"It is also possible to integrate the system into the tractor's telematics system using an RS232 hard wiring cable or via Bluetooth, and we are looking at integration with IsoBus," says Mr Hamilton.
Support
"Loading information would be displayed on the tractor terminal for this type of system."
Cropweigh takes two to three days to install, and customers have fitted their second and subsequent systems in-house with support from VWS.
In addition to retrofit kits, it can also be specified as an option on new trailers from Stewart, Bailey and Richard Western.
Once fitted, annual calibration is all the maintenance required, with Cropweigh systems starting at £1,550.
