Weighbridge Automation Software for Trade Weighing Applications
NMI Certified Trade Approved weighbridges are the go-to for industries such as logistics, agriculture, construction, and manufacturing in Australia. If you’re using a weighbridge for trade weighing, it’s crucial to ensure that it is an NMI-approved model and that your processes are set-up well enough to collect data accurately, not only for your own records but also for compliance purposes.
Implementing automation software like FlexPoint can streamline this process, helping to maintain compliance and improve overall operational efficiency.
