Solve your weight scaling puzzle with 3LOG’s
WeighWiz
Our Solution
WeighWiz, is a “real-time” data
collection and management software system designed to be operated by weigh
masters or truck drivers. It is especially useful in remote areas or during
off-peak times when there is no weigh master available. It records
information entered by the truck driver or your company weigh master and
captures readings from the weigh scale equipment. WeighWiz can on a single scale
platform functioning as both the weigh-in and weigh-out scale. It can also control
dedicated weigh-in and weigh-out scales. The software creates a completed TM9 ticket,
which is used by the Log Inventory & Management System
(LIMS), to pay the respective contractors, record inventory, report
stumpage due, and manage resources. As the system captures data, it
translates it into an easy-to-understand formatted display in a
user-friendly graphical interface.
WeighWiz monitors each load for overweight by comparing it to the legal
weight for the given truck configuration, season, and route. It can grant
exceptions such as additional permitted weight due to inter-axle
configuration. The Truck Weigh Analyzer, a component of WeighWiz, captures
real-time readings from the weigh scale. These readings are recorded
accurately no matter how fast a truck drives on or off the scale. It is able
to detect when the truck's full weight is on the scale and ignore errors
caused by the driver "rocking" or "holding back".
If WeighWiz is linked to LIMS, the data can be synchronized back to the
central LIMS database from each WeighWiz module via modem, diskette, or
network connection. The vivid user interface of WeighWiz clearly displays
the weight-on-scale, load source identification, and the yard location at
which the load was dropped. With the on-screen display of approval area,
block, setup number and product type, the weigh master or truck driver can
ensure all load information is correct before the truck exits the yard.

Why Choose WeighWiz?
WeighWiz is flexible, user-friendly and fully customizable
The system has a Windows®-based environment and is
completely compatible with most host systems. 3LOG Systems is able to
customize and configure its software to meet the client’s individual needs.
The user interface is designed for quick access and display of important
information. The big buttons and labels perform the best when used with a
touch screen system.
WeighWiz will reduce your operating costs by improving
productivity
WeighWiz accommodates multiple data collection sites.
The data collection system is configurable at each site. Users can
transmit data from multiple sites to a central database automatically or
on demand. WeighWiz can operate as a stand-alone system in conjunction
with existing infrastructure or hand-in-hand with 3LOG’s LIMS software.
Captures the true weight of the load
As an important part of any self-managed overweight
detection program, the Truck Weigh Analyzer component of WeighWiz helps you
to ensure that trucks cannot bypass the legal fines, penalties, suspensions
or reporting required for an overweight load.
Helps with efficient inventory tracking
Manned, Attendant or Un-Manned modes provide the choices
to best balance the control of automation when synchronizing data to and
from LIMS, even at a remote site. The system’s user interface clearly
displays the weight-on-scale, load source identification, and the yard
location at which the load was dropped.
Improves processing speed through scales
The system operates either with or without a weigh master
as set by the weigh station administrator.
Improves security
WeighWiz meets the expectations of proper auditing
procedures and reporting. Multi-level password security ensures that only
authorized users have access to central weigh station data. WeighWiz closely
controls, validates and monitors driver input while the truck is on the
scale.

with prompt, reliable and friendly support. You can be rest assured that you
will receive exceptional technical support from 3LOG Systems whenever you
