Overview
The AMCS Driver Assisted Terminal (DAT) supports reliable, 24/7 weighbridge operation, delivering an efficient, self-serve experience that supports secure, unmanned scale house operation. Designed to automate inbound and outbound scale house transactions at landfills, transfer stations, MRFs, and material handling operations, the AMCS driver-operated weighbridge terminal helps you introduce a more profitable, ‘always-open’ model. To support your business, and enable an always-open business model, we have developed the AMCS Driver Assisted Terminal (DAT). The AMCS DAT automates inbound and outbound scale house transactions at landfills, transfer stations, MRFs, and other material-handling operations. The system authenticates each driver through an RFID card, which grants access to and from the facility. The system automatically identifies the job the driver is assigned to and captures weight against the job. A ticket is provided at the time of weighing in and out as proof of service. The centralized ERP system is then updated in real-time where the information is available for billing. Ensuring waste and recycling operators are equipped to:
- Provide an ‘always open’ weighbridge operation
- Reduce costs and simplify resourcing
- Mitigate risk and reduce revenue leakage
- Increase efficiency with faster processing By digitizing and automating scale house operation, the AMCS driver-operated weighbridge terminal provides rapid processing in as little as 7 seconds. Driver access is authenticated via an RFID card with assigned jobs identified automatically. Weight data is then captured easily against each job, with a printed ticket as proof of service. A real-time connection to your ERP also ensures faster, more accurate billing. With seamless solutions for your unmanned scale house, the AMCS driver-assisted terminal increases productivity, simplifying 24/7 weighbridge operation to accelerate your top-line growth. DAT Highlights:
- Self-serve inbound & outbound transactions for schedule-type operations, route commercial and domestic collections
- Integrates to centralized ERP system for real-time data exchange with the driver
- Integrates with multiple systems including RFID and scale indicators
- Color touch screen, large text and simple-to-understand prompts and screens facilitate and drive efficiency in operations
Features
- Self-Service Transactions: The DAT facilitates both inbound and outbound transactions, allowing drivers to manage their weighbridge activities independently. This self-service model ensures continuous operation without the need for on-site staff.
- RFID Authentication: Drivers are authenticated using RFID cards, which grant access to the facility and automatically identify the assigned job. This ensures secure and accurate tracking of each transaction.
- Real-Time Data Integration: The system integrates seamlessly with a centralized ERP system, enabling real-time data exchange. This ensures that all weighbridge transactions are recorded accurately and promptly, facilitating efficient billing and reporting.
- User-Friendly Interface: The DAT features a color touch screen with large fonts and simple prompts, making it easy for drivers to navigate the system and complete transactions quickly.
- Automated Job Identification: The system automatically identifies the job assigned to each driver and captures the weight data against the job. This automation reduces the risk of errors and ensures accurate record-keeping.
- Printed Tickets: At the time of weighing in and out, the system provides a printed ticket as proof of service. This ticket includes all relevant details of the transaction, ensuring transparency and accountability.
- Compatibility with Multiple Systems: The DAT is compatible with various systems, including RFID and scale indicators, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
Benefits
- Increased Efficiency: By automating weighbridge operations, the DAT significantly reduces the time required for each transaction. This leads to faster processing and increased throughput, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
- Cost Reduction: The self-service model eliminates the need for on-site staff, reducing labor costs and enabling a more cost-effective operation. Additionally, the system's accuracy and automation minimize the risk of revenue leakage.
- Enhanced Security: RFID authentication ensures that only authorized drivers can access the facility, enhancing security and preventing unauthorized use. The system's real-time data integration also provides a secure and reliable record of all transactions.
- Improved Customer Service: The DAT's user-friendly interface and efficient processing enhance the driver experience, leading to improved customer satisfaction. The system's ability to operate 24/7 ensures that drivers can complete transactions at their convenience.
- Scalability: The DAT is designed to support a wide range of operations, from small-scale facilities to large, complex sites. Its compatibility with multiple systems and real-time data integration make it a scalable solution that can grow with your business.
- Environmental Benefits: By optimizing weighbridge operations and reducing the need for manual intervention, the DAT contributes to a more sustainable operation. The system's efficiency helps minimize fuel consumption and reduce the environmental impact of weighbridge activities.
