Loadscan, the innovators behind the load volume scanner (LVS) system, has been challenging the accuracy of weighbridges by using a piece of software to scan bulk materials being hauled in or out of mine sites on a daily basis.Accuracy and efficiency are the most critical factors to consider when weighing heavy vehicles across mine sites. Traditional weighbridge truck scale systems can be inefficient due to their costly price, cumbersome assembly procedures as well as its demands for calibration, maintenance and upkeep.By working from volume rather than weight, a more accurate measure can be obtained with a scanner. The LVS literally sees the load, whereas volume measurement converted from the weight generated from a weighing system is commonly effected by environment factors such as moisture and varying material densities.
