Modern weighbridges incorporate advanced technology that allows for the collection, organization, and analysis of essential information: gross weight, tare, net weight, product type, customer or supplier, carrier, associated documents, driver, vehicle, supplements, fees, among others.
Suppliers typically provide three levels of management:
Weighing Indicator / Terminal
Displays the weighing value, allows basic operations, memorizes tare values, and can generate simple receipts. More advanced models manage traffic, allow for accumulations, diagnostics, and connection to peripherals.
Weighing Management Software
Controls barriers, traffic lights, and the entire operational flow. Allows for reports by product, period, customer, among others. BARBAL's EXACTUS offers total control and integration with the operation.
Customized Software
Adapted to the company's reality, it allows adding or removing functionalities, fields, and interfaces.
Self-Service
Ideal for 24/7 operation without an operator. It can include a touchscreen, RFID reader, intercom, and Ethernet connectivity.
BARBAL's ability to integrate advanced software and hardware has made it a technology partner in several international markets. The brand has exported complete weighing management systems, adapted to local standards and the logistical needs of global clients, strengthening its position in the sector.
