Weighbridge Intelligence

Stop the fire
before it starts.

Undeclared lithium batteries arrive hidden inside waste and recycling loads - phones, vapes, e-bike packs, power tools, laptops. Crushed or punctured in processing, a single cell goes into thermal runaway and can take the building with it. Visual inspection doesn't catch them, driver declarations don't cover them, and the first warning the alarm gives you is that the fire is already inside the pile. OPTARIS scans every inbound vehicle as it crosses the bridge, scores the risk live, and holds the barrier before the load is tipped.

What changes
01

Caught at the gate, not in the pile. Every inbound vehicle scanned in seconds before tipping - risk lives at the barrier, not on the floor.

02

Your fire alarm tells you the building is on fire. We tell you a battery is overheating before it starts - and hold the vehicle before the load is tipped.

03

Forensic evidence package per held vehicle. Continuous compliance evidence supports reduced insurance premiums in a market where waste-site cover has doubled.

What this means for you

Same brain. Different sites.

Waste & recyclingBatteries caught at the weighbridge before they reach the floor.
Materials recoveryInsurance-grade evidence for every load that triggered a hold.
Scrap metalLithium contamination flagged on inbound, not after the fact.
Energy from wasteRisk visibility before the feedstock enters the bunker.
Battery recyclingDamaged or thermally-runaway cells caught at intake, not at processing.

Prevent one fire in a decade and the platform has paid for itself many times over. Cut premiums by even a fraction and it pays for itself in year one.
