The emerging by-products can be used as additives for concrete or as recycling material for road construction. They are collected regularly for further processing. The collection of these materials is taking place by day and night at different power plants (belonging to the main plant) all over Germany. The disposition for all collection trucks for the related power plants are made in the headquarters which is situated in the West of Germany.

The BITZER Logistic System is connected with the headquarters via a data line. Therefore, all deliveries and collections for the power plant are available in the system.

After the correct identification at the correct loading station (under the condition that the loading station is not occupied), the BITZER Logistic System opens the corresponding rolling shutter gates. The vehicle now drives onto the BITZER truck scale which is embedded into the loading line. The rolling shutter gates are closed automatically. The driver leaves the truck and goes to the BITZER loading terminal. He inserts the identification card and another check of the relevant data is taking place. Thereafter, the weight of the truck is registered automatically and shown to the driver on a connected external display.

The system already knows the quantity to be collected due to the central disposition. Therefore, the the loading fittings are released and the driver can start to load the truck.
As soon as the target quantity is reached, loading is automatically stopped by the system. After the second weighing, all data are stored and the driver is requested to quit the loading station. The rolling shutter gates open automatically for the exit. Then the driver has to insert once again the identification card at the registration, in order to finish the preparation of the delivery note. All data are now transferred to the headquarters, and the identification card is automatically retained. The barrier at the exit opens and the driver leaves the factory.
