From the moment a truck arrives to the second it leaves — every weight event linked to a vehicle identity, automatically.

Using technologies like License Plate Recognition (LPR), Line Counter, Area Counter, Parking Place Detector and deep neural network (DNN) training in industrial weighing applications offers a highly automated and efficient solution for managing trucks and cars at production sites, deposits, ballast pits or any weighing installation.

The Setup

Four Engines. One Automated Process.

Each detection engine plays a specific role. Together, they build a complete automated weighing workflow — from vehicle approach to exit.

📸
1

LPR Engine

Identifies vehicles at entry and exit points by reading license plates. Links plate data to weight and operational details.

▶️
2

Line & Area Counter

Monitors vehicle movement, counts entries and exits, and triggers actions when zones are full or empty.

🗺️
3

Parking Place Detector

Detects virtual parking spots on the weighbridge. Confirms proper positioning before weighing begins.

🧠
4

DNN Training

AI-powered models enhance recognition accuracy, classify vehicle types and detect cargo elements in challenging conditions.

Detection Engines

The AI Engines Behind Automated Weighing

Each engine handles a specific detection task. Their combined intelligence creates a fully autonomous weighing process.

📸

License Plate Recognition

Vehicle Identity

  • Automatically identifies vehicles entering or leaving the site by reading their license plates
  • Detects vehicles at entry or exit points and logs data, linking it to the vehicle's weight and operational details
  • When a vehicle occupies a virtual parking spot, LPR triggers and associates the plate with the weighing system for accurate data mapping
  • Automates access control by cross-referencing plate numbers with an authorized database
▶️

Line & Area Counter

Count and Track

  • Monitors vehicle movement by counting entries and exits or determining the number of vehicles in a specific area
  • Any engine can trigger other detection engines based on real-time conditions
  • Tracks the flow of vehicles to and from weighbridges or loading/unloading zones, ensuring no bottlenecks occur
  • Counts vehicles in a loading bay or holding area and triggers actions — signaling when a zone is full or giving directions
  • Optimizes resource allocation and planning based on vehicle throughput
🗺️

Parking Place Detector

Occupancy Detection

  • Detects the occupancy status of designated parking spaces — physical or virtual — using cameras
  • Always on alert for cars that occupy parking spots to trigger other events
  • Monitors loading bays to see when they are busy or available
  • Virtual parking spot detection triggers specific actions such as LPR scanning or vehicle weighing
  • Ensures vehicles are correctly positioned before weighing or loading, minimizing errors
🧠

DNN Training

Constant Improvement

  • Enhances the accuracy of LPR, parking detection and vehicle classification through AI-powered models
  • Recognizes specific vehicle types (trucks, cars, loaders) and associates their category with predefined processes
  • Improved recognition in challenging conditions — poor lighting, dirt-covered plates, heavy weather
  • Reduces false positives and negatives in vehicle detection, ensuring reliable automation
  • Can detect different elements in a truck bin: fire extinguishers, tires, gas tanks and more
System Integration

Triggers Between Engines

The power of Metrici comes from how detection engines communicate and trigger each other — creating an intelligent, self-regulating system.

AI Training

How the Triggers Work

A vehicle occupying a virtual spot triggers the LPR system for validation. The Area Counter ensures the vehicle is correctly positioned and stable before activating the weighbridge and reading the weight. Real-time vehicle counts adjust the entry flow dynamically. DNN training continuously enhances detection accuracy for seamless operations in noisy, variable industrial environments.

The Process

Automated Weighing Workflow

From vehicle arrival to complete exit — every step is automated, logged and verified without human intervention.

1

Vehicle Arrival

The vehicle enters the site and is detected by a Metrici LPR system at the gate. The license plate is logged into the system and cross-verified against a database of authorized vehicles. Access is granted or denied automatically.

2

Parking Spot Detection

A Parking Place Detection engine or Area Counter identifies when the vehicle enters a designated virtual parking spot near or on the weighbridge. The system triggers a LPR check and aligns this data with the weighing process.

3

Weighing Process

Once the vehicle is in position on the scale, a controller is activated and Metrici reads the weight data. The license plate, weight value and timestamp are stored together in the database or sent to third-party systems for tracking and billing. The system checks if the vehicle meets safety standards and weight limits before proceeding.

4

Post-Weighing Action

The vehicle proceeds to the loading or unloading zone. LED displays guide the driver to the correct position. After completing its task, it passes through an LPR exit point where the system confirms the vehicle has left the site. The complete event — plate, weight, timestamps and photos — is logged for audit purposes.

Applications

Where Weighing Automation Matters

Every industry that handles vehicles and requires accurate weight tracking can benefit from automated weighing integration.

🏭 · Industrial & Extraction

Quarries & Ballast Pits

Track every extraction load in and out. Flag overloads automatically and compare declared versus actual weights for full compliance.

Industrial Factories

Link outbound shipments to vehicle plates. Detect weight deviations before trucks leave the gate — preventing loss or fraud.

Agricultural Processing

Weigh incoming harvests and outgoing deliveries — fully automated per vehicle per visit. No manual entry required.

Waste Management

Record collection weights per vehicle, route and operator. Export data for regulatory reporting and billing.

🚛 · Logistics & Transport

Ports & Logistics Hubs

Handle high vehicle throughput at container gates with free-flow LPR and scale sync. No stopping, no delays.

Transport & Logistics

Automate weighing at depot entry and exit. Whitelist company fleet vehicles and flag unauthorized trucks instantly.

Storage & Warehousing

Monitor inbound versus outbound loads per registered vehicle. Get deviation alerts for security and inventory control.

Highway Checkpoints

Enforce load limits in free-flow mode without stopping traffic. Maintain a full compliance database per vehicle.

🏛️ · Authority & Compliance

Tax & Customs Authorities

Collect weight-based fees automatically. Maintain a full audit trail per plate, time and weight value.

Regulatory Compliance

Ensure all vehicles comply with weight limits and safety standards. Generate exportable reports for inspections.

Anti-Fraud Detection

Detect weight manipulation, unauthorized vehicle access and suspicious patterns. Alert management in real time.
