Trimble has announced a new product, the SmartScale, which aims to be the next generation in payload measurement. A SmartScale uses artificial intelligence for faster, more accurate loading. It also connects machines and devices for the collection and syncing of loading data.

The L3180 SmartScale offers:

• Weighing artificial intelligence adjusting for rough terrain, technique, and machine movement for greater accuracy, precision and speed.
• Connected Quarry connectivity including built-in WiFi and GPS
• 40% better weighing precision
• New multi-axis solid-state IMU sensors
• In-cab performance KPIs (ton/hour, tons, truck count),   production metrics (ton/product) and Productive Time Tracking (time/product, time/task)
• Data caching during power or signal weakness/loss
• Loading location heatmap to monitor incorrect stockpile or truck loading
• Built-in WiFi and GPS
• 5.7” color touch screen
• eTicket sends load tickets via email
