Fast & efficient weigh: Weighbridge control system makes turnaround time eights times faster for Ennstone Johnstone

摘要

Trucks are now processed eight times faster at Ennstone Johnstone's Cloud Hill site following the installation of a new weighbridge control system from Avery Weigh-Tronix. The company needed to increase the throughput of trucks in and out of the site after they opened a new asphalt plant. Previously, wagons checked in and out at the same weighbridge station, which meant long lines at busy times. In fact, while the actual filling time only took five minutes, it would take nearly an hour to get a truck in and out of the site due to the bottleneck. Critically, asphalt would reduce in temperature by up to fifty percent while waiting to leave the site.
