2 Protecting shipping revenue in the parcel and express freight industry Fast, Accurate Dimensional Weight Data Whether shipping goods by road, air or sea, having accurate weight and dimension data is vital to charging correctly and protecting profitability. With patent-pending, the Revenue Protection Solution from Avery Weigh-Tronix offers a unique and effective way of capturing freight dimensions and weight while minimising manual capture and input. As the first trade-approved mobile weighing and dimensioning solution on the market, it provides significant time and cost saving versus manual alternatives. Achieve up to 68% improvement in process efficiency MANUAL: 386 seconds Static Weighing + Manual Weight Capture + Manual Dimensioning + Manual Data Entry VS 68% Total process efficiency improvement * DYNAMIC: 132 seconds Wireless Data Transfer Dynamic Weight Capture Digital Dimensioning * Figures based on field trials, actual results may vary.

3 Capture lost revenue with a complete audit trail Software within the indicator links to back office systems where it can be used to cross check customer-declared data with the data provided by the Revenue Protection system. The data sent to the back office includes date, time and operator ID, as well as the weight and dimensions, providing a verified audit trail in support of surcharges raised. Fast, accurate dimensional weight data, without any extra steps With its robust, patented design, the Avery Weigh- Tronix forklift scale, combined with our legal for trade mobile digital dimensioning solution, can quickly and accurately capture the weight and dimension of parcels and heavy / large freight. This solution helps to protect against the revenue loss that can be caused by under declaration of consignment weights, while removing the extra processing time and floor space often associated with additional revenue protection checks. Customer ID, consignment ID, weight, and dimensions are captured by the system and transmitted wirelessly to back office systems for verification, providing freight handlers with the data trail required to identify and apply surcharges, while also reducing the likelihood of customer disputes and credit-backs. Data capture on the move With durability and accuracy at the very heart of its innovative design, the Avery Weigh-Tronix forklift scale makes it possible to lift, weigh, move and record a load in one operation. The ability to accurately weigh materials while in transit increases productivity by eliminating the need to travel to a floor scale, wait for access and unload the consignment to weigh it. Data is transmitted to a colour, touch-screen indicator, where it is stored while the rest of the information is collected.

4 REVENUE PROTECTION SOLUTION Easy to use weight display calculates dimensional weight Capable of displaying over 18 different data fields simultaneously, the intuitive touch-screen indicator offers a powerful yet easy-to-use solution to collate consignment data and integrate with back office systems. The ability to access on-screen QWERTY and alphanumeric keypads also allows data to be entered into the system manually, if required. The system will automatically calculate a volumetric weight for the consignment and compare it to the actual weight, alerting the operator to consignments where a volumetric surcharge could be applied. The volumetric weight calculation can also be included in the data sent to back office systems dealing with surcharges. Where required, the weight data can also be captured and incorporated into the indictor and software using other materials handling equipment. Digital dimensioning minimises human-error and replaces manual systems The 3 metre digital dimensioning tape, which is legal for trade, is used to capture an item s barcode and dimensions. An inbuilt barcode scanner can be used to capture the consignment ID, customer details and routing data, which is transmitted wirelessly into the weight indicator that sits on the forklift truck. This customer and dimensional data is then processed along with weight data to calculate the volumetric weight of the consignment. This process can take place while the item is still sitting on the forklift forks, reducing the number of touch-points and streamlining processes further.

5 A tough and durable system you can rely on The Avery Weigh-Tronix forklift scale system is like no other on the market. The patented one-piece construction is extremely strong and durable, reducing the likelihood of failure by protecting the highly accurate Weigh Bar weight sensors deep within its metal frame. This unique design means no flexures, springs or hydraulics to break down, ensuring that the scale can withstand the knocks, overloads and general abuse of a busy freight-handling environment. More than 20 years of engineering development, plus extensive field testing in the harshest of environments, means that our forklift scale will reduce downtime and provide your business with reliable, fast and accurate weight readings. Weigh Bar weight sensor (4) Forklift Forks (2) The digital dimensioning device has been engineered with high quality components to ensure accuracy and reliability in industrial environments. The tough casing is designed to withstand wear and tear and further reinforced with a durable, easy grip silicone sleeve. Forklift Scale Frame The scale unit, which is bolted onto a forklift carriage, is easy to retrofit to any make of forklift truck and comes in a range of capacities. It uses electronic weight sensors to deliver accurate results, even if the forklift mast is tilted or the pallet load is off-centre. Trade Approval In all applications where products are traded by weight, it is a legal requirement that weighing equipment must be verified as legal-for-trade. The Avery Weigh-Tronix Revenue Protection Solution has the required verification to be able to apply charges based on the data provided. As well as meeting legal requirements, the legal-for-trade approval can also be seen as a badge of reliability - proof that your equipment can provide repeatable weighing of goods, ensuring customer satisfaction and precise billing along with accurate and auditable records.
