Quarry truck counting and load verification

Know how many loads went into every truck and when, with a photo of each, on your existing cameras or ones fitted for the job.

Updated October 2026

Quarry truck counting uses AI cameras to record trucks and loader cycles at New Zealand sites, with a timestamped image for each load. It runs on site, using existing cameras where suitable, and provides load verification for weighbridge reconciliation.

  • A count that doesn’t rely on the operator
  • Truck body and trailer counted separately
  • A photo and time for every load
  • Digital dockets and reports
  • Offline edge operation at remote sites
The problem

Hand counts are easy to get wrong

The tally is often kept by the loader operator, on top of everything else they’re doing.

01

Missed counts

Counts slip when trucks queue up and the operator is busy.

02

Paper dockets

Lost, wet or unreadable when a customer questions a load.

03

Weight alone

The weighbridge shows weight, but not how many loads went in or when.

Truck visit

Follow one truck from gate to docket

Truck 3 · truck and trailer · Loading pad 1 Illustrative example
  1. Arrives Logged in at the gate.
  2. On the pad Loading begins and the truck’s record opens.
  3. Loads 1–7 Into the truck body, each saved with a photo.
  4. Loads 8–11 Into the trailer, counted separately.
  5. Weighbridge Weight checked against the load count.
  6. Departs Docket done: 11 loads, 32 minutes on site.
One truck’s visit, with a time and photo for every load. Illustrative example; you choose what goes on the docket.

Cyan is what the AI sees; amber is what your team gets. You choose the docket fields and report format.
  1. 01

    Check the cameras

    We confirm your cameras have a clear view of the loader and the truck, and supply or reposition cameras by arrangement where needed.

  2. 02

    Learn your site

    It learns your trucks, your loaders and what counts as a load, agreed with your team. Custom AI vision models.

  3. 03

    Validate

    Counts are validated against your records and the weighbridge before go-live.

  4. 04

    Records and reports

    A live count, a docket for every truck and regular reports, all stored on site.

Sample report

See every truck and load at a glance

Each truck is listed with its loads, times and photos, and you choose what goes in the report.

Count every truck, whoever owns it

GPS needs a device in every truck, and contractor trucks often don’t have one. Cameras count every vehicle that comes through, from any fleet, with a photo of each; some sites use both. Automated truck counting: GPS vs cameras.

Built for dust, glare and remote sites

Dust, rain, glare and low light at shift change are part of training, though cameras in dusty spots need regular cleaning. Offline edge deployment keeps counting running at quarries, mines and other remote sites, with no dependence on external connectivity. Cloud and hybrid deployments are available where remote access and multi-site reporting matter. Edge AI vs cloud AI.

Your records stay on site

Footage and records stay on site unless you export them. Cameras are aimed at trucks and loads, not people, and workplace-surveillance rules are considered in the design (general information, not legal advice).

Conveyors and crusher feed

Cameras can also watch conveyors and the crusher feed. Existing cameras with a clear view can flag spillage and blocked chutes. Suitable cameras can also flag oversize rock at the feed, large foreign objects and visible belt damage. Each alert is saved with its image. The same system can cover the gate and yard too: vehicle and site monitoring.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does quarry truck and load counting work?
Cameras count trucks at the gate and loader cycles at the loading pad. Each load into the truck body and trailer is counted separately with a timestamped image, and a digital docket is written when the truck leaves.
Can we use our existing cameras?
Yes, where they’re suitable. We integrate with existing cameras that have a clear view of the loading pad, or supply cameras specified for the job, installed by arrangement. Adding AI to existing cameras.
How does load verification help with weighbridge reconciliation?
The cameras record how many loads went into each truck and when, with an image for each load. These records support weighbridge reconciliation; they do not measure weight or replace the weighbridge. How load verification works.
What happens if a customer disputes a load?
Open that truck’s record to see every load with its time and image, and share it with the customer.
Can the same cameras watch for safety too?
Yes. The same cameras can watch exclusion zones around crushers, conveyors and heavy plant. Vehicle and site monitoring.
