A system designed to be specified, installed and supported around a real vehicle build.
The architecture is visible before you commit to it. One 2-core cable runs the length of the vehicle, and the agreed system modules tap off that cable wherever required.
The vehicle, body, suspension and application determine the sensing and module arrangement for each specification.
Whatever the vehicle, the pattern is the same: one 2-core cable runs its full length, and system modules tap off it wherever the agreed configuration requires them. Only the sensing and module arrangement changes — so every build follows the same repeatable path from specification to commissioning.
Concept architecture · simplified, not a wiring diagram
Begin with the vehicle, suspension and application. Kinishi engineering reviews the sensing arrangement, module configuration and interfaces before the build proceeds.
The physical route begins with one 2-core cable along the vehicle. Modules connect to that route at the positions defined for the agreed configuration.
Three areas shape the first review. Share what is known; Kinishi engineering confirms the final module combination, quantities, positions and physical route for the live vehicle specification.
Record the vehicle’s suspension or sensing arrangement: mechanical or leaf-spring, air or hydraulic, direct measurement, or a mixture.
Describe where weight information is needed: in the Onboard app, on an integrated in-cab display, through connected reporting, or in a combination of these.
Identify any warning lamps or signals, requirement for weight correction when the vehicle is standing at an angle, and separable tractor, trailer or drawbar connections.
Include the vehicle or chassis, body and application, suspension arrangement, driver and reporting requirements, external outputs or trailer connections, and any available drawings.
The system is designed, manufactured and functionally tested by Kinishi in the UK. Electronics manufacture and test happen alongside the engineering team, so what production reveals reaches the people who design the system.
System electronics and cable assemblies are built by Kinishi in the UK, alongside the engineering team responsible for the product.
Every system receives a full functional end-of-line test before despatch.
Components are sourced from manufacturers or franchised distributors. Kinishi does not use grey-market parts.
Connected reporting is an optional extension for applications that need vehicle weight information beyond the cab. The exact reporting and integration requirement is reviewed as part of the application.
