Volumetric load scanners are designed to measure load volumes in real-time for trucks in motion. The ability and effectiveness of these load scanners to offer automated volume calculations for loaded trucks make them an ideal solution for the mining industry.
Volumetric load scanners provide an affordable advantage over expensive truck weighing systems.Some of the features that make load scanners ideal for the mining industry include in-motion load scanning ability, easy setup platforms, and low maintenance.
Here’s how truck volumetric scanners are revolutionising load measurement accuracy in the mining industry:
System Functionality
Volumetric scanning systems offer operators and managers in the mining industry with real-time load volumes for moving trucks. They calculate the load volume accurately and convert to a weightfor the truck loadby deducting the mass ofthe empty vehicle that is already in the system. The system then provides reporting along with load images for every truck,which allows easy management and control of the loadedvehicles.
Advanced System Components
The basic system of volumetric scanners consists of a laptop or PC, 3D laser scanners, and mounting hardware.Volumetric load scanners are designed specifically for the mining industry to solve the logistics problems associated with large numbers of truck movements and choke points around weighbridges.
Effective Management Software
Volumetric load scanners are powered by an advanced operating system that provides real-time data to managers and operators. The load management software is designed with highly advanced management tools that enable mining companies to easily, accurately and effectively manage individual truck loads and overall fleet movements and logistics, without impeding haul efficiency.
3D Load Images
The software used with volumetric load scanners is capable of producing high-quality 3D images of each and every truck load,providing additional benefits for managers and operators to coordinate efficient fleet management and movements. These images can help managers to monitor spillage, load position, carryback and material compaction.
Customised Reporting
Volumetric load scannersare customisable. If you have specific reporting needs, you can customise the system as required. The load scanner also allows you to manage load tickets once they are generated. You can use a volumetric load scanner to print and email the ticket,or easily upload them to the cloud.
Easy System Automation
Volumetric load scanners can readily be integrated with video vehicle recognition systems or RFID so that you can easily automate the scanner. By using the automation tools, the load scanner becomes suitable for crewless operations.
Volumetric load scanners haveaddeda new dimension to the process of load management in the mining industry.They are the perfect solution for accurate volume measurement and weight conversion for any material loaded on to a truck in bulk.
Volumetric load scanners havea proven record of accuracy, reliability, and exceptional performance under any environmental conditions.They are aninvaluable tool in mining operations to monitor and manage truck loads. The productivity of the mining industry is all about moving maximum material as efficiently as possible,a task made that much easier with volumetric load scanners.
