THE CHALLENGE

Why RFID Based Weighbridge Automation Is Essential Today

Manual and semi-automated weighbridge operations lead to significant operational and financial challenges:

  • Data manipulation and weighment fraud
  • Operator dependency and human errors
  • Long vehicle queues and congestion
  • Lack of integration with ERP / MES systems
  • Poor audit trails and compliance risks

Robato's RFID based weighbridge automation removes these challenges by automating vehicle identification, positioning, weighing, and data recording without human involvement.

PROCESS FLOW

End-to-End Process Flow

STEP 01

Vehicle Registration & Master Creation

Each vehicle is registered with vehicle number, transporter details, material type, customer/supplier mapping, and RFID tag ID. This ensures only authorised vehicles are allowed access.

STEP 02

RFID Tag Allocation

A unique RFID tag is assigned to each vehicle and mapped permanently in the system. Supports multiple tag types depending on site conditions. Once allocated, manual identification is completely eliminated.

STEP 03

Vehicle Entry & Automatic Recognition

Vehicle loop sensor detects presence, long-range RFID reader scans the tag, system validates authorization, traffic light turns green, and boom barrier opens automatically. No operator involvement required.

STEP 04

Vehicle Positioning & Safety Checks

Vehicle position sensors ensure correct alignment, prevent partial or incorrect weighing, traffic lights guide driver positioning. System blocks weighing if conditions are unsafe.

STEP 05

Automatic Weight Capture

System captures gross or tare weight automatically when vehicle is stationary, position is correct, and sensors confirm safety. Prevents duplicate or manipulated weighments.

STEP 06

PO Management & Business Rule Validation

Supports Purchase Order based weighing with PO quantity validation, overload/underload checks, material-wise tolerance rules, and automatic blocking if limits are exceeded.

STEP 07

Data Storage & Synchronization

Captured data is stored in local server for offline operation, synced to centralized cloud server when internet is available, and available in real-time dashboards for management.

STEP 08

Vehicle Exit Automation

Traffic light turns green, boom barrier opens automatically, vehicle exits without stopping, and transaction is securely logged.

REPORTING
