Software Compatibility (Complementary Modules)
Although IntercompWeigh™ is the basis for wheel and axle weighing, there are other software solutions in the Intercomp portfolio based on similar technological foundations, with which data interoperability can be ensured:
- ACWeigh™ / iACWeigh™: Software specialized for aircraft center of gravity calculation.
- On-Board Weighing Systems: Integration with on-board weighing systems for agricultural machinery (e.g.: seed trailers, TMR mixers).
Application Areas Details
Due to the flexibility of the IntercompWeigh™ software, it can be applied in several critical areas:
Road Transport and Logistics
The software is essential for regulating road traffic and increasing transport efficiency:
- Overload Prevention: Accurate axle load measurement helps avoid fines and prevents road damage.
- Commercial Fleets: Fleet operators can use it to optimize load distribution and increase vehicle lifespan.
- Temporary Sites: With portable systems (e.g.: AX900™ weighbridges), it ensures fast and reliable measurement even at temporary construction sites or warehouses.
Aerospace and Defense Industry
In aerospace applications, accuracy is not only an economic but also a safety issue:
- Center of Gravity (CG) Accuracy: The software ensures that the aircraft's center of gravity remains within safe limits, which is critical for takeoff and maneuverability.
- Military Sector: Systems compliant with military specifications (e.g.: PT300™ MIL, LP600™ MIL), ensuring compliance with the loading requirements of military vehicles and aircraft.
ITS and Legal Admissibility
For official applications, fast, documentable, and indisputable measurement results are required:
- Data logging: The software can record the context of the measurement (time, location, operator), which is essential for legal proceedings.
- Ports and Gates: At high-traffic checkpoints (e.g.: ports, border crossings), it automates weight enforcement by cooperating with WIM systems.
The IntercompWeigh™ software is therefore not just an accessory for a measuring device, but a complete data management and analysis platform that guarantees the exploitation of Intercomp measuring system performance even in the strictest industrial environments.
