Add load sensors

Load sensors are devices that are attached to the axle to measure the weight of a vehicle/ trolley. Calibration of the load sensor is done to ensure that the software is accurately tracking the weight which is important for managing the weight and safety of the vehicle, as well as for regulatory compliance.

Before you get started #

You need to configure the weight sensor details in the object profile.

• Double-click on the object record for which you want to calibrate the sensor.
• Navigate to Profile.
  
  
  • Click on the checkbox of Weight Sensor.
    
    
• • In Object Empty Weight enter the weight of the vehicle when it is empty.
• • In Object Full Weight enter the weight of the vehicle when it is loaded fully.
  • In Load Capacity enter the load capacity of the vehicle by deducting the vehicle’s empty weight from the vehicle’s full weight.
  • Underweight Tolerance value is given 25 % by default. You can change it according to your requirement. Here, 25% of the total load will be considered as under weight. 
  • Overweight Tolerance value is given 10% by default. You can change it according to your requirement. Here, 10% of the total load will be considered as overweight.
