Avery Unveils New Vehicle Scale Controller

Avery Weigh-Tronix LLC, based in Fairmont, Minn., has introduced the AVS-7 Vehicle Scale Controller, which the company says is a cost-effective, high-accuracy automated weighing solution for unattended truck sale operations.

According to the company, the AVS-7 control console collects driver and weight data efficiently and accurately, with no scale operator needed, in just a few steps. First a driver stops on the scale and swipes an identification card or manually enters an ID number and any requested data. The vehicle then exits the scale to be loaded or unloaded and upon returning to the scale for the outgoing weight, a ticket is printed displaying the weight and driver/truckload data, with all the collected information stored in AVS7’s database, the company says.

“The AVS-7 Vehicle Scale Controller gives users the ability to select the precise combination of features required for their operations such as an ID card reader for efficiently collecting driver information and a full QWERTY keyboard to facilitate manual data entry when needed,” says Larry Behrens, product manager at Avery Weigh-Tronix. “All ASV-7 configurations save users the cost and inconvenience of requiring a scale attendant on site and prove particularly useful at sites open 24/7.”

Additional features of the AVS-7 include:

·         E 1310 indicator with sun visor for enhanced readability in daylight 

        conditions;

·         Thermal printer with extra-large paper roll for reduced change-outs;

·         NEMA 4X enclosure to withstand challenging outdoor environments;  

        and

·         Locking access latches for increased security while allowing proper 

        access.
