Rice Lake’s ATK Automated Ticketing Kiosk System can be used in a single- or multi-kiosk configuration.
Single Configuration
The single configuration can be used for both the weigh-in and weigh-out functions. Trucks can proceed directly to
the scale without the driver ever having to exit the vehicle. Tare weights can be established as often as required, per
transaction, or set up to expire after a longer period of time. The driver may interact with the kiosk to change load
information such as customer, job, destination, or product. After the truck is loaded, it returns to the scale and
weighs out using the same kiosk to capture the truck’s loaded weight and print the ticket.
Multi-Kiosk Configuration
The multi-kiosk configuration uses standard, non-printing kiosks as well as ticket printing kiosks, scales, and silo
load-out systems to automate the loading of material in the trucks. Trucks check in to the yard and are directed to
the correct location, depending on the required product or dumping area. Lane verification kiosks check to ensure
the truck is at the correct location before allowing the loading or unloading process to begin. The truck is weighed
and the ticket is saved to a ticket stack. When the driver reaches the print ticket kiosk, the ticket is retrieved from
the stack and printed.
There are five ways to access the kiosk system:
• RFID Card Reader
• Number Keypad
• Number Keypad/Card Reader
• Smart Pass Antenna
• Smart Pass and HID Tags
