Once the card is registered, the driver can do a booking to proceed to loading or unloading. A booking number will be generated and allotted to the driver based on some criteria like transaction type, loading/unloading location, etc. The system will call the booking number based on priority and will be displayed on a remote display screen that can be placed facing to the truck parking area, so that the drivers can view the displayed number.

Image Capturing

FraudGuard is capable of capturing and maintaining the picture of truck number plate, driver face, etc. at the time of weigh in and weigh out process. Image Capturing Module is designed to configure number of available cameras and is for capturing the images at different stages of the weighing operation.
