Monitoring weighbridge operations for a leading aggregates supplier
Managing quarry weightridges at scale
A leading quarry and building materials company wanted to provide all truck drivers leaving their QLD quarries with a live view of their load and how it was placed within the truck body. The driver needed to ensure the load was centered before leaving site. This ensured drivers that the load was safe and thus helping reduce the risk of a vehicle roll over. If there was an incident, it was imperative that footage was available to help with the investigation. The optimal time to get the driver to view the truck load was while the truck was on the weigh bridge. Vision Intelligence was tasked with providing a camera system that could capture the load contents, display it in real time (wireless) to a monitor for the driver to view and also capture critical information such as the truck numberplate and if possible a view of the weigh bridge scales.
A fully connected monitoring solution
Vision Intelligence visited each site in QLD and tendered a customised camera configuration to suit.
Our team supplied a custom designed and manufactured solution that offered multiple angles covering the weigh bridge. One lens was positioned 6m high, to provide the driver with a live birds eye view of the content and positioning of the load on a monitor. A second lens was positioned lower, approx. 2m from ground height. This lens would capture the truck's registration. In some cases, a third camera covered the weigh bridge scale.
In action, a video is saved of each truck passing over the weigh bridge to the onboard storage device and also uploaded a series of still shots to a cloud server where it is time and date stamped and kept as a permanent record.
Quarry staff have access to the cameras via the Vision Intelligence app which gives them live streaming capabilities from anywhere in the country of their weigh bridge. Vision Intelligence also designed a maintenance portal for internal use to ensure the network and its customised functions. The customer were given access to a viewing portal to assist them in monitoring a large network of cameras, this helping them access data quickly and efficiently.
