The FOWIM technology from Fosina is the state-of-the-art WIM (Weight-In-Motion) system globally where the transducer is only sensing with optical fiber (completely passive with no electronics) and allow to collect and process axle weight from overloaded truck in real time with no impact on traffic flow. The system has been designed in such a way that can be upgraded over time if additional features such as tyre pressure is required.

Single Platform
On-board I/Os are used to communicate with the transducer which is monitoring overloaded trucks and data processed and stream to Security Center to visualize alarms via a web-based interface designed by FOSINA
ALPR
The FOSINA Automatic License Plate Recognition system presents the following features:
- On-board ALPR processing ensures high-performance, scalability, and ultra low reading latency.
- Varifocal lenses ease specification and design
- Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) enabled to simplify deployment
- IP67-rated enclosure allows for operation in extreme weather conditions and harsh environments
- Read license plates
- Dual lane feature available
Low Power
Each FOWIM sensor consists of an optical transducer along with an associated data acquisition hardware, embedded PC, 3G/LTE modem, and ALPR system. The full sensor operates on less than 100W, enabling it to be powered from harvested energy supplies.
Edge Processing
With processing on-board, the FOWIM solution brings intelligence to the edge of the system with ultra low reading latency. Since only plate read data needs to be transferred over the network, this means decreased data load on the network and server as all the image processing and analysis is done in the unit.
Transducer
The design of our transducer is taking into account three key elements that makes it unique:
- Designed to maintain mechanical properties and resist over time without losing its elastic properties.
- Designed to have the best mechanical transfer function between the transducer and the fiber optic itself.
- Designed to allow ease of implementation and commissioning
Small Footprint
FOWIM acquisition system is contained within a ruggedized enclosure which is easy to transport and once installed has a small footprint.
Ruggedized
FOSINA is partnering with an experienced company that is used to design enclosures for deploying equipment in harsh environment along highways. A customized modelling for heat dissipation is completed to fit country weather.
