Weighbridge Automation and Mine Traceability

Weighbridge automation records what left the pit and what arrived at the destination. Traceability connects those weights to the trip, so every tonne has a record.

What it is

Weighbridge automation captures tare and gross weight at the scale, links each reading to a vehicle and load, and flags mismatches. Traceability carries that record from pit to dispatch, so material movement can be reconciled against production.

Capabilities iCeipts documents for this workflow

  • Multi-weighbridge integration via RS-232/RS-485 or IP
  • Pilferage prevention via tare-vs-gross weight reconciliation
  • UHF RFID gate automation and boom barrier control
  • Production-to-dispatch material traceability from pit to port

Capabilities reflect iCeipts' published feature set. Confirm specific integrations and reports during a demo.

How the workflow runs

  1. The truck is identified at the gate, including RFID-tagged vehicles.
  2. The weighbridge captures tare weight on entry and gross weight on loading.
  3. Readings from several weighbridges are consolidated through the integration.
  4. Tare-vs-gross reconciliation checks each trip against the expected load.
  5. The reconciled record links the trip to production and dispatch for traceability.

Frequently asked questions

What is weighbridge automation in mining?

Weighbridge automation captures vehicle weights electronically and checks them against expected values, so mismatches can be reviewed per trip.

How does weighbridge data reduce pilferage?

By reconciling tare and gross weights for each trip, a mismatch between the material loaded and the material recorded at dispatch is flagged for review.

Can one system connect several weighbridges?

iCeipts documents multi-weighbridge integration via RS-232/RS-485 or IP. Confirm the scale hardware and protocol at your site during a demo.

What is production-to-dispatch traceability?

It is the record that links what was produced at the pit, through each truck and weighbridge event, to what was dispatched. iCeipts documents this from pit to port.
