VEI Group - On-Board Weighing Systems

VEI Group provides state-of-the-art on-board weighing systems to the mining and other industries, including helper21, the first on-board weighing system which integrates the palm concept with a unique VEI operating system, allowing a powerful solution that’s also simple to use.

ON-BOARD WEIGHING SYSTEMS AND PAYLOAD MANAGEMENT

The helper21 is not only a weighing system, but provides complete payload management combined with a modern and user-friendly interface, which makes the most advanced technology available to the mining industry.

Manufactured with the latest electronic components available today, the helper21 manages the workflow for you. It is able to connect wirelessly to a remote location, no matter how far away.

Nowdays, the loadings done on-site must be linked to other vital management data that are part of the business' logistics in order to be analyzed and optimized to reduce costs and increase profits per transported tonne.

COMPLETE PAYLOAD DATA MANAGEMENT

Helper21 helps you manage the following payload data:

• Weight
• Customer name and carrier name
• Destination name
• Project ID and order number
• Product name
• Price
• Driver ID / machine ID
• Simultaneous blends management
• Truck’s axle weight management
• Truck’s plate identification
• Driver's ID password lock

With helper21, your data and machine ignition is password protected.

PAYLOAD DATA ANALYSIS SOFTWARE

VEI also offers ipot, its software for analysis of payload data. Whether using the USB ikey or wireless communication, all data are stored in one master database. From ipot, data can be exported to invoicing software and a variety of reports can be generated. With ipot an automatic printout can be launched on a remote office laser printer directly from your loader.

With helper21, no more printouts will be delivered in the loader’s cab. The helper 21 with its wireless communication can produce the printout in your nearby office, allowing the truck driver to find the delivery docket right at the exit of the site.

DUMPER PAYLOAD MONITORING SYSTEM

The dumper load payload monitoring system for off-highway rigid dump trucks was developed directly on opencast sites in order to perfect the instrument’s inherent operating and automation characteristics. Integration of the instrument into dumper work cycles makes the productivity monitoring much easier and more precise.

ON-BOARD DUMPER SCALE

Versatile and fully automatic, VEI’s on-board dumper scale ensures that the dumper is used in compliance with its design standards. Preventing overload means lower maintenance costs and tyre wear, important considerations when managing a dumper fleet.

The instrument is also capable of remote transmission of load status in order to optimise the distribution of the fleet within a mine. Proper distribution of the fleet cuts down on unproductive waiting times and assists decision-making with regard to its replacement. It is an indispensable tool that ensures reliable data and no question marks.

Features of the company's on-board dumper scale include:

• Programmable maximum load
• Axle weight monitoring
• Loading machine payload monitoring
• Loading indicator lights
• Loading / unloading cycle management
• Fully automatic without the need for human intervention
• Dlogger port for pocket size data memory or real-time wireless data transmission

ON-BOARD WEIGHING UNIT BENEFITS

Benefits of employing VEI’s on-board dumper scale include:

• Production monitoring and control
• Prevent overload and safeguard tyre wear
• Display transported quantity and cost per ton evaluation
• Loading machine production monitoring
• Monitoring of loading / unloading cycle times
• Optimised choice of loader
• Facilitate loader duties by indicating required load quantity

DUMPER PRODUCTIVITY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

With ipot mine each dumper is controlled from the time it is switched on until it goes to parking. ipot gives you the loading and unloading data as well as the trip times in order to optimize the mining traffic and production.
