Large Stockpile Volume Measurement.

See Every Pile. Measure Every Volume.

Overview

Large stockpiles of coal, salt, gravel, sand, ore, and aggregates are critical to mining, ports, construction, and material-handling operations. Accurate volume measurement is essential for inventory management, production planning, material reconciliation, and commercial reporting. However, irregular pile geometry, large coverage areas, and difficult-to-access surfaces can make conventional surveying slow, labour intensive, and difficult to repeat. For mining, quarrying, logistics, and construction operations, inaccurate measurements can lead to billing discrepancies, inventory errors, and operational costs. LiDAR-based 3D measurement provides a faster and more reliable way to capture cargo volume and support efficient material management.

LiDAR-based stockpile volume measurement captures detailed 3D surface data to reconstruct the complete geometry of stockpiles and calculate their volumes. Flexible deployment using fixed or multi-sensor configurations enables faster, repeatable measurements while reducing manual effort and the need for personnel to access unstable or hazardous stockpile surfaces. The captured point clouds support detailed surface reconstruction, allowing irregular shapes, slopes, and variations in pile geometry to be represented in a 3D model. Automated processing streamlines volume calculation and generates structured measurement data for inventory tracking, material reconciliation, and operational reporting. For larger stockyards and complex sites, scalable sensor configurations help extend coverage and maintain consistent measurement workflows across multiple stockpiles.

Visualising Cargo in 3D

LiDAR scans capture detailed 3D images of trucks and their cargo. These scans show the shape and height of the loaded material from different angles. The system uses this data to calculate cargo volume and measure each load. This helps improve measurement accuracy and track bulk materials more efficiently.
