Touchmate and Zytronic team to provide kiosks for managing construction equipment transportation

June 2, 2020

Boral Limited, an Australian construction material supplier, has installed kiosks at weigh bridges to avoid bottlenecks, according to a press release.

The kiosks, which assist in monitoring weights on each truck entering and leaving a site, eliminate the need to manually process each truck at a stand-alone weigh bridge.

To simplify and speed up the throughput of trucks entering its quarries and mines, Boral turned to technology integration company TouchMate. 

ToutchMate sourced its electronic peripherals from JEA Technologies of Melbourne, which recommended projected capacitive touch technology from Zytronic.

Haulage drivers now use kiosks with Zytronic's interactive touch sensors at Boral's incoming and outgoing weigh bridges to avoid bottlenecks. 

Boral has seen its quarry truck check-in times drop by 20 to 30 minutes, said TouchMate managing director, David Ellsworth.
