Driver self-service terminal: Operational efficiency and cost reduction for truck scales
Our driver self-service terminals are the perfect addition to complex entry and exit control systems at truck scales. They allow drivers to weigh themselves independently at the scales without the need for additional weighing personnel. Our solutions enable drivers to weigh themselves directly from the vehicle.
We can also equip the terminal with a loading control system so that drivers can load and unload themselves. Naturally, we supply the appropriate interfaces for your system. With our individually configurable self-service terminals for drivers, you can shorten throughput times and reduce running costs.
The use of driver self-service terminals for truck scales on company premises offers numerous advantages.
It increases efficiency as drivers can carry out the weighing process independently without having to wait for staff.
It improves accuracy as human error can be minimized.
It reduces operating costs as fewer staff are needed to operate the scale.
It also increases safety as drivers do not have to leave the vehicle to operate the scale.
Finally, it also improves traceability as data can be automatically recorded and stored.
Overall, the use of driver self-service terminals helps to improve operational efficiency and accuracy while reducing costs and safety risks.

Brief description
The self-service terminals are designed for a wide range of applications and individual system solutions for entry and exit control systems on truck scales or rail vehicle scales.
The modular housing is largely made of aluminum or stainless steel.
This ensures the best possible protection against corrosion.
The front of the self-service terminals is fitted with customized components.
The installation position and the number of devices
can be determined individually.
Core functions
Registration of weighings, authentication of the driver via barcode, order number and more, full integration with the weighing software Support for subsequent tasks such as loading, unloading, load inspection, provision of the weighing slip

Freedom of combination
Control column HE-MXXL
With a height of 2.8 m, the control column for our driver self-service terminal offers a large installation area of 310 mm x 2000 mm that can be individually fitted throughout, making it suitable for all vehicles from cars to trucks. The large installation depth creates a universal platform for all customer-specific installations, such as weighing terminals, terminal PCs, printers, card and/or barcode readers, hands-free telephones, video surveillance and more. The control column is made of aluminum (housing) and stainless steel (base) and is designed for durability. The front consists of a front panel that can be extended on telescopic rails and a plug-in door, whereby the opening is secured by a lock. The control column is available in different colors.
RFID card reader
VOXIO LEGIC
Our RFID reader VOXIO is supplied as a built-in version as standard. Thanks to the optional housing, the reader can also be used as a surface-mounted reader. If a data carrier is held in the field of the reader, the defined data content is read and a short acoustic signal confirms the successful reading. The data is converted into an interface format and transmitted to the higher-level input terminal or computer system via the interface.
Kiosk printer
HE-TG
Extremely fast ticket dispenser (e.g. up to 120 mm/s) for different paper formats (e.g. paper width 60 mm). The HE-TG direct thermal printer is ultra-compact and easy to install. Thanks to the exclusive jam protection system, the ticket is always issued directly to the user. Thanks to the innovative paper roll holder, paper up to 83m long can be inserted and the printer can be adapted to the mechanical and space requirements. The HE-TG printer is the ideal solution for our HE self-service terminals.
Handsfree telephone
The industry standard consists of three modules with up to four call buttons for connection to a telephone system. The call button can be assigned a fixed call number that is dialed when the button is pressed. A door opener connected to a control contact of the hands-free telephone can be confirmed by entering a code number from the inside (on the called party’s telephone). The telephone has two such control contacts and can be used for any purpose. It is installed ready for connection in our self-service terminal or in an optimally available pedestal.
Built-in barcode scanner
HE-GFS
Our barcode reader for installation in our self-service terminals can read common 1D (barcodes) and 2D (QR) codes. The data is converted into an interface format and transmitted to the higher-level input terminal or computer system via the interface. In order to guarantee reliable scanning performance, the module is housed in a housing sealed with high-grade resin, making it compliant with industrial standards. The reader features patented technology that visually indicates successful code capture to the user, minimizing errors by the driver during self-service.
