RFID + ANPR Integrated Weighbridge Automation
Dual-Layer Vehicle Identification for Secure, Unmanned Weighbridge Operations
Robato Systems offers a RFID + ANPR Integrated Weighbridge Automation System that combines long-range RFID identification with AI-based number plate recognition to deliver the highest level of accuracy, security, and automation in weighbridge operations.
This dual-technology solution is designed for high-value materials, regulated industries, and high-traffic weighbridges where single-mode identification is not sufficient.
Robato's system works seamlessly with existing weighbridges by reading weight data directly from the weighbridge controller via serial or TCP/IP interface, without replacing load cells or disturbing certification.

Why RFID + ANPR Integrated Weighbridge Automation?
Many facilities using only RFID or only ANPR face challenges such as:
- RFID tag misuse or tag swapping
- Number plate cloning or camera blind spots
- Disputes in high-value material movement
- Audit and compliance gaps
By combining RFID + ANPR, Robato Systems delivers dual authentication, ensuring:
- Vehicle identity is verified twice
- Transactions are tamper-proof
- Complete audit trails are maintained
Dual-Layer Security
What Is RFID + ANPR Integrated Weighbridge Automation?
It is a multi-layer weighbridge automation system where:
RFID identifies the vehicle electronically
ANPR visually validates the number plate
Both identities must match for weighing to proceed
Weight data is fetched from the existing weighbridge controller
All operations run unmanned
This approach is widely used in cement plants, mining, ports, steel plants, logistics hubs, and power plants.

Important Technical Note
Robato Systems does NOT provide load cells. Weight data is securely read from the existing weighbridge controller using RS232 / RS485 / TCP-IP communication.
All hardware is IP-rated, rugged, and suitable for dusty, outdoor, and high-traffic industrial sites.

Vehicle Registration & Master Setup
Each vehicle is registered with vehicle number, RFID tag ID, transporter details, material type, customer/supplier, and optional PO/DO mapping.
RFID Tag Allocation
Unique RFID tag assigned per vehicle, tag mapped permanently in software, prevents unauthorised vehicle access.
Vehicle Entry & Dual Identification
Loop sensor detects vehicle, RFID reader scans tag, ANPR camera captures number plate, system cross-verifies RFID + ANPR, traffic light turns green, boom barrier opens (if installed).
Vehicle Position Validation
Position sensors ensure correct placement, weighing blocked if misaligned, traffic lights guide driver positioning.
Automatic Weight Capture
Weight read from weighbridge controller, stable weight validated, gross or tare captured automatically, net weight calculated by system logic.
PO / Material Validation
PO quantity checks, overload/underload tolerance, material-wise rule enforcement, automatic alerts & blocking.
Data Storage & Synchronisation
Stored locally for offline continuity, synced to central cloud server, real-time dashboards for management.
Vehicle Exit Automation
Traffic light turns green, boom barrier opens, transaction locked & archived.
Admin Reports & Dashboards
