WATS™ (Weighbridge Automated Transaction System) is a weighbridge automation system used for unattended or operator-supervised control and recording of weighing information for vehicles and their cargo. The weighing information can be stored in WATS™ own database or it can be configured to write to a third-party database.
WATS™ has the ability to interface to and automate the control of weighbridge indicators (scale instrumentation), traffic lights, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) systems, RFID devices (including contactless smart card, MIFARE, and NFC - Near Field Communication technology), digital imaging cameras, receipt printers, boom barriers and tyre-shredders.
WATS™ stores the weighbridge transaction information to its own or third party SQL database, and comprehensive reports and statements can be generated via our WATS™ web-based reporting system.
With almost 50 weighbridges under its control, WATS™ has proven to be a leading and flexible solution for a variety of weighbridge automation applications requiring fast, reliable and accurate weighing transactions...
