Dover device is made by dover corporation.
Dover's technology includes Fueling and Fluid Handling Devices, Diagnostic
and Service Equipment, Automation of devices, Power Devices (for Electric Vehicles), Vehicle Components and Parts
manufacturing. Dover device is used to track the load in the gateway in a transport vehicle through the web application
and used in weighing system or load management system. Using Dover device, we can monitor the weight of the
vehicle’s load in real time. I have tested the device and tested the web application manually.
DOVER AND LOAD TRACKING SYSTEMS
Dover manufactures a range of technologies and equipment used in industrial applications, including load tracking and
weighing systems. These systems help to track and manage the weight carried by vehicles, especially in transportation
and logistics.
Dover devices used for load tracking and monitoring vehicles which includes:
1. Onboard Weighing Systems: These are devices installed on vehicles to monitor and track the weight of the load
being carried. These systems are designed to ensure that vehicles do not exceed weight limits
2. Weighing Indicators and Sensors: These devices often involve sensors to measure the weight of the vehicle. The
data from the sensors is sent to an onboard indicator or display unit, which provides real-time weight readings.
3. Load Cells: These are devices that converts a force into an electrical signal. The signals are then processed by a
weighing system to determine the load being carried by the vehicle.
HOW THE DOVER DEVICE IS USED TO TRACK LOAD IN THE GATEWAY OF A TRANSPORT VEHICLE:
Dover load-tracking device used to weigh the load before it enters the vehicle or during the loading process. An entry
point or gateway is the one where goods are loaded into the vehicle.
How it generally works is :
1. Installation of Load Tracking System: The system is installed on the vehicle, usually on the axles or cargo bed
where the load's weight is applied.
2. Weighing During Loading: As goods are loaded onto the vehicle, the onboard weighing system continuously
measures the load. This data is transmitted in real time to a display or dashboard system, showing the current
weight of the load being carried. This ensures that the vehicle is not overloaded.
3. Data Integration and Monitoring allows monitoring the weight at various points in the journey, helping to track
the weight of goods as they move through different transport stages (E.g., from warehouse to transport)
4. Regulatory Compliance: Dover system helps ensure vehicle doesn’t exceed these limits. It may alert the driver if
the load exceeds the allowed weight.
5. Load Weight History: Some systems can track the weight history for the vehicle. This can be useful for auditing,
reporting, and ensuring vehicle is not overloaded over multiple trips.
KEY BENEFITS OF DOVER’S LOAD TRACKING DEVICES IN TRANSPORT VEHICLES:
Safety: Prevents overloading of vehicles, which could lead to accidents, tire blowouts, or structural damage to
the vehicle.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensures vehicle complies with legal weight limits.
Efficiency: Provides real-time data to optimize the loading process, helps companies to avoid underloading or
overloading.
Cost Savings: By maintaining proper load distribution
Load Monitoring: Enables continuous monitoring of the vehicle’s load throughout the trip.
