Cement
Every tonne of limestone in and every bag of cement out, on the ticket and in the ERP.
A cement plant weighs more trucks a day than almost any other site: limestone, gypsum, pozzolana and coal in, clinker between plants, bulk tankers and bagged trucks out against delivery orders. KiloSahihi runs the bridges manned or unmanned, matches every load to its order and posts each weighing to the ERP as it happens.
Dispatch
A bagged truck through the gate.
- 1
Delivery order
The order comes from the ERP with the customer, the product, the quantity and the transporter. The truck is expected before it arrives.
- 2
Tare in
The empty truck is weighed in. With ANPR the plate is read, matched to the order and the barrier opens; without it the operator picks the order from the pending list.
- 3
Loading
Bags are loaded from the packer; bulk is loaded at the silo. The pending ticket stays open on the dashboard for the loading bay.
- 4
Gross out and check
The loaded truck is weighed out. The net is checked against the order quantity and the bag count, and an over- or under-load is flagged before the truck leaves.
- 5
Axle and overload
Axle weights are captured on axle bridges and gross vehicle mass is checked against the load limit, so the truck is not turned back at the road weighbridge.
- 6
Ticket and posting
The ticket prints with the order, the bag count, the weights and a photo. The delivery posts to SAP or Dynamics and the order is closed.
Plant and depots
Built for the volume and the audit.
Raw material intake
Limestone, gypsum, pozzolana, coal and additives weighed in against supplier contracts, with moisture and quality deductions where you apply them.
Clinker and inter-plant transfers
Clinker out of the kiln plant and into the grinding plant, weighed at both ends and reconciled.
SAP and Dynamics 365
Delivery orders in, goods receipts and deliveries out, per ticket, with the ERP as the source of customers, products and transporters.
Unmanned lanes
ANPR, barriers, traffic lights and driver kiosks run dispatch without an operator per lane, with the operator supervising from the office.
Bulk tankers
Tanker weighings by compartment where needed, with the bulk order matched to the silo loading point.
Audit trail
Every manual entry, edit and void recorded with who, when and why, and every weighing photographed.
Depots and multi-site
Plant and depot bridges in one dashboard, with stock in transit visible between them.
Reports
Dispatch by product, customer, transporter and shift, intake by supplier, and reconciliation against production.
Never stops
Each bridge runs on its own database and keeps weighing when the network or the ERP is down, then catches up.
Losses
Where cement plants lose tonnes.
Overloaded bagged trucks that leave with more bags than the order, bulk loads rounded up at the silo, raw material paid on a supplier's weight instead of the plant's, and tickets edited after the truck has gone. Each is closed by the same discipline: the weight comes from the indicator, the load is checked against the order before the barrier opens, the truck is photographed, and every change is logged.
- Load checked against the order before the truck leaves
- Bag count and net weight reconciled per truck
- Raw material paid on the plant's own bridge
- Voids and edits logged and reported
Questions
Frequently asked
- Does it integrate with SAP?
- Yes. Delivery orders and master data come from SAP and each weighing posts back as a goods receipt or delivery. Microsoft Dynamics 365, Sage X3 and Odoo are supported the same way.
- Can dispatch run unmanned?
- Yes. ANPR cameras identify the truck, the software matches it to a pending order, barriers and lights control the lane and the driver collects the ticket at a kiosk. Most plants start with the operator in the loop and remove steps as confidence grows.
- How many bridges can it run?
- As many as the site has. Twin bridges, multi-deck bridges and axle bridges are all supported, with one dashboard across the plant and the depots.
- What about overloading?
- Gross vehicle mass and axle weights are checked against the limits before the truck leaves, so overloaded trucks are corrected at the plant instead of being fined or turned back on the road.
- Does it work with our existing weighbridges?
- Yes. The software reads the indicators already on the bridges. Where an indicator is old or unreliable we supply and fit one.
