The Phone-WAY® app allows supported devices to access onboard weight data within a 90-meter radius of any CHEK-WAY® vehicle's in-cabin L.C.D. display. Once installed, the app receives data from the vehicle via a unique Bluetooth connection, providing real-time weight information identical to what is shown on the in-cabin display. If the device moves out of range, it automatically reconnects to the same vehicle without requiring manual intervention. Additionally, the Phone-WAY® app can monitor and download the vehicle’s weight dockets and raw data from the CHEK-WAY® OBM System. These digital records facilitate accurate data analysis for various purposes, including fault detection, minimizing compliance risks, and planning timely repairs to suit your workshop and other commitments.
