Vishay Precision Group’s VPG onboard weighing product group has partnered with VUE, a leading UK supplier of vehicle CCTV, tracking, and telematics solutions, to enhance its 1300 BulkWeigh and 1300 WasteWeigh systems.
The new PM 1300 360-VUE systems is said to offer enhanced health and safety and security features through new video data recording capabilities and support for up to eight cameras, including near side, far side, front, rear, and load.
The BulkWeigh and WasteWeigh onboard weighing systems that use the new PM 1300 360-VUE indicator can come equipped with three cameras and provide support for an additional five cameras to provide drivers with a 360-degree view.
For increased safety, when the vehicle slows below 15mph (24km/hour) and the left turn indicator is on, the systems will automatically default to the near-side camera. This gives the driver a clear view of the blind spot, helping to avoid accidents with pedestrians and cyclists when turning left.
The reverse camera also features new technology that corrects the fish eye effect, providing drivers with a clear, undistorted rear view.
Offering a 500GB hard drive and recorder, the new PM 1300 360-VUE systems record vehicle speeds, G-forces, and the use of brakes and indicators for insurance purposes. Providing fully controlled loading and unloading recording, the systems record GPS position, date/time, vehicle load weight, and video of the load platform for any planned load or unload, which can be included on digital photographs and stills. This same information is also recorded any time the vehicle load changes by half a ton, ensuring that no unauthorised unloading of goods occurs.
The systems record load weights as text over video, and can store 30 days of data.
The new PM 1300 360-VUE BulkWeigh and WasteWeigh systems are now available now, and the enhanced features are also available as an upgrade to PM’s existing 1300 systems.
