Switzerland Load Volume Scanner: Makies AG Leads the Way in Accurate Material Measurement

Accurate measurement of bulk materials is critical for civil construction, landfill operations, and clean fill management. In Switzerland, Makies AG is setting a benchmark by adopting the Switzerland Load Volume Scanner (LVS-3BMF) to improve operational efficiency, data accuracy, and real-time reporting.

Pioneering the First Switzerland Load Volume Scanner

Makies AG commissioned their LVS-3BMF in 2014, initially set up remotely via Skype, which was a novel approach at the time. Recently, Loadscan visited the site in Ebersecken and confirmed the system had been successfully integrated into the company’s operations. The team at Makies AG has developed a highly efficient workflow, combining state-of-the-art equipment with best-practice operational processes.

Real-Time Data Integration

One of the standout features of the Makies AG system is its live data feed back to the company’s headquarters in Zell. Using Loadscan Overview reporting software, all inbound clean fill loads are automatically tracked and recorded, providing management with accurate, real-time reporting. This data integration ensures every cubic meter of material is accounted for, streamlining both operational and administrative tasks.

RFID Integration for Automated Truck Identification

All Makies AG trucks and customer vehicles using the system are tagged with TagMaster RFID tags. These tags allow automatic identification during scanning, eliminating manual errors and ensuring each load is precisely measured. The system is fully automated, providing a seamless method for monitoring material volumes while allowing for remote control and oversight.

Benefits of the Switzerland Load Volume Scanner

Makies AG’s implementation highlights the advantages of modern load measurement technology:

• Accurate volume tracking for every load, reducing errors and disputes.

• Real-time reporting for enhanced operational oversight.

• Automated RFID integration for seamless truck identification.

• Remote monitoring capabilities, allowing headquarters to manage site operations efficiently.

By adopting the Switzerland Load Volume Scanner, Makies AG has improved efficiency, ensured compliance, and set a high standard for bulk material management in the Swiss construction and landfill sectors.
