Dampney’s Agri
Environmental based outside
Bournemouth has sites across
the West Country and is
waste sewage contractor for
Wessex Water. To increase the
efficiency and traceability of
its operations, Dampney’s
has invested in a GPRS data
connection system to transfer
truck load data from the
RDS Loadmaster 8000i
onboard weighing system to
the central office via the
mobile internet.

After sewage has gone
through an on-site drying
process, Dampney’s
distributes the remaining
solid sludge product known
as ‘cake’ from the local
treatment plants to farmers
who have purchased it in
advance from Wessex Water
as a cheap, effective fertiliser.

The GPRS data connection
system, supplied by CC
Software, transfers load data
from the weighing systems in
the roll-on/roll-off skips to
the company’s office.

Skips are loaded at the
treatment plant and weighed
as the container is mounted
to the truck. On completion
of the weighing cycle, data is
sent automatically through a
modem under the dashboard
to the central office via mobile
GPRS signal.Web access is
only needed at the central
office, so data can be
transferred in real time from
the cab to anywhere in the
country or indeed the world.
