Customer Pain Points

Still Climbing Stockpiles to Measure?

Stockpile volume measurement — from climbing & total-station to one LiDAR scan

Safety Risk

Portable offline LiDAR still needs manual operation, with high measurement error and poor timeliness, and dusty environments endanger personnel health

Accuracy

Manual inventory is labor-intensive and inaccurate, failing to meet refined production and cost-accounting requirements; Materials are stored in many forms, so large warehouses need different scanning approaches per scenario, making modeling difficult; Segmented deployments run as isolated systems, forming information silos that prevent real-time, site-wide stock visibility

Efficiency

Long manual inventory cycles fail to catch stock anomalies and loading deviations in time

Financial Impact

Inventory records are inconvenient for reconciliation

With Neuvition
  • 1. 360° rotating 3D laser scanning captures complete stockyard point clouds at high speed
  • 2. Contactless automatic measurement needs no manual intervention and withstands harsh industrial environments such as dust
  • 3. Material zone management automatically computes volume and weight per sub-zone
  • 4. Multi-sensor registration: each LiDAR application unit connects up to 8 LiDARs for seamless stitching across large warehouses; each core unit supports up to 5 application units; each application server supports up to 600 LiDARs for large-scale networking
  • 5. Distributed core-unit design gives each silo its own configuration, spreading failure risk for high system stability
  • 6. Scheduled auto-inventory plans, historical report query/export and HTTP remote access
  • 7. Object recognition automatically filters moving objects such as people and construction machinery to ensure measurement accuracy.
Scenarios

Three Scenarios Covering Every Bulk Storage Form

Warehouse/sheds, silos, overhead cranes — click a card for installation, specs and cases

Warehouse & Sheds Stockpile Volume Measurement

3D LiDAR scanners are deployed at suitable positions around the stockpile area, rotating 180° vertically and 360° horizontally to capture real-time 3D point clouds of the pile. Combined with material density data and processed by professional stockpile-management software, the system accurately computes the volume and weight of each zone and generates threshold alarms. It supports multi-sensor registration and stitching, material zone management, scheduled auto-inventory, self-diagnostics and HTTP remote access, delivering visualized, digital and intelligent warehouse material management.

View Scenario

Silo Level & Volume Measurement

How much material is actually inside a silo or grain bin is invisible. A LiDAR mounted at the top scans down without touching the material and outputs level height and volume in real time (the NEU-3D-M360-50D datasheet specifies grain warehouse volume measurement and level identification).

View Scenario

Overhead Crane Automation

Under an overhead crane, the pile keeps changing. LiDAR monitors the pile/bunker state without touching it, coordinating with crane automation for stable measurement under dynamic operation (specific adaptation parameters pending product department confirmation).

FAQ

FAQ

Can the system handle harsh environments such as dust and rain?
Contactless automatic measurement needs no manual intervention and withstands harsh industrial environments such as dust; the equipment is IP67-rated, and behavior under specific conditions is subject to the final technical specification.
How large a warehouse can one LiDAR cover?
A single scanner offers 150m@10% reflectance range with a 360°×180° field of view, and multi-sensor registration (up to 8 LiDARs per application unit) enables seamless coverage of large warehouses; the exact coverage must be determined by site survey based on warehouse size, structure and material stacking.
What is the measurement accuracy?
Contactless 3D laser scanning; specific scan time and accuracy figures are subject to the final technical specification and unconfirmed parameters are not promised.
How are different material zones distinguished and computed separately?
The system supports material zone management and automatically computes volume and weight for each sub-zone.
Can it connect to existing ERP/WMS/weighbridge systems?
HTTP remote access and external interface services are supported for upper-level systems; specific protocols are subject to the technical specification.
How long does installation and commissioning take?
It depends on on-site conditions (size, structure, stacking); a site survey is required, so please consult our sales and technical team.
Do personnel and construction machinery on site affect accuracy?
Object recognition automatically filters moving objects such as people and construction machinery to ensure measurement accuracy.
Which export formats and reports are supported?
Scheduled auto-inventory plans and historical report query/export are supported; specific formats are subject to the technical specification.
If a device fails, are other silos affected?
The distributed core-unit design gives each silo its own configuration and spreads failure risk, so a single fault does not affect other silos and overall stability is high.
