A weight sensor, which is typically placed in trucks for carrying cargo, has several pieces of equipment connected to it to get you accurate weight measurements. These include load cells, a signal processor, and a display module. This is the load cell that hosts the weight sensor. It picks up on the force or pressure being applied by transforming the force or pressure into an electrical current. For the most part, load cells are made from high-density materials such as steel or aluminum that can take massive loads without damage.
The signal processor takes the electrical signal from the load cell and amplifies it. This procedure makes sure the data is real and accessible to the system. The processor may also filter out noise or interference to make the weight readings more precise. Finally, the display unit shows the processed weight data in a readable format. The display can be digital or analog, depending on the system. In advanced setups, the data can also be transmitted wirelessly to fleet management software for remote monitoring.
TruckX offers fleet management solutions that can be connected to weight sensors. Bringing together real-time weight, GPS tracking, and weight compliance capabilities, TruckX enables fleets to prevent overloading, increase safety, and stay compliant with weight restrictions. Using TruckX, carriers can remotely check loads and optimize trucks for more efficiency and uptime.
