Belt weighers are complex devices! Whilst accuracy is of upmost importance, how does a site manager know their belt weighing equipment has any issues?

In the past, accuracy issues with belt weighers were typically discovered during preventative maintenance calls by belt weighing service technicians. If these preventative maintenance calls are three months apart, then is possible your belt weigher has been operating inaccurately since the last service call with consequential impacts on the business.

CST has developed The Calibration Dashboard, a unique new feature of its software platform for the WIM3 processing electronics.  The WIM3 can be fitted to any brand of belt weigher.

Download a WIM3 BrochureThe CST Calibration Dashboard uses a traffic light system highlighting six sub sections of the belt weigher itself. If all six of these areas of the Calibration Dashboard are green, then your belt weigher is running optimally. If any area is yellow then the Calibration Dashboard is telling the site manager that there may be an issue in the belt weigher. If an area is red then the site manager should invoke a corrective maintenance call to a service.  CST also has another innovative remote maintenance solution called RCS (Remote Care Service), which can save valuable time and money.

The Calibration Dashboard changes the maintenance regime form being reactive to one of being proactive.

A simple visual inspection of the calibration dashboard will inform the site managers about the health of their belt weighers. They no longer have to worry about the dark art of issues effecting belt weigher accuracy.

CST has developed a training simulation course for the key procedures typically used for the WIM3.  CST has an increasing number of online training courses available to help technicians and customers get the best out our products by maintaining maximum efficiency, accuracy and reliability.
