Bulk and Bag Loading Automation24/7 self-service loading for all materials

Bulk and bag material loading is a complex task that requires several systems to work together seamlessly to ensure correct loading: the right truck needs to load the right material in the right amount. This is crucial, as even slight underloading accumulates rapidly over the long term, creating costly inefficiencies, while overloading a truck may have even legal consequences.

Furthermore, loading is often still done manually and therefore slow, inefficent and error-prone. VAS Loading automation changes that by automating and optimizing your loading processes – whether via silo, wheel loader or fork lift.

The process at a glance

Automated Bulk and Bag loading with VAS Self Service

Step 1:
Identification


The driver registers at the loading terminal by scanning the QR-Code on the loading slip or other suitable means of identification like Automated Number Plate Recognition.

Step 2:
Check against order data


The system automatically identifies the delivery and verifies, whether the driver is at the correct loading station.

Step 3:
Loading weight calculation


VAS calculates the maximum loading weight based on the vehicle type, the tare weight, which can be either recorded at plant entry or directly at the loading station, and the delivery destination.

Step 4:
Automated loading


VAS automatically transfers the net weight to the relevant loading equipment. The truck weight can be monitored during loading. The loading is stopped as soon as the maximum load weight is reached. All necessary loading information and the status is shown at the VAS terminal.

Hardware independent loading automation

Your benefits with VAS Bag and Bulk loading automation

The VAS bulk and bag loading automation works hardware independent which enables the system to integrate any pre-existing hardware like weighbridge models and loading PLCs as well as forklift or wheel loader scales in a holistic workflow automation – no need for an expensive hardware change!

Thanks to its open system architecture, the VAS Bulk and Bag Loading Automation adapts flexibly to future requirements and expansions.

VAS enables the driver to load 24/7 without staff interaction, enhancing safety and reducing the risk of miscommunication and error.

Thanks to VAS multi-language support, the driver can operate the self service terminal in the language he is the most familiar with, eliminating language barriers. New languages can easily be added to VAS.

Loading Process Monitoring

The loading automation is controlled and monitored by the VAS Yard Management Software, where plant management and logistic operators can view real-time dashboards, the loading process status, time stamps and KPI Reports for in-depth process analysis and optimisation
