MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (NYSE: VPG) today announced that its VPG
On-Board Weighing product group has partnered with VUE, a UK leading
supplier of vehicle CCTV, tracking, and telematics solutions, to enhance
its 1300 BulkWeigh and 1300 WasteWeigh systems.
The new PM 1300 360-VUE systems offer enhanced health and safety and
security features through new video data recording capabilities and
support for up to eight cameras, including near side, far side, front,
rear, and load.
The BulkWeigh and WasteWeigh on-board weighing systems that use the new
PM 1300 360-VUE indicator can come equipped with three cameras and
provide support for an additional five cameras to provide drivers with a
360-degree view.
For increased safety, when the vehicle slows below 15 mph and the left
turn indicator is on, the systems will automatically default to the
near-side camera. This gives the driver a clear view of the blind spot,
helping to avoid accidents with pedestrians and cyclists when turning
left.
The reverse camera also features new technology that corrects the “fish
eye” effect, providing drivers with a clear, undistorted rear view.
Offering a 500 GB hard drive and recorder, the new PM 1300 360-VUE
systems record vehicle speeds, G forces, and the use of brakes and
indicators for insurance purposes. Providing fully controlled loading
and unloading recording, the systems record GPS position, date/time,
vehicle load weight, and video of the load platform for any planned load
or unload, which can be included on digital photographs and stills. This
same information is also recorded any time the vehicle load changes by
half a ton, ensuring that no unauthorized unloading of goods occurs. The
systems record load weights as text over video, and can store 30 days of
data.
The new PM 1300 360-VUE BulkWeigh and WasteWeigh systems are available
now. The enhanced features are also available as an upgrade to PM’s
existing 1300 systems.
