We’re excited to announce the Fastweigh MCP server, a new way to work with your Fastweigh data from the AI assistant you already use. If you have ever known the answer was somewhere in Fastweigh but didn’t have time to look for it, Fastweigh MCP is designed for that. It gives you a direct way to ask questions, explore your data, prepare supported changes, and get work done without interrupting what you are already doing.

Connect Fastweigh to your choice of AI assistant, including Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot. Open your assistant as usual, ask a question in plain language, and have it retrieve the relevant Fastweigh records available to you. With the right access, you can also prepare supported changes there and approve them before they are saved.

We’re excited to see how customers use this powerful new tool in their day-to-day work. See how it works:

Some of our Fastweigh team is together in Knoxville this week getting an early look at some major advancements we’re working on for the platform. It’s exciting to see that work taking shape and think about how it will help our customers run their bulk material operations.

We’re proud of the team behind Fastweigh and can’t wait to share more of what they’ve been building. It’s getting hard to keep it all under wraps! For now, here are a few photos from today’s meeting of the minds.

At a multi-plant operation, a scale ticket has work to do after it prints. Billing needs it. Managers need it for reporting. Someone may need it later to answer a customer’s question.

If you’re evaluating scale software, follow a few recent tickets through those steps. Where did someone enter a detail twice, check a price by hand, or assemble information from several locations? Those small tasks are part of what the current system costs, even when trucks are moving and tickets are printing.

Our new article looks at how to weigh the cost of keeping a familiar system alongside the cost of replacing it: https://www.fastweigh.com/blog/the-enterprise-cost-of-disconnected-scale-software

The cost of a scale system includes what happens to a ticket after it prints.

The Fastweigh team spent the last few days at National Asphalt Pavement Association's 2026 IMPACT Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C.

Featured guest speaker Congressman James Walkinshaw shared a thoughtful perspective on finding joy in your work, debating ideas without losing respect for the person across the table, and earning trust through consistent work and clear boundaries.

The policy conversation was just as relevant. With surface transportation reauthorization ahead, NAPA is keeping attention on the public investment behind road and bridge work across the country. For Fastweigh, staying close to these conversations helps us better understand the larger forces shaping the asphalt producers and contractors we serve.

Thanks to NAPA for another excellent event!

Last week, members of the Fastweigh team spent time with our customer Sherwood Companies talking through accounts receivable workflows and the day-to-day work surrounding them. Seeing those processes firsthand gave our team valuable direction as we plan where Fastweigh’s AR tools should go next.

Customer visits are critical to the way Fastweigh grows and evolves as a platform. They help us understand how information moves between people and what would make the process smarter, more seamless, and easier to manage.

Thank you to everyone at Sherwood who took the time to walk us through their operation and share their feedback!

Fastweigh is heading to Washington, D.C. for National Asphalt Pavement Association’s 2026 IMPACT Leadership Conference, September 23–24.

We’re looking forward to meeting emerging leaders from across the asphalt industry, hearing what’s ahead for their teams, and spending time with the people helping shape where the industry goes next.

Will you be at IMPACT? Let us know. We’d be glad to connect while we’re in D.C.

“Self-learning” is getting a lot of attention in plant automation. For Fastweigh customers, it has been part of asphalt silo loadout since we released the module in 2024.

Fastweigh uses previous drop results to refine when the gate should begin closing, accounting for material that continues falling after the close command. Our newer optional Pulse Mode adds finer control by using recent product-specific history to calculate short gate-open times near the end of a load.

It is practical, history-based control built into the same workflow that connects the truck, order, target weight, loadout, and final ticket.

At a waste or recycling facility, weighing the truck is only part of the job. Scale operators need to know who brought the load, what material is coming in, whether the site can accept it, what it weighs, what to charge, and where to send the driver next. Commercial haulers and public customers can all be moving through the same entrance, so these decisions have to happen at a rapid pace under pressure.

For repeat traffic, Fastweigh can recognize a truck instantly with license plate recognition, RFID, or an ID card, pulling up the right ticketing info every time. Drivers can check in at unattended kiosks in just a few taps while Fastweigh connects with scales, printers, cameras, and traffic controls. Once a truck leaves, the ticket is already available in the back office for inventory tracking, reporting, billing, and more.

That takes a surprising amount of routine work off the scale operator’s desk while keeping them in control.

Anyone who works around asphalt loadout knows that getting close to the target weight is one thing. Consistently landing that final small drop can be the difficult part.

Fastweigh’s asphalt silo loadout tools keep the order, truck information, target weight, loadout controls, and ticketing within the same process. Our new small-drop Pulse Mode can also use recent drop history to estimate flow rate and pulse the gate more precisely when only a small amount of material is left to load.

That gives operators less guesswork near the end of the load while keeping trucks and tickets moving through the plant.

We enjoyed joining asphalt industry leaders in Columbus for the 2026 National Asphalt Pavement Association Midyear Meeting. Technology adoption was a major part of the conversation, with plenty of thoughtful discussion about how producers are introducing new tools into their operations and preparing their teams for continued change.

For Fastweigh, those conversations are always valuable. Understanding how technology is actually being evaluated and used in the field helps us stay focused on building practical solutions for the people running asphalt operations every day.

One of the highlights was spending some quality time with our customer Bituminous Roadways, Inc. We appreciate their partnership and were glad to have the opportunity to catch up in person.

Thank you to NAPA and everyone who contributed this event!
