Paragraph doesn't sound right

My friend has sent me this piece of writing he wrote for his work. He isn't very good at English. I know it doesn't sound right but can't put my finger on the correct word for the error. I think it is fine until it gets to the word "which". I just feel the paragraph is confusing. Can anyone put their finger on the correct word for the error he has made?

"All our vehicles are fitted with state of the art on board computing equipment. This allows us to measure and record the weight of each individual container which gives an accurate picture of the actual tonnages coming out of the estate."

You need a comma before 'which', to clarify that it refers not to the word 'container' but to the whole preceding clause about measuring and recording.
