Logistics & Warehouse Weighbridge Automation System
Fast, Accurate & Unmanned Weighbridge Operations for High-Volume Logistics
Robato Systems offers a Logistics & Warehouse Weighbridge Automation System designed for high-throughput environments such as logistics parks, distribution centers, warehouses, freight terminals, and 3PL hubs.
The solution automates vehicle identification, weight capture, order validation, and system integration, enabling 24×7 unmanned weighbridge operations while reducing truck turnaround time and eliminating manual errors.
Robato's solution is retrofit-friendly and reads weight data directly from the existing weighbridge controller via serial or TCP/IP interface—without replacing load cells or disturbing legal metrology certification.

Why Logistics & Warehouses Need Weighbridge Automation
Logistics and warehouse operations face unique challenges:
- Very high truck frequency
- Tight delivery and dispatch SLAs
- Manual data entry delays
- Mismatch between shipment weight and billing
- Dependency on operators across shifts
- Poor visibility across multiple warehouses
Robato's logistics weighbridge automation replaces manual processes with system-controlled, rule-based workflows, ensuring speed, accuracy, and accountability.
High-Volume Ready
What Is Logistics & Warehouse Weighbridge Automation?
It is a digital weighbridge solution that:
Identifies vehicles using RFID, ANPR, or both
Automatically captures gross, tare, and net weights
Reads real-time weight data from existing weighbridge controllers
Validates transactions against orders, shipments, or delivery references
Syncs data with WMS, ERP, TMS, and billing systems
Provides centralised dashboards and audit-ready reports

SOFTWARE PLATFORM
Core Weighbridge Automation Software
Robato's Weighbridge Automation Software acts as the central command platform for logistics and warehouse operations (Logistics-Ready)
Local On-Premise Server
Single warehouse
Centralised Cloud Server
Multi-location visibility
Hybrid Model
Local execution + cloud analytics
Order, Shipment & Dispatch Management
Unlike manufacturing plants, logistics operations depend heavily on order and shipment accuracy.
Supported Scenarios
- Inbound supplier deliveries
- Outbound customer shipments
- Cross-dock operations
- Inter-warehouse transfers
- Order / shipment reference validation
- Weight vs invoice reconciliation
All validations are enforced automatically by software rules, not operators.
End-to-End Logistics Weighbridge Workflow
Vehicle & Order Registration
Vehicle master creation, transporter/fleet mapping, order/shipment reference creation or ERP sync, customer/warehouse mapping.
Vehicle Entry & Identification
RFID / ANPR based identification, validation against order or shipment, traffic light guidance, boom barrier control (if enabled).
Vehicle Position Validation
Sensors confirm correct vehicle placement, weighing blocked if misaligned.
Automatic Weight Capture
Weight read from weighbridge controller, stable weight confirmation, gross or tare captured automatically, net weight calculated by software.
Order & Shipment Validation
Order weight checks, tolerance enforcement, mismatch alerts, automatic blocking for violations.
Transaction Lock & Sync
Transaction locked in system, data stored locally, sync to cloud/ERP/WMS/TMS.
Vehicle Exit
Traffic light turns green, boom barrier opens, vehicle exits without operator intervention.
REPORTING
Reports & Dashboards for Logistics & Warehouses
Operational Reports
