How Wireless OBM Works
Wireless OBM connects three key components to capture, transmit, and display vehicle mass information.
Right Weigh Gauges
Right Weigh gauges measure suspension pressure and calculate vehicle mass information.
V-DAQ TAG
The V-DAQ TAG acts as the communication bridge between the vehicle, installed gauges, and the Wireless OBM platform.
Wireless OBM App
The Wireless OBM App provides access to live weight information, trailer configurations, historical records, and operational insights from a single connected platform.
Together, these components provide real-time visibility of vehicle mass information across your operation.
