How It Works

          
    • Dispatch for Loading is a module within VisionLink® Productivity that integrates with your scale house check-in software to centralize yard communication with your wheel loader operators.
    •     
    • After trucks check in at the scale house, Dispatch for Loading provides the loader operator(s) a list of jobs by zone, truck ID, material, payload target, and truck time since check-in.
    •     
    • Helps ensure that the right truck is loaded with the right amount of material while minimizing loading times and avoiding zone backups.
    How It Works

Wheel Loader Display

    • Loader operators can view a list of trucks by ID, zone, material, and target payload and see the truck time since entering the yard.
    • Dispatch for Loading works with Advanced Payload, which is integrated into next generation Cat wheel loaders.
    • Payload technologies deliver precise bucket load information with on-the-go weighing, which helps prevent over or underloading.

    NOTE: Payload technologies are not legal for trade.

    • The cloud-based Dispatch for Loading dashboard provides an overview of daily operations and allows users to monitor day-to-day progress based on key performance indicators.
    • Some of the key indicators include:
    1. Loaders - The total number of loaders available at the jobsite and active loaders currently loading.
    2. Waiting to Load - The number of trucks waiting to be loaded at the jobsite.
    3. Completed - The number of trucks that have been loaded and have checked out at the scale house.
