Truck Scale Kiosks are a Solution for Social Distancing due to COVID-19.
Advance Scale can help you successfully create social distancing by installing a ticketing kiosk for your truck scale. With this method, you can avoid contact between the weighmaster and driver, as there is no passing of paperwork or social interaction.
All of our kiosks can be integrated into existing truck scales and software and print legal scale tickets that meet government requirements for the Department of Weights and Measures. Advance Scale also provides optional intercom systems for the customer and weighmaster communication.
If you are in need of a scale service or Install, please know that we will require the following:
The modular system is designed to turn a conventional conveyor into an in-motion weighing system, adding functionality without adding additional space.
This industrial scale system is made up of the Weigh Leg frame, which incorporates the weight sensors, a weight indicator, a photo eye kit (necessary for in motion weighing) and conveyor sections.
When installed, the conveyor scale adds accurate and reliable weighing to new or existing production lines.
The conveyor scale is suitable for checkweighing, conventional weighing, and weight accumulation operations.
Each system is custom designed for the specific application and available in either carbon or stainless steel, ensuring the scale fits perfectly into your operation.
These conveyor scales are legal for trade, making them suitable for commercial applications where the product is sold by weight.

There are pros and cons to both renting and buying. It pays to evaluate your company’s current situation and capabilities as well as your future plans. It is important to carefully consider which method of acquiring equipment will be most advantageous to your business.
You might want to consider some of the key instances below.
Buying any type of scale can set you back as a business, but the renting cost can also add up quickly. Over a long period of time, it might be best to buy the equipment over renting. There also might be regulations that force you to rent your equipment. For more information, you can get a free consultation anytime from ADVANCE. ( Click Here )
Ownership comes with maintenance and operating costs, insurance and other fees such as government licensing like ISO 17025. These costs vary from scale to scale.
If you currently have a large project it would be best to determine if you will have similar jobs in the future. Are you going to use the scale for a long period of time or just need it for that particular job? Also, offsite projects would be better suited with a rental because moving costs for a truck scale are cumbersome and expensive.
The big advantage of owning equipment is that you can use it when needed. You can react to unexpected changes in projects or project schedules, take on jobs at a moments notice and complete projects with less downtime.
Management of your scales can be fully supported by ADVANCE regardless of renting or buying. If you are looking for maintenance or calibration on scales you own, Call 855-465-2920 or Click Here for a Quote.

System Description:
Scope of Operations
1. Truck Enters Scale and stops @ Inbound Kiosk
2. Truck Performs Inbound Weigh operation and receives an acknowledgment to drive through Volumetric Scanner.
3. Truck returns to scale loaded and drives through volumetric scanner then stops @ Outbound Kiosk
4. The driver performs outbound Transaction
a. Receives Ticket with signatures and transaction data. Volumetric Data included if applicable.
b. Images are recorded and latched to the transaction in the database
Principle of Operations
The WLS Series operates by comparing the loaded vehicle scan profile with that of its corresponding empty profile. The difference between the two profiles are then used to calculate the actual volumetric load of material carried by the vehicle. The advanced algorithms provide the actual load volume within seconds. The provided sensor hood is mounted above the path of the vehicle on a pole. The vehicles must only drive under the scanner hood at a slow constant speed. Tere is no need to stop as the WLS Series operates dynamically.
