Transforming Manual Sampling with 3D Vision
In large-scale grain and feed processing plants, truck sampling automation has become essential for improving accuracy, efficiency, and safety. Traditionally, quality inspection relies on manual sampling, where each truck must be inspected within seven minutes. However, manual measurement of truck profiles is prone to errors—affected by lighting, uneven ground, and operator judgment—resulting in delays and inconsistent data.
Vi LiDAR Technology addresses these challenges by introducing a 3D vision–based truck profile measurement system, enabling truly automated truck sampling across different vehicle types and loading conditions.
Intelligent 3D Vision System for Truck Sampling Automation
Vi LiDAR’s system integrates dual 3D LiDAR sensors and AI-driven algorithms to deliver precise, real-time data for truck body and material volume measurement.
- 3D Truck Profile Measurement
Using high-frequency laser scanning, the system reconstructs the truck’s full 3D contour—including sideboards, bottom height, and load surface—ensuring complete coverage without blind spots. - Dual-LiDAR Architecture
Two LiDAR units are mounted longitudinally to capture the entire truck length (up to 18 meters) with millimeter-level accuracy, enabling automated calculation of sampling positions and material volume. - Side Calibration for Height Accuracy
A lateral LiDAR continuously calibrates side and base heights, maintaining precise measurements even in dusty or uneven environments. - Smart Vehicle Recognition
Deep learning enables automatic detection of truck types and internal configurations, ensuring reliable data for volume analysis and quality inspection.
Key Advantages of Vi LiDAR’s Automated Truck Sampling Solution
- High-Precision Spatial Digitization
The system synchronizes two LiDAR units to build a complete 3D digital model of the truck bed, generating accurate parameters for automated sampling and inspection. - All-in-One Design for Rapid Deployment
The compact integration of sensors and processors reduces installation complexity and hardware costs while completing data acquisition and analysis within minutes. - Adaptability to Fully Loaded Trucks
The side-mounted LiDAR eliminates height blind spots and ensures stable performance across different materials and reflectivity conditions.
