World Trade Center Enhanced Security with AX900TM Axle Scales 

The World Trade Center (WTC) campus in New York City has a comprehensive vehicle security perimeter for vehicle screening. To protect the infrastructure and buildings onsite and in the surrounding areas, vehicle weighing capabilities at entry points are necessary to screen vehicles for overweight irregularities that could indicate the presence of dangerous material on board. 

Having vehicle weight data is an important part of the enhanced security systems in operation for One WTC and the entire WTC campus. -PANYNJ 

Infrastructure firm AECOM selected Intercomp to supply vehicle scales due to their experience manufacturing scales for transportation, security, and enforcement purposes. Partnered with Advance Scale of NJ for installation and calibration, the installations took under two weeks, satisfying demanding WTC work restrictions. The in-ground AX900TM scales can stand up to harsh year-round environments experienced in New York City. 

To detect and monitor weights for security purposes, three separate entry points incorporate four Intercomp platform scales per lane in areas between the safety barriers. Six lanes from Washington Street, West Broadway, and Trinity Place secure access to the WTC campus, screening passenger vehicles, tourist buses, and delivery trucks. Monitoring software displays the weights of axles, axle groups, and Gross Vehicle Weights (GVW) for security operators to view inside an adjacent control room. 

NTEP certified with an accuracy of ±0.1%, the AX900TM Axle Scales utilize hermetically-sealed, shear beam load cells to precisely weigh vehicles for axle and GVW. The scales are used by some states for legal commercial vehicle weight enforcement efforts, border security, and by commercial organizations weighing inbound and outbound vehicles for inventory control and facility security at fixed sites. Capable of being transported and deployed to different locations, or mounted in frames installed in the pavement (as done at the WTC), the AX900TM scales provide proven accuracy for a variety of applications. 

Intercomp is proud to have its scales as part of the security systems in place for protecting the World Trade Center campus in New York City.

The entrances to the WTC complex incorporate AX900TM scales for determining vehicle weights. 

The AX900TM Axle Scales are installed in frames and available for 24/7 weight monitoring at multiple sites. 

Each lane reports vehicle weights for security personnel to monitor for dangerous goods. 

Description:
The customer would like wireless Check Weigh Scales paired with wireless label printers to be used
in his repackaging area. The customer would like central software for editing his labeling PLU’s
and track his production. Currently, the customer is using Deli scales with their built-in printer, but
this is not designed for the volume of production.

Software Scope:
1. The software will have a database that will support an infinite amount of products (limited only by
HDD space)
2. Each product (PLU) will have the following stored settings.
a. ‘USE BY’ – Fixed date or dynamic date generated from “DAYS TILL EXPIRE’ value.
b. ‘UNIT PRICE’ – price per units of measure.
c. ‘PLU—NAME’ – Name of the product.
d. ‘PLU COUNT’ – PLU accumulation counter
e. ‘FORMAT FILE’ – print format file selected for printing.
3. The software will have a Scale database for up to 10 scale connections that can be used with
existing license. These scale connections will listen for the scale on the network and
reestablish connection when scale is powered-up and reconnecting to the network.

The scope of Operations:
Each Weighing Station will be placed on mobile Cart (Stainless Steel). Weighing Station
components listed below.
1 x CW90 Check Weigher w/wireless option
1 x Zebra GX420 w/ wireless option
1 x 6 plug surge suppressor.
Each indicator and printer unit must be allowed 15 seconds to initialize on the wireless
network.

1. Manager ensures all PLU’S in labeling software for that day.
2. The operator at any time can press the ‘ID’ key on the CW90 Scale and enter the PLU # that
matches in the labeling software, then press the ‘ENTER’ key to confirm.
3. If PLU was found on the Labeling System database, the Scale indicator display will scroll the
‘PLU’ # and ‘Loaded’ at the end.
4. If PLU was NOT Found then the CW90 indicator display will read “NO PLU Found”
5. Once PLU has been selected the operator can press the print key on the indicator at any time
to produce a ticket.
6. The Ticket price produced will be based on the ‘NET’ weight of the scale.

Sequence of Operation:
1. Truck will pull on the scale
2. Truck Driver will hit the “call” button on the intercom station
3. All 3 Video Master Station Phones will ring and display a view of the driver from Video Intercom at Truck.
4. Truck driver will talk hands free.
5. Call is ended by the Video Master Station at the desk
