AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT
SMART INDICATOR FOR TRUCK SCALES
The Smart Indicator integrates truck scales and the Spirit software suite into a unified Smart monitoring and accounting system. All weighing data is saved directly on the indicator and synchronized with Spirit Cloud, ensuring secure storage and convenient access from any device.
In addition to recording the total weight of the vehicle, the Smart Indicator determines the load on each individual axle. This allows you to monitor weight distribution, prevent overloading, and completely avoid fines during road inspections.
The indicator can be installed on virtually any truck scale—regardless of the manufacturer or the original installation year. This allows you to upgrade your existing weighing complex without a full equipment replacement, delivering a modern system for accounting, analytics, and control within your already established platform.
ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL LOAD CELLS
✔ Higher Accuracy — Signal digitization occurs right inside the sensor, minimizing data loss and the impact of electromagnetic interference.✔ Stable Readings — Digital data transmission is completely unaffected by cable length or voltage fluctuations.✔ Individual Sensor Monitoring — Each load cell has its own distinct address, allowing you to view the load on each support point and quickly pinpoint malfunctions.✔ Anti-Tampering Protection — The digital protocol rules out signal manipulation and automatically logs any data transmission errors.✔ Precise Diagnostics — The system immediately identifies the exact problematic element, eliminating the need for step-by-step sensor disconnection.✔ Reduced Downtime — Rapid troubleshooting and fault isolation significantly cut down scale stoppage time.✔ Temperature Resilience — Built-in digital compensation minimizes errors during sudden, sharp climate changes.
We went beyond standard solutions!
By taking the market's most popular and reliable load cell models as a foundation, we developed our own proprietary model featuring engineered technical enhancements:✔ Optimized Communication Protocols — Streamlined data transmission enhances weighing accuracy, processing speed, and interference resistance.✔ Enhanced Signal Quality Control — Supplementary verification algorithms guarantee exceptional stability and the absolute credibility of your weighing data.
REMOTE REPEATER DISPLAY
The remote repeater display is designed to mirror the vehicle weight readings transmitted directly from the scale indicator. It provides a clear, convenient view of the weighing results for both drivers and operators right on the site.
Installed at an optimal height and distance from the platform, it allows drivers to easily monitor the process straight from the vehicle cabin without needing to step outside. High-brightness LED characters guarantee excellent visibility at any time of day and in all weather conditions.
Utilizing a remote display increases vehicle processing speeds, reduces queues at the weighing station, and minimizes the risk of human error during operations. It serves as a vital element in any modern monitoring and data-tracking system.
DUSTPROOF BOOT (DUST SHIELD)
This component is designed to protect the steel load-bearing ball of the load cell from dust, dirt, and fine particles. It prevents the support assembly from clogging, directly helping to maintain consistent weighing accuracy.
Constructed as a corrugated rubber cylinder, it does not restrict the operational movement of the load cell while significantly extending its overall service life.
The use of a dustproof boot is highly critical for truck scales operated in open-air environments, agricultural and grain facilities, quarries, and industrial sites with high levels of dust and airborne debris.
RUBBER T-PROFILE (MOLDING STRIP)
The T-profile is designed to tightly seal the gap between the weighbridge platform and the foundation of truck scales. It effectively prevents debris, stones, soil, and other foreign objects from falling into the under-scale pit.
During the winter period, the molding strip stops snow accumulation and ice build-up in the clearance zone, which could otherwise create structural resistance and negatively impact weighing accuracy.
Manufactured from wear-resistant, high-elasticity rubber, the T-profile easily accommodates the structural thermal expansion of the metal components without restricting the natural movement of the platform during weighing operations.
Utilizing a rubber T-profile is a simple yet highly effective solution to preserve measurement accuracy, reduce the need for manual cleaning, and extend the overall lifespan of your weighing equipment.
ACCURACY WITHOUT COMPROMISE
THE BOTTOM LINE
When choosing truck scales, what should you look for?
Choose scales based on the real needs of your business: your field of activity, the harshness of the environment, traffic volume, required weighing accuracy, and the need for analytics and additional data monitoring. UIC will help you select a system that optimally addresses all these tasks and ensures reliable daily operations.
Is it necessary to calibrate scales on-site with reference weights after installation?
If a manufacturer claims that the scales were calibrated at the factory and that this is sufficient — that is not entirely true. After the scales are installed, calibration with reference weights must be performed directly at the installation site.
This is because accuracy is directly affected by the foundation, the geometry of the installation, the condition of the base, temperature conditions, and the actual load distribution on the platform.
Only on-site calibration guarantees correct readings, compliance with metrological requirements, and accurate cargo accounting.How often should scale technical maintenance be performed?
Everything depends on the intensity of operation.
Daily or weekly — you can perform an independent inspection: checking the external condition, platform cleanliness, and cable integrity. This takes little time but helps prevent problems.
Every six months — with high work intensity, it is advisable to involve specialists for a technical inspection. This ensures stable accuracy, extends the lifespan of the scales, and minimizes the risk of costly breakdowns.Why is it necessary to perform annual periodic scale verification?
Annual verification confirms that the scales maintain the required accuracy and comply with legal requirements.
For commercial operations, this is a mandatory procedure in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Metrology and Metrological Activity" and established verification intervals. After the verification is performed, the enterprise receives official confirmation — a certificate or a stamp in the equipment logbook verifying the suitability of the measuring instrument. This guarantees the legality of settlements, helps avoid fines, and ensures accurate cargo accounting.How long does technical maintenance and scale verification take?
Typically, we budget approximately three hours for technical maintenance and the annual periodic verification, during which the scales are temporarily taken out of service. The exact duration depends on the condition of the equipment: whether components need to be replaced, platform edges realigned, or calibration and additional adjustments performed. If the scales are in good condition and require no additional work, the procedures can be completed faster.
Please account for this service window to prevent operational downtime at your enterprise.Is there a warranty on the service work performed?
Yes, we provide a warranty on all work performed. Upon completion of diagnostics and the full scope of services, the engineer issues an Act listing the completed work and installed components, which establishes the warranty period. Typically, the warranty for labor is 3 months, while the warranty for components ranges from 1 to 5 years, depending on the manufacturer and specifications. The warranty covers the resolution of any defects at no additional cost and guarantees the stable and reliable operation of your scales.
What factors determine the duration of the work?
The duration depends on the type of work and the season. Mandatory annual procedures, including periodic verification, should be booked well in advance—during peak periods, high demand leads to booking queues. Timely planning ensures you can be confident in your equipment's performance, avoid operational downtime, and save yourself the time and stress of resolving issues urgently.
Regarding unscheduled repairs or unexpected scale failures, an individual emergency service call-out can be arranged by prior agreement between the parties.
