Mining Weighbridge Automation System
Rugged, Unmanned & Audit-Ready Weighbridge Operations for Mining Sites
Robato Systems provides a Mining Weighbridge Automation System built specifically for high-load vehicles, harsh site conditions, remote locations, and strict material accountability requirements common in mining operations.
The solution automates vehicle identification, weight capture, material movement tracking, and ERP integration, enabling 24×7 unmanned weighbridge operations across mines, crusher zones, stockyards, and dispatch points.
Robato's system is fully retrofit-friendly and reads weight data directly from the existing weighbridge controller using serial or TCP/IP communication — without replacing load cells or disturbing legal metrology certification.

Why Mining Sites Need Weighbridge Automation
Mining operations typically struggle with:
- High-tonnage truck movements
- Dusty and harsh environments
- Manual weighment disputes
- Material reconciliation gaps
- Remote locations with limited connectivity
- Audit and compliance pressure
Robato's mining weighbridge automation replaces operator-dependent processes with system-controlled, rule-based workflows that improve accuracy, accountability, and operational efficiency.

What Is Mining Weighbridge Automation?
Mining weighbridge automation is a site-ready automation solution that:
Identifies vehicles using RFID, ANPR, or both
Captures gross, tare, and net weights automatically
Reads weight data from existing weighbridge controllers
Enforces material-wise and contract-wise rules
Syncs data with ERP, MES, and mining management systems
Works reliably in dust, vibration, and outdoor conditions

Important Technical Clarification
Robato Systems does not supply load cells. All weight data is securely read from the existing weighbridge controller via RS232 / RS485 / TCP-IP.

Material, Contract & Dispatch Management
Mining operations require tight control over material movement.
Supported Scenarios
- ROM material movement
- Crusher feed tracking
- Overburden handling
- Finished material dispatch
- Customer / contractor-wise contracts
- Multi-trip and multi-shift operations
All validations are enforced automatically by software rules, not operators.
End-to-End Mining Weighbridge Workflow
Vehicle & Contract Registration
Vehicle master creation, contractor/transporter mapping, material assignment, contract/dispatch rule configuration.
Vehicle Entry & Identification
RFID / ANPR based identification, validation against master & contract, traffic light guidance, boom barrier control (if enabled).
Vehicle Position Validation
Sensors confirm correct positioning, weighing blocked if vehicle is misaligned.
Automatic Weight Capture
Weight read from weighbridge controller, stable weight confirmation, gross or tare captured automatically, net weight calculated by software.
Material & Contract Validation
Quantity tracking, contract limit enforcement, overload/underload checks, automatic alerts for violations.
Transaction Lock & Sync
Transaction locked, data stored locally, sync to cloud/ERP when available.
Vehicle Exit
Traffic light turns green, boom barrier opens, vehicle exits without operator intervention.
