Truck Counter – Automatically Count and Document
The truck counter automatically counts agricultural truck loads via GPS. Designed for contractors, farmers, and drivers of spreading and harvesting vehicles.
Here's how it works:
1. Add vehicle (slurry tanker, forage wagon, forage harvester, etc.)
2. At the loading or unloading point, press "Start Operation"
3. Confirm the loading zone on the satellite map and set the radius
4. The app will now count automatically – even when the screen is locked. Each time a truck leaves the loading zone (spreading) or enters the unloading zone (harvesting), it is counted. An audible and haptic signal confirms each count.
Features:
• Automatic GPS counting with adjustable geofence radius (30–150 m)
• Satellite map preview when setting the loading/unloading zone
• Fine-tuning of the zone by moving the map
• Two operating modes: spreading (EXIT counts) and harvesting (ENTER counts)
• Live map with driver position and geofence circle
• Adaptive GPS: Precision mode near the zone, power-saving mode on the road
• Audible feedback: Loud tone when counting, subtle tone when changing zones
• Notification on the lock screen for each counted load
• PDF operation documentation with QR codes for each entry/exit
• Vehicle management with photo, make, model, and license plate number
• Manage farms and fields/plots
• Daily operation overview with PDF export and sharing function
• Plausibility check at the end of the operation
• Diagnostics tab with live distance display and GPS log
Reliable in the field:
• Works Even without an internet connection (offline capable)
• Watchdog system automatically restarts GPS in case of failure
• Counting continues reliably in the background
• Automatic resumption after device restart
• GPS jump protection prevents miscounts
• Hysteresis band prevents multiple counts at zone boundaries
Data privacy:
• No user account required
• All location data is stored exclusively locally on the device
• No location data is transmitted to servers
• Location permission can be revoked at any time in the device settings
Note regarding location access:
The app requires the "Always Allow" permission for location access so that automatic load counting functions reliably even when the screen is off. A permanently visible foreground service indicates that counting is active.
