DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Environmental Solutions Group (ESG), part of Dover (NYSE: DOV), today announced a new offering between Soft-Pak™ and 3rd Eye® that provides Bluetooth integration of onboard digital scales with Soft-Pak's in-cab tablets.

The improved hands-free connectivity allows data from most digital scales to transmit container content weight wirelessly to the in-cab Mobile-Pak™ tablet and then to the Soft-Pak back office, via the 3rd Eye Digital Gateway without any driver interaction. This simplifies the driver's workload considerably, reducing data entry errors and improving safety by allowing the driver to focus on operating the vehicle and monitoring the surroundings while the scale captures the accurate weight and transmits the information seamlessly.

"These scales provide fleet owners with data that collects container content weights from each stop, allowing for upsell opportunities if a customer's containers come in consistently heavy," said Verif-Eye™ Project Manager, Robert Mitchener. "The auto-weigh feature is now combined as a feature available within the Connected Collections Verif-Eye Positive Service Verification SaaS module and further strengthens our offering's 'hands-free' capability."

"Haulers have desired commercial container content weights for years. However, the objective has always been to have office personnel acquire this weight data in a manner that does not rely on the driver. Integration with 3rd Eye and Soft-Pak has made this a reality. This integration opens the door for onboard FEL scales to allow haulers to optimize profits on their commercial FEL routes while maintaining the efficiencies of the driver. Our partnership with these innovative companies has been a very successful tool for many refuse customers," said North American Refuse Market Manager of Air-Weigh, Jack Ewing.

The Auto-Weigh feature* is part of ESG's Connected Collections Digital Strategy to provide information to fleet owners to help them make better decisions faster. The Verif-Eye Auto-Weigh feature is compatible with onboard scales from Air-Weigh, Vulcan, Digiload, Loadman® and Trimble, Inc.

Contact your Soft-Pak or 3rd Eye sales representative for more information.

*Scale performance and accuracy may vary between scale manufacturers. Contact your specific scale manufacturer to determine weight accuracy parameters and whether scale outputs are certified for use in commerce by the U.S. Office of Weights and Measures.
