BizSpeed has released support for wireless truck scale integration with Mettler Toledo and Fairbanks electronic scales. According to Chris Henry, BizSpeed’s President, “We’re excited to provide support for truck scales. This is particularly helpful for bulk customers, as the wireless integration with our goRoam mobile allows fully electronic integration where a driver can roll over the scale, print a ticket from the scale and have their volume calculated automatically by goRoam when they weigh heavy and weigh light.”
From a driver standpoint, the wireless integration allows drivers to have their volume calculated automatically without having to rekey or manually calculate. From a management standpoint, we electronically capture truck weight from the scale in near real-time, so you know when and what the truck plus product weighed. For single product deliveries, such as bulk bleach, we calculate volume based on the product density and product weight, minus the weight of the truck and trailer. This allows management to know exactly how much product was loaded.
Each delivery in the goRoam mobile application records quantities delivered per tank, along with stick readings. Drivers know exactly how much inventory is left on the truck at each stop, and management has the same visibility in near real-time. When drivers return to the plant and weight light, we calculate the remaining product and can compare that against deliveries for exception reporting.
With the goRoam and MobileHub architecture, BizSpeed has a straightforward model for additional scale model integration. The current models supported are:
- Mettler Toledo IND780 for existing Model 7560 MTS
- Fairbanks FB 3000 Series Instrument
