Russia’s leading steel pipe maker United Metallurgical Company OMK has automated the process of weighing vehicles at its Vyksa plant in the Nizhny Novgorod Region using a new weighing system. Now all transport weighing operations are carried out automatically, which will optimize the internal logistics of the enterprise. The weight control system is configured on the basis of automobile strain gauges for static weighing with a maximum load of up to 80 tonnes. The capacity of the equipment is 150 vehicles daily. High accuracy of indicators and stability of metrological characteristics are provided by 12 strain gauges built into three weighing platforms.The new weighing complex at OMK's Vyksa plant is equipped with smart modules that independently identify vehicles using RFID tags, control the movement of vehicles using traffic lights, monitor their position on the scales, monitor video from three cameras, and recognize vehicle license plates. The installed terminal immediately issues a receipt with information about the actual weight, vehicle number, date and time of its weighing.Automation of the process will significantly reduce the time for weighing vehicles. The results of measurements of the mass of cars passing through the weighing complex are recorded automatically and stored in the database of our enterprise. Special software protects weight information from unauthorized changes. The automated system affects the intensity of cargo traffic and will improve the internal logistics of the enterprise.
