Long-Range Radio Keeps Truck Scale Data Moving
Delivering Reliable Truck Scale Communication Across a Long-Distance Site
One of our partners in the aggregate business needed a way to send truck scale data nearly 600 yards across a dam to a remote display. The environment made traditional cabling difficult, and the distance created signal and visibility challenges. They needed a reliable way for operators at both locations to see scale information in real time.
To support the site layout and ensure dependable communication, the employee-owners at System Scale designed a custom long-range radio solution paired with a local display inside the equipment enclosure. This setup provided a stable, long-distance communication path without trenching, cabling, or structural modification to the dam. The remote display now receives weight data instantly, giving our partner full visibility at both ends of the operation.
The result is a dependable, low-maintenance system that keeps the operation running smoothly. By approaching the project with an Owner’s Perspective, our team treated the partner’s challenge like our own and delivered a solution built for the environment, the distance, and the demands of everyday use.
