What is Unattended Vehicle Weighing?

A vehicle weighing application where the customer wants the driver to independently operate the scale and complete the transaction

4

What is Unattended Vehicle Weighing?

An unattended installation consists

of: - Software (PC based or embedded)

- Weighing indicator

- Operator display

- Data input devices Keyboard ID reader (RF, etc.) Intercom and Speaker

- Printer for receipts

- Traffic Control Lights, Gates, Loops

- Weatherproof enclosure mounted next to the scale

Climate control

5

Customer Objectives for Vehicle Weighing- Reduce cost of weighing vehicle

loads

- More efficient use of existing operational personnel

- Immediate access to weighing data for operational analysis, billing, and inventory control

Why Unattended Vehicle Weighing?

6

Benefits of an Unattended Weighing System- Avoid need for weighing attendant – personnel cost reduction

- Avoid need for building near the scale – reduce construction and operating costs

- Improve data accuracy – use preprogrammed information on proximity cards

- Faster weighing throughput – transaction is completed without driver leaving the cab

- 24 hour per day operation – greater facility operational flexibility

Trend towards more unattended

Labor costs rising everywhere

Many companies want to standardize around solutions that save money

50% of all vehicle weighing applications in many European countries.

Agriculture

Forest Products

Mining and Aggregates

Ports

Recycling

Solid Waste

Trucking terminals

Utilities

Typical Applications

10

Frequently at plant entrances or gates

11

Higher labor costs have driven growth of unattended terminals in Western Europe – more mature market than in U.S.

Interest in unattended terminals in U.S. is growing – both new and retrofit opportunities

Suppliers of unattended terminals tend to be “higher tech” distributors and systems integrators, specializing in custom solutions, plus traditional vehicle scale manufacturers

Most suppliers offer basic transaction software with their systems

Requirements and product offering becoming more advanced to include video, credit card processing, multiple scales

Unattended Vehicle Weighing Market Overview

12

Competitors have evolved from three different orientations- Software vendors adding unattended terminals
