British Columbia Ministry of Forests granted approval to WeighWizBC (Version 1.0)

3LOG Systems Inc. is pleased to announce that the British Columbia Ministry of Forests (MOF) has approved 3LOG’s WeighWizBC (Version 1.0) software solution for use at BC weigh scales. WeighWizBC is a customized version of 3LOG's WeighWiz software program. It utilizes functional features suitable to meet weigh scale software needs for the Harvest Billing System (HBS).

The British Columbia Ministry of Forests is updating the way they collect information and calculate billing for timber harvested in BC. They are replacing their existing process with a new system known as the Harvest Billing System (HBS). This new system uses Internet technology to collect information about harvested timber from the companies responsible for scaling the timber.

The approval for HBS use confirms that WeighWizBC (Version 1.0) software:

Randomly selects loads for stratum sampling.
Complies with the requirements set out in the HBS Technical Specifications for industry.
Successfully produces back-up and scale site audit reports.
Successfully transfers electronic scale information to HBS.
Successfully passes HBS format edits.

WeighWizBC captures information about all loads entering or leaving the scale site. Because different types of loads require different information, loads are categorized as follows:

Timber arriving at a scale site
Timber departing a scale site
Non-timber loads arriving at a scale site
Non-timber loads departing a scale site

Each of these categories has its own process for capturing load information in WeighWizBC.
