Silo Loadout Safety System with AI

The Safest Silo Loadout System

The Look, Lock ‘n Load® silo safety system is a breakthrough method for asphalt plant operators to load trucks while avoiding the danger of dropping hot mix onto truck cabs or other incorrect loadout positions.

Using A.I. (artificial intelligence), the system digitally scans incoming trucks and differentiates between the truck’s cab and bed. The display indicates a red zone for the truck cab and a green zone for the bed.

The Look, Lock ‘n Load tracks the truck’s position as it moves through the loading zone, only approving the silo gates to open while the truck is in the proper loading position. The console allows manual load override and an optional keylock to prevent bypass loadouts, if so desired by plant managers. This safety system can be integrated with any plant brand.

System components include a high-resolution imaging module, digital recognition computer and console, and a panel for monitoring each silo.

System Features

“It gives us so much more confidence and information when the truck rolls on the scale. We have timed it and our old loadout time was about five minutes per truck, we’re now down to two minutes with the Look, Lock 'n Load.”

An Operator's Best Friend

“I was very skeptical…and tried for HOURS to make the Look, Lock ‘n Load fail. It never failed…WE LOVE THE SYSTEM”

That’s what one of our customers shared after installing the Lock, Lock ‘n Load. They put it through its paces and were excited to find that this incredible safety system surpassed every expectation.

One Year - Zero Spills

We recently caught up with Robert Schedko, Plant Operator at Hall Paving, to hear his thoughts on the Look, Lock ‘n Load system we installed a year ago. Robert shared a lot of valuable feedback on how the system has significantly improved operations at his plant, but what stood out most was his statement: “Since we have used it we have had zero hood hits and zero spills on the deck for this whole season.”

A Revolution in Plant Safety

Raymond Palonen, Asphalt Construction Manager for MCC, talks about his experience with the Look, Lock ‘n Load and how it’s creating a safer environment for employees and customers at MCC. “The question is, why aren’t other companies… using Look, Lock ‘n Load? and quite frankly I don’t know! They should be.”

Testimonials

“We have long tunnels over the entire truck drive-thru, so visibility is an issue. The Look, Lock 'n Load gives us a lot of confidence to view that the truck is in a safe position and is set for load and discharge. A real game-changer.”

“Recruiting personnel is a huge challenge. We have many new plant operators and other personnel that are trying to do a good job, but our final opinion is that the Look, Lock 'n Load can prevent me from firing a lot of operators because of the repeated accidental discharges.”

“We actually installed the Look, Lock 'n Load on our batch tower. Maybe it shouldn’t have happened, but we did have discharges at times on cab from the pugmill. This just eliminates that issue.”

“We are restricted on operating hours at our location. The trucks can come in and line up, but we can’t actually start discharging mix until about 6 AM. With the Look, Lock 'n Load we can get the trucks loaded and out of there so much faster.”

“We’re very excited because we now have the confidence to loadout simultaneously on both truck scales since we have a scale under each lane of three silos.”

“We did not realize that we had that much of a problem and discovered there were accidental mix discharges all the time for a variety of reasons. This Look, Lock 'n Load could potentially save us hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

“It gives us so much more confidence and information when the truck rolls on the scale. We have timed it and our old loadout time was about five minutes per truck, we’re now down to two minutes with the Look, Lock 'n Load.”

“Within the first week of operation, I watched an operator try to open the gate when the truck was not in the right position. The Look, Lock 'n Load prevented that and it paid for itself in the first incident. I can’t say enough about them – we’re going to install it on every plant.”
