Weigh-In-Motion at the Gate
“It is essential that the verified gross mass is obtained before the container is physically loaded on to a ship.”– SOLAS Chapter VI, 7.2
Intercomp’s Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems have been employed to gather vehicle and cargo gross weights and to help remedy delays at the gate caused by truck queuing for static weighbridges. Keeping traffic moving through terminals while collecting accurate weights enables vehicle and port operators to avoid costly delays.
Benefits to the Operators Include:
• Improved Productivity – Automate transactions, decrease data errors, and increase traffic flow
• Environmental – Advance green initiatives by minimizing truck idling time
Two different Intercomp systems may be used, with either precision platform scales or WIM strip sensors installed in traffic lanes. Incorporated with technology such as cameras for license plate recognition and other sensors, including RFID and lasers, these systems can be integrated with gate software for rapid vehicle processing.
