf products
· It can be interfaced to all types of weighing equipment:
· Weigh bridges
· Platform scales
· Laboratory scales
· It has been used in all types of industry:
· Factories
· Mining
· Farming
· Commercial
· Various standardised reports
· Public weighing
· User defined fields
· Backup and restore
· Scale / Bridge configuration, can allow manual entry
· System recovery
· Security
· Error / log reporting
· Low cost
Business Benefits
Most of the business benefits to be gained have been alluded to above. The question may arise why
this functionality could not be incorporated in of the existing computer systems. One of key the
characteristics of a typical weighing application is that it has a real-time nature. This implies that it
should be responsive, must be highly available and quite often requires 24(hours) x7(days) operation.
With current technologies these requirements can be best achieved using a stand-alone system. Such
a system should be able to continue operation in spite of failing communications lines or external
systems.
Architecture
The Weighing System software is executed on one or more standard PC workstations. These

System Background 6
workstations are interconnected on a Local Area Network (LAN) and share a database. A controlling
workstation is connected to the various devices that need to be controlled/monitored. See diagram
below:
Workstation Network Remote system
Controller
Weighbridge
The Weighing System software runs a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a Windows platform. The
software has been constructed such as to allow the easy configuration of options and the introduction
of new functions.
Optional extensions to the Weighing System

The standard Weighing System can be extended to accommodate other customer requirements. The
following functions are requirements that typically arise:
· Automated weighing: this usually involves the use of smart cards as a means of identifying the
driver.
· Access control: this usually requires the installation of booms, robots and sensors.
· Security cameras: A number of cameras may be positioned around the weighbridge. At the time
of weighing (or any other time as defined) photos are taken and stored with the weighing. This
function will support a supervisor in the investigation of any suspicious transactions.
· On-line interfaces to other systems. In some applications it may be a requirement that certain
information be exchanged with other systems on a real-time basis (ex. stock control).
Apart from the above more common extensions, the scope of possible extensions could be very wide.
Such extensions may involve the integration of available components/applications (e.g. an accounting
package), or the development of a complete bespoke solution.
Axle Weighing
Background
Businesses that transport heavy goods/material need to ensure that the loading of their vehicles is
within the limits prescribed by the road ordinance or else be subject to considerable fines. The road
authorities have indicated that the checking of transport vehicles will be increased – on some routes a
100% inspection rate is expected.
It is more cost effective to incur the cost of a weighing capability than to be subject to the fines that will
result due to overloading. At the same time, the knowledge gained by axle weighing will make it
apparent to what extent current loads could have been increased.
Axle System
The Axle System is a software product aimed at supporting axle weighing in a number of different
modes. The standard product provides the following functions (not all may be required by a particular
application):
· Registering and maintenance of various "static" information groups, such as: vehicles, drivers,
customers and products.

· Weighing of axles.
· Uploading or downloading of information from an ERP or other system
Maintenance of static information

The main purpose of the Axle System is to support the various weighing operations. However, each
weighing needs to be put into context with regard to its relevant variable information, e.g. the
identification of the driver, product, vehicle, etc. By maintaining this information using a separate
function, the operator performing the weighing is greatly assisted in that the entry of information is
limited to the selection from a set of available options presented.
Axle Weighing
The weighing process/mode is largely determined by the specific bridge configuration and also the
objective to be achieved. At the completion of the weighing process an axle weighing ticket is printed.
Axle weighing modes

Definitions:
An Axle is
A Group is
Types of axle weighing

1. All axle groups on or off a full length weigh bridge.
In this operation there are two modes:-
1.1 Weigh onto the bridge (vehicle off bridge to start)
The vehicle will drive ON to the bridge one group at a time and each group will be weighed.
1.2 Weigh off the bridge (vehicle on bridge to start)

The vehicle will drive OFF the bridge one group at a time
2. A single axle scale

The vehicle will drive onto the bridge one axle at a time and be weighed until all individual axles are
weighed. Only one axle at a time is weighed
3. All axles on or off a full length weigh bridge

The vehicle will drive onto the bridge one axle at a time and be weighed after each axle is on the bridge
until all axles are on the bridge

System Background 8
4. A platform scale (weighs group)

The vehicle will drive a group of axles onto the bridge and be weighed. This will be repeated for each
group.
5. A multi-platform scale (weighs groups at one time)

This consists of 4 separate in-line platform scales. The vehicle will drive all groups onto the multi-
platforms and the groups will be read at one time.
Axle Weighing Ticket

The axle weighing ticket summarises all the information gathered and inferred from the weighing.
Those weights that fall outside the set limits are highlighted.
Import/Export of Information
The key information to be transferred to the rest of the business is the end result of the process. The
standard Axle System provides an export mechanism where the completed transactions are formatted
according to one of the available options and recorded in a file. The target system can then read the
information from this output file for further processing.
An import/export mechanism is also provided for the exchange primarily of "static" information.
Features Summary
· A standardised package based on commercial off the shelf products

· It has been used in all types of industry:
· Factories
· Mining
· Farming
· Commercial
· Various standardised reports
· User defined fields
· Backup and restore
· System recovery
· Security
· Error / log reporting
· Low cost
· High availability (24x7)
Business Benefits
Most of the business benefits to be gained have been alluded to above. The business case to
motivate its introduction will probably include the following:
1. Cost savings can be achieved by avoiding fines for overloading
2. Revenues can be increased by being able to carry higher loads (up to the maximum allowed)
3. Other business efficiencies may result due to the accurate and timely measurement of loads
transported.

Public Weighing
Background
3 Overview of system functions

The Wayware program provides various functions to the user which ensures that reliable records of
road goods dispatched, road raw materials receipts, rail raw materials receipts are captured, and
that this information is transferred from the Wayware database to the ERP sytem database via
interface routines.
Additional functionality is also available as modules added to the standard core system and is activated
by means of product key.
These modules are sold separately and may be added to the standard core system at any time.
In summary these functions may be described as follows:

Overview of system functions 10
1. Goods Dispatch by road
Process:
A vehicle is loaded, weighed and dispatched with the required order(s)/product(s)
Sequence of events:
The truck arrives and falls into the queue outside the customers premises
A card is assigned to the driver and information pertaining to the transaction is captured and
loading ticket is printed
The driver waits for his turn to weigh empty
The truck drives onto the weighbridge
The empty mass of the truck is recorded (Weigh goods 1)
The driver now has a unique valid load number, drives to dispatch and reports to the dispatch
office
He gives the card to the dispatch
Dispatch authorizes loading of the product by swiping the truck card assigned to the truck driver
The truck waits to be loaded
The load is prepared for loading and the supervisor is called to inspect
The supervisor swipes the card at the loading bay to capture the loading start time
The truck is loaded and the supervisor is called to inspect the loaded truck
The supervisor again swipes the card at the loading bay to capture the loading end time and hands
all the relevant documents together with the swipe card to the truck driver
The loaded truck drives to the weighbridge to weigh the full load (Weigh goods 2) and the driver
hands the card back to the weighbridge clerk
The full mass of the truck is recorded, tolerances checked and a weighbridge ticket and Delivery
Note/s is issued.
The truck departs
Optional functionalities available:

Bulk weigh compartment which is used to record the mass loading in different truck
compartments. Each compartment may load different products
Axle weighing to allow a driver to check the weight distribution over different axle groups
Supervisor authorisation to allow a transaction to proceed under exceptional conditions
Capture load times to allow the supervisor to fix load (start and end) times of the load process
Reports may be run on demand

10.1.1 Menu access maintenance

Prior to registring the users of the Weighware system, careful attention needs to be given to the access
levels you wish to enforce for the system.
Access levels range from 1 to 9 with 9 being the highest level of access therefore allowing a 9 level
user to all functions of the system. A level 1 user would then have limited access to the system.
A guideline to structure your access levels would be to determine the groups of users that will be
working with the Weighman system, ex. System administrator, weighbridge operator, bulk load
operator, admin etc. If the admin group of users are allocated a level 1 access to only print reports, the
Menu access maintenance function is used to setup the admin group menu in such a way that only the
report options are available. If however the weighbridge operators need to access their relevant
functions as well as the report options, a higher number than 1 would be required to achieve this level
of access.
To perform Menu access maintenance
1. Log in as system administrator and click Configuration, System configuration and then Menu
access maintenance.
The Menu access maintenance screen appears.
2. As the system is provided with entries for this register, you may only click Update to maintein the
selected entry.
The update screen appears.

3. Make the adjustments, TAB and click Save.
4. The adjusted entry will appear in the register of entries.
