**1. Overview**
The rapid development of China's economy has significantly increased the demand for energy companies and polluting industries. While production efficiency is high, the physical strain on workers must not be overlooked. In certain sectors, traditional manual data entry methods are no longer sufficient to meet the requirements of modern, symmetric management systems. As a result, there is a growing need for fast, accurate, and efficient weighing solutions. The ability to network multiple truck scales, share data seamlessly, manage weighing information effectively, and implement unattended and anti-fraud weighing systems has become essential for businesses aiming to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.
In response to these evolving needs, many capable enterprises have started developing unattended weighing management systems. These systems offer more than just a basic weighing device—they provide a comprehensive solution for managing weighbridge operations. By integrating an automatic vehicle identification system, companies can enhance both the speed and accuracy of their weighing processes. This leads to more reliable measurement results, better resource sharing, and improved financial and transportation settlement processes. Additionally, it allows for precise tracking of materials entering the facility, supporting better inventory control and decision-making.
The system typically consists of a digital electronic truck scale combined with an automatic vehicle identification management system. When a vehicle equipped with an electronic tag passes through the weighing area, the system automatically detects whether it belongs to the authorized fleet. If so, the vehicle is guided to the scale without requiring manual intervention. The system then automatically identifies the vehicle number, records the weight, and stores the data efficiently. This greatly improves work efficiency, reduces human error, and enhances overall enterprise management. It is now widely used in industries such as thermal power plants, waste treatment facilities, and cement factories.
**2. Working Principle**
Each vehicle is fitted with an electronic tag that is uniquely associated with its license plate number. When the vehicle passes through the designated area, the antenna emits an RF signal that is picked up by the electronic tag. The tag then modulates and reflects the signal back to the reader, allowing the system to automatically retrieve the vehicle’s information. Based on this data, the system can issue commands to guide the vehicle onto the scale, identify the vehicle number, record the weight, and store the data securely. This automation streamlines the entire process, reducing delays and improving the accuracy of measurements.
**3. Vehicle Automatic Identification Weighing System**
The system comprises several key components, including:
- **Basic Components**
- Digital truck scale
- Vehicle identification system (including long-range UHF card reader and UHF remote card)
- Vehicle guidance system (such as traffic lights and railing machine with vehicle detector)
- Anti-error weighing system (light curtain computer)
- Automatic weighing management software
- Electrical actuator (including electrical control cabinet, switching power supply, UPS, surge protector, I/O card, and multi-serial interface card)
- **Optional Components**
- Voice module (speaker, sound card, and software)
- Network module (network interface and support software)
- Monitoring module (surveillance camera and monitoring software)
- Database module (server, SQL server database, and operating system)
The core of the system lies in its automatic vehicle identification technology. This enables the system to read vehicle information automatically, which then allows the backend software to perform various tasks efficiently and accurately.

**5. Description**
The vehicle automatic identification weighing system is not a one-size-fits-all product; it is a complete weighing management solution tailored to specific industry and customer needs. Each system may vary depending on the application and requirements. To ensure the best fit, customers should clearly define their needs based on discussions with technical experts. This ensures that the system meets all operational and management requirements, from the measurement process to data management and real-time monitoring.
Key aspects include precise measurement procedures, technical specifications for the truck scale, and the need for anti-fraud measures, automated weighing, multi-scale networking, centralized data management, and on-site visibility.
**6. Benefits of the Vehicle Automatic Identification Weighing System to Users**
- High-precision, high-quality digital truck scale with long-term stable operation.
- Accurate material measurement helps reduce costs as material prices continue to rise.
- Prevents fraud and minimizes potential losses for the company.
- Enables networked data management, providing valuable insights for finance, procurement, and planning.
- Enhances efficiency through automated weighing processes.
This system offers a smart, secure, and efficient way to manage weighing operations, making it a valuable asset for any business looking to optimize its logistics and operations.
