Why Automate

Why Waste Facilities Automate

 

Waste facilities handle large numbers of repeat transactions where manual processes can slow vehicle movement and introduce unnecessary opportunities for data-entry errors. WasteLane 360 automates common steps in the weighing process to help:

  • Reduce manual transaction entry
  • Reduce physical ticket handling
  • Minimize routine scale house interaction
  • Create more consistent transaction workflows
  • Move vehicles through the weighing process more quickly
  • Reduce dependence on dedicated scale house staffing

How It Works

How WasteLane 360 Works

 
1

Identify The Vehicle

The driver is identified at the scale through the SKYNET 2050 kiosk, with optional RFID vehicle identification available for repeat haulers and fleet vehicles.

2

Capture The Weight

The Patriot Digital Truck Scale records the vehicle weight and communicates the weighing data to the transaction system.

3

Process The Transaction

ScaleSoft processes the configured waste transaction using predefined workflows without requiring routine interaction with a scale house operator.

4

Direct The Driver

The SUPERBRIGHT 2 remote display and integrated red and green traffic controls provide information and indicate when the vehicle can proceed.

5

Complete The Transaction

The SKYNET 2050 can provide a printed ticket while ScaleSoft records the completed transaction for reporting or integration with other business systems.
