Customer Challenge

• Manual weighing was slow, with each truck taking 3–5 minutes, causing long queues and driver complaints.
• Weight data was manually entered into the TMS, leading to frequent human errors and billing disputes.
• There was no effective way to prevent cheating, such as incomplete weighing or repeated weighing.
• Labor costs were high, requiring multiple operators per shift for weighing and data entry.
• Managers lacked real-time visibility into weighing operations and could not monitor multiple sites remotely.
• The existing system could not integrate with the company’s TMS, WMS, and customer billing platforms.

Our Solution

Xuzhou Spear Weighing Equipment Co., Ltd. provided a complete intelligent logistics weighing solution tailored to the park’s high-traffic environment. The system included:

• Digital electronic truck scale: 3 × 18 m platform with IP68 digital load cells, OIML Class III accuracy, and anti-corrosion treatment for outdoor use.
• Unattended weighing system: RFID/IC card readers, license plate recognition cameras, barrier gates, traffic lights, LED guide displays, and voice prompts for fully automated driver self-service.
• Anti-cheating measures: Infrared beam sensors to ensure the truck is fully on the platform, video snapshot capture, and automatic comparison of card, plate, and weight data.
• Cloud data platform: Real-time upload of all weighing records, automatic report generation, and remote monitoring via web and mobile apps.
• TMS/WMS integration: Open API and database interfaces to synchronize weighing data with the client’s transportation and warehouse management systems for automatic billing and inventory updates.
• UPS backup and surge protection: To ensure continuous operation during power fluctuations and protect sensitive electronics.

Results

• Dramatically faster weighing: Average weighing time reduced from 3–5 minutes to 30–60 seconds per truck, eliminating peak-hour queues.
• Labor cost reduction: Unattended operation reduced 4 weighing operators per shift, saving significant annual labor costs.
• Improved data accuracy: Automatic data capture eliminated manual entry errors, reducing billing disputes by over 90%.
• Stronger anti-cheating capability: Triple verification by card, license plate, and video effectively prevented fraudulent weighing practices.
• Real-time visibility: Managers can monitor weighing operations, truck status, and daily throughput from any location via the cloud platform.
• Seamless TMS integration: Weighing data automatically flows into the TMS for billing, order tracking, and customer reporting, improving overall operational efficiency.
• High system reliability: The system has been running stably 24/7 since installation, with minimal maintenance requirements.
