Advanced Weigh-In-Motion Weighbridge Solutions
The weigh-in-motion (WIM) system allows to weigh a moving vehicle on the move, contrary to the limitations faced by static weighing systems. This has lower accuracy in the range of 2 to 2.5% less than the conventional static weighing system. Weigh in Motion 120MT/150MT with platform size 3200×550mm.
Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) technology revolutionizes the way vehicles are weighed. Unlike static weighing systems, WIM allows vehicles to be weighed while moving, eliminating the need for stopping, which enhances efficiency and convenience. It’s particularly useful for weighing heavy-duty trucks and vehicles on highways or industrial premises.
Comparing Weigh-In-Motion vs. Static Weighing Systems
| Feature | Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) | Static Weighing System |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy | 2-2.5% less accurate than static | Highly accurate |
| Efficiency | High (no need to stop vehicles) | Low (vehicles must stop) |
| Cost | Higher initial cost, lower OPEX | Lower initial cost |
| Maintenance | Less frequent | More frequent |
| Use Cases | Highways, industrial areas | Weigh stations, factories |
Applications of WIM Technology
WIM systems are versatile and can be used in various applications, such as:
- Highway Toll Monitoring: Ensures that tolls are calculated based on the weight of the vehicle, promoting fairness and transparency.
- Industrial Zones: In industries where large cargo trucks are in constant movement, WIM can ensure productivity without halting operations.
- Law Enforcement: Authorities use WIM systems for enforcing weight limits on roads and preventing overloading, which helps maintain road safety.
- Agriculture & Mining: WIM solutions are ideal for weighing large transport vehicles in industries like agriculture and mining.
Why Choose Weigh-In-Motion Systems?
Enhanced Efficiency:
- WIM systems offer an efficient alternative to conventional weighbridges. There’s no need to halt traffic or vehicles for weighing.
- Reduced Downtime: Since vehicles don’t need to stop, there’s a significant reduction in overall downtime, making operations more fluid.
- Minimized Wear & Tear: The non-stop weighing mechanism ensures that there is less wear and tear on the weighing system, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
