Rice Lake Weighing Systems
Operators who are still handwriting scale tickets should realize there is a faster way to move trucks across the scales—while improving safety, accuracy, and efficiency. That’s exactly what Rice Lake’s Automated Ticketing Systems (ATS) with OnTrak software provides.  ATS kiosks can be manual or automated with tools like RFID readers, printers, intercoms, and keyboards. Drivers stay in their cabs, data stays accurate and secure, and trucks move smoothly through the operation.
