Accurate, reliable dynamic weighing solutions for diverse industries and applications.
Dynamic Weighing Solutions with UniWin®
Dynamic weighing is a method where the item being weighed remains in motion, providing real-time weight measurements during transit. Typically, this method involves one weighing action to determine the quantity received or shipped, offering an efficient way to monitor material flow.
Various dynamic weighing devices are used across industries for different types of loads, including trucks, railcars, barges, and more.

Dynamic Weighing Applications
UniWin® offers a range of dynamic weighing solutions, providing effective measurement techniques for moving loads across various industries. The software integrates seamlessly with each type of dynamic weighing device, ensuring accurate data collection and operational efficiency.
Hopper Weighing
Hopper weighing is commonly used at facilities where products are loaded into or out of silos or tanks, including trucks, railcars, and barges. The system measures smaller amounts of product and totals the quantity received or shipped. However, hopper weighing is not suitable for determining the overall gross weight of a vehicle or railcar.
Belt Weighing
Belt weighing is similar to hopper weighing but is more suitable for rougher, non-fluid products. This method is typically used for continuous materials such as bulk goods or raw materials, and it provides real-time measurement as the product moves across a conveyor belt.
Axle Weighing
Axle weighing is a dynamic method used to weigh trucks and railcars by measuring the weight of each axle as the vehicle drives over the weighing system at a slow speed. While this is considered a dynamic weighing technique, it requires two weighings to calculate the total weight of the vehicle or load.
Flow Weighing
Flow weighing is used for measuring fluids that are received or shipped, and it can be applied to trucks, railcars, and barges. This system measures the total quantity of fluid that passes through the flow meter, offering real-time tracking of material movement. However, like hopper and belt weighing, flow weighing is not suitable for determining the overall gross weight of the vehicle or railcar.
Truck Weighing
While trucks are usually weighed on large platform scales, dynamic weighing systems such as axle, hopper, or flow weighing are sometimes used, depending on the specific requirements of the operation. Dynamic scales are not ideal for determining the overall gross weight of trucks or railcars, but they can offer useful insights into specific loads or quantities.
Barge Weighing
Barges often use hopper or flow weighing systems for determining the total weight of their contents. Due to their size, barges cannot be weighed using traditional platform scales, making these dynamic weighing systems an ideal solution.
Railcar Weighing
Railcars can be weighed using both static and dynamic scales. While dynamic scales are useful for weighing the individual components of a railcar (such as axles or fluid), they are not recommended for determining the overall gross weight of the entire vehicle.

While trucks are usually weighed on large platform scales, dynamic weighing systems such as axle, hopper, or flow weighing are sometimes used, depending on the specific requirements of the operation. Dynamic scales are not ideal for determining the overall gross weight of trucks or railcars, but they can offer useful insights into specific loads or quantities.
UniWin® works seamlessly with dynamic truck weighing systems to collect and store weight data accurately. By integrating dynamic weighing methods with our software, businesses can monitor the flow of materials while still maintaining an efficient process for tracking loads. UniWin® helps ensure that data is recorded precisely, whether the weighing system is static or dynamic.
Railcar Weighing
Railcars can be weighed using both static and dynamic scales. While dynamic scales are useful for weighing the individual components of a railcar (such as axles or fluid), they are not recommended for determining the overall gross weight of the entire vehicle.
UniWin® enhances dynamic railcar weighing by accurately logging weight data from both static and dynamic systems. The software allows for seamless integration with the required weighing method, ensuring precise measurement for different load types. UniWin® offers flexibility and reliability for managing railcar shipments, providing essential data for tracking and compliance.
Barge Weighing
Barges often use hopper or flow weighing systems for determining the total weight of their contents. Due to their size, barges cannot be weighed using traditional platform scales, making these dynamic weighing systems an ideal solution.
UniWin® accommodates both hopper and flow weighing systems for barges, ensuring accurate weight measurements for goods being shipped via water. The software integrates with these systems to provide real-time data on material movements, helping to streamline operations and ensure accurate tracking of shipments.
Hopper Weighing
Hopper weighing is commonly used at facilities where products are loaded into or out of silos or tanks, including trucks, railcars, and barges. The system measures smaller amounts of product and totals the quantity received or shipped. However, hopper weighing is not suitable for determining the overall gross weight of a vehicle or railcar.
UniWin® integrates seamlessly with hopper weighing systems, making it easier to track the total quantity of products loaded or unloaded. It helps provide accurate weight data for specific operations, ensuring that the measurements align with operational requirements. While it may not provide gross weight, UniWin® supports accurate tracking of materials handled through the system.
Conveyor Belt Weighing
Belt weighing is similar to hopper weighing but is more suitable for rougher, non-fluid products. This method is typically used for continuous materials such as bulk goods or raw materials, and it provides real-time measurement as the product moves across a conveyor belt.
UniWin® ensures precision and real-time data logging with belt weighing systems, supporting industries that rely on continuous material flow. By providing detailed tracking and measurement throughout the process, UniWin® helps optimize operations by minimizing errors in weight calculation and maintaining operational transparency.
Flow Weighing
Flow weighing is used for measuring fluids that are received or shipped, and it can be applied to trucks, railcars, and barges. This system measures the total quantity of fluid that passes through the flow meter, offering real-time tracking of material movement. However, like hopper and belt weighing, flow weighing is not suitable for determining the overall gross weight of the vehicle or railcar.
UniWin® supports flow weighing systems by integrating the real-time fluid data into a centralized database. This integration ensures that the total volume received or shipped is accurately tracked, while also providing operators with valuable insights into fluid management. For industries handling large quantities of fluids, UniWin® enables smooth and efficient operation management.
Axle Weighing
Axle weighing is a dynamic method used to weigh trucks and railcars by measuring the weight of each axle as the vehicle drives over the weighing system at a slow speed. While this is considered a dynamic weighing technique, it requires two weighings to calculate the total weight of the vehicle or load.
UniWin® enhances axle weighing by accurately recording the weight of each axle and calculating the total weight for trucks and railcars. The software ensures that each weighing is logged efficiently, providing precise data for tracking and managing load shipments. By integrating axle weighing into its system, UniWin® helps businesses streamline vehicle management and optimize transportation logistics.
