CAM-386
A loaded truck slipping past the weighbridge
Early morning at the quarry control point. There is a queue in the left lane: a truck is stopped on the weighbridge and the barrier is still down. On the right, a truck loaded with boulders leaves through the lane painted as an unauthorised area, past the no-entry sign. Two workers watch it go by from the verge. IRIS sees a loaded vehicle leaving the site without having passed the registration point.

What this camera measures
An alert says something is happening. The reading says how much.
- 2 minTime since it passed the weighbridge
- 14Trucks weighed in the last hour
- 3Unweighed exits counted today
- 5Trucks waiting in the queue
- 09:20Time of the pass

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a loaded vehicle leaves the site without crossing the weighing point
Then
- alert the quarry manager with the camera, the time and the plate
- save the video from the moment the truck enters the unauthorised lane
- add the trip to the day’s count so it can be reconciled with the weighbridge
The instruction that set it up«Tell me when a loaded truck leaves the quarry without crossing the weighbridge, and keep the plate for me.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
The gap between what leaves and what was weighed shows up weeks later, in the stock count, when nobody remembers that Tuesday. With the camera, the quarry manager has the time of the pass, the plate that was read and the video of the truck leaving where it should not. It stops being a difference on a spreadsheet and becomes one specific trip, with footage. And trips can be counted every day, not once a year.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS know how much the load weighs?
No. The weighbridge gives the weight, and that is what it is for. What IRIS does is count the trips that leave and compare them with the ones that were weighed. If one more truck goes out than went through the control point, there is an unregistered trip. It is a count, not an estimate: every pass keeps its time and its video, and the gap shows up the same day.
What if a vehicle is allowed to leave that way?
You exclude it and it stops alerting. Who may use that lane is decided by the quarry, not by the camera. The exception is written down —a vehicle type, a time window, a list of plates— and everything else keeps alerting. IRIS does not write the rules: it applies them and keeps a record of every pass, the allowed ones included.
Can it stop the truck?
No. IRIS alerts, it does not act. It does not lower a barrier or stop anyone on its own: it sends the alert with the image to whoever has to decide. If the quarry wants the barrier to close by itself, that is wired to its access control system and a person authorises it. The camera supplies the moment and the proof.

Simulation · how IRIS works
Everything comes in. Only what matters gets through.
This sums up what IRIS does with one alert, from the moment it appears until it is closed. The real screen holds far more; this is the main thread.
- Cameras on the map
- You draw an area
- What passed shows up
Next step
Who sees the sales that never reach the till?
10 cases: 4 raise an alert when something happens and 6 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
Who is watching when the load swings over somebody?
11 cases: 9 raise an alert when something happens and 2 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
And the best part
You decide once what matters to you.It stops depending on who happens to be on shift.
You say it in your own words and it stays written down. Nobody has to remember anything at the start of a shift: what you decided is already in place, and still there tomorrow.
Tell us your problem and we will say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
We reply the same working day.
