One Truck. Multiple Compartments. One Transaction.
One Truck, Five Compartments, Zero Headaches: Custom Split Weighing with the SKYNET DD1010
Most trucks keep things simple. They roll onto the scale, weigh in, load up, weigh out and head on their way. Multi-compartment tankers at a bulk transfer station like to make life a little more interesting. When every compartment needs its own net weight, a standard weigh-in and weigh-out just doesn’t cut it, and keeping it all tidy under one transaction can turn into a juggling act.
So our B-TEK Systems team rolled up their sleeves and built a custom split-weighing program for the SKYNET DD1010.
How It Works
The tanker weighs in to open the transaction. After each compartment is filled, it pulls back onto the scale for another weight. The DD1010 calculates the net weight for that stage and keeps the transaction open, ready and waiting for the next compartment. And this setup isn’t shy about volume either. It handles up to five different weights per truck!
Two Scales, One Brain
The site runs two truck scales that share the same database. That means operators can pull up an open transaction from either scale, so trucks don’t have to wait in line for “their” scale. More flexibility, less idling and a lot fewer frustrated drivers.
The Payoff
The end result is a straightforward way to capture multiple net weights while keeping the truck, the load and the ticket tied together from the first weigh-in to the last.
