3LOG Systems has installed and granted the use of its WeighWiz software package to Athabasca Northern Railway Ltd in Alberta, Canada

Athabasca Northern Railway Ltd in Alberta, Canada has selected 3LOG Systems’ WeighWiz as its weigh scale management system. WeighWiz was installed at two permanent Athabasca Northern scale sites.

The system’s clean user interface, data integrity, and its seamless integration with Alberta Pacific Forest Industries’ systems will improve the company’s productivity. WeighWiz needed some customization to support Athabasca Northern Railway’ business requirements. It was enhanced to process sample loads for Alpac. It was also modified to synchronize remotely over a low bandwidth (cellular) connection.

3LOG Systems Inc. worked with Athabasca Northern consultants to install and test WeighWiz in preparation for integration with Alpac’s new Woodlands Information System. WeighWiz was configured with the scale hardware and Oracle database. Data was synchronized with Alpac and staff was trained in their remote locations to use the new system.
