Weighbridge fleet management software

Rontec's original RonWeigh fleet management package was a computer system for quickly and efficiently logging details of
all vehicles passing over a weighbridge.
Now Rontec is pleased to announce RonWeigh II - the same powerful management tool, but with many improved features,
making it easier and quicker to use
RonWeigh II runs on a PC under Windows 2000 Pro or XP Pro, using Microsoft Access as its database, making it
superbly versatile and incredibly powerful. Again developed in house at Rontec by people who have been involved with
weighbridge design for many years, it comes as a standard package which can be used as it is,
or tailored to your precise needs.

Main screen:
RonWeigh II is the new vehicle management system from Rontec. It is a logical development of the original RonWeigh
which itself was developed by drawing on more than twenty years of experience in producing weighbridge software.
It runs under Windows 2000 Pro or xp Pro and is even easier to use than the original. Anyone familiar with typical
Windows screens will feel at home right away. Anyone else will quickly discover just how user-friendly it is.
The software makes use of Microsoft Access database, a standard for industry and one from which data is very simply exported
should a different database be in operation. A personal computer is linked to the weighbridge, either directly if a flash memory
system is used, or via a tally roll printer.
Details of regular vehicles, customers, suppliers, hauliers, delivery or collection points, and materials are held on disk and can
be retrieved instantly by code or by name. Other categories can be added if required.
Any of these files may be associated with a particular vehicle. For example, an individual lorry could be linked to a customer,
a delivery point and a limited range of materials.
First and second weighings are of course catered for, as are public and casual weighings, which will need a weighticket but not a standard entry in the transaction file.

New RF Smart Card Facility
RonWeigh II has the ability to accept data from RF Smart Cards. This feature may be used on both manned and
unmanned weighbridges and in either case it dramatically speeds up weighings and guarantees data integrity.
The operator or driver offers up the card to a reader - no physical contact is necessary - and whether the vehicle is on its
first or second weighing, the rest is fully automatic. The system knows if he has weighed once, finds the partially completed database record, and completes the details of the second weighing, calculating the net weight.
If the tare weight is stored on the computer, only one visit to the weighbridge is needed.
The standard cards are credit-card size, but for special applications many alternatives are available, some of which can be read at distances of up to 1 metre from the sensor.
Basic reporting comes as standard, with customer, material and vehicle movement reports available over chosen timescales.
But as each transaction record is an Access record, users can, if they wish, write customised reports to suit their own
operation. In addition, Rontec will of course provide full customisation facilities for any requirements users may have.
Accounting Packages and Electronic Data Transfer

RonWeigh II can be interfaced with the Sales and Accounts offices to accept orders for fullfilment at the weighbridge and allowing the option of producing invoices.
RonWeigh II can also be configured to accept orders and send invoices by Electronic Data Transfer (EDT).
We can arrange with a Sage Solution Provider to link RonWeigh II to accounting packages, allowing sales invoices to be raised based upon the net weight and product cost per tonne to individual customers.
What are the advantages ?
First of all, operator familiarity. The screen looks just like a typical Windows application, because it is! This means that the user feels comfortable from the outset and can get to know the system much more quickly. All the normal Windows facilities are available and the operator just has to fill in the known details, either by typing, selecting from a list using the mouse or clicking on a button to call up the weight information. Just fill in the known details and leave the rest blank - if they are compulsory fields, the system will prompt you to complete them.
Secondly, because the data is on your hard disk in MS Access format, you have enormous flexibility. Without any further data
formatting, you have at your disposal the full power of the MS Access database. What is more, the standard Microsoft facilities for exporting into say Word or Excel are instantly available.Logging into an XML Schema is also possible.
