The precise measuring of the weight of rolling stock is important to avoid overweight, control the flow of goods and to assure security. The consequences of a vehicular that is one-sided loaded can be very costly and unpleasant. The empty axis can be ejected of the rail and this can lead to a derailment. Only a precise measuring of the load can avoid such accidents.

The DIGI SENS sensors are, as in every application very easy to install and to use. Contrary to weigh-bridges not every single vehicular has to be measured. Furthermore the DIGI SENS measuring systems have the advantage compared to stretch stripes, that they can be installed in the field. The DIGI SENS sensor can be mounted directly without having to cut out and process the rail.
