Skip to content Learn how VI LiDAR’s industrial-grade 3D scanning solutions enable accurate and automated stockpile volume measurement. From mining sites to bulk storage yards, our systems deliver precise, real-time point cloud data for inventory management, auditing, and material tracking.
Ⅰ. Project Overview: Digital Transformation of Subterranean Bunkers BYD, a global titan in the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) sector, faced a complex logistical challenge at its lithium storage hub. The facility utilizes massive rectangular subterranean pits: 160.4m long, 42m wide, and 6m deep, with a ceiling height of 20m. A central material conveyor runs through […]
In the daily operation of cement and concrete batching plants, raw material inventory has long been a “black hole” for site managers and financial controllers. Whether it is aggregates, clinker, or mineral powder, the combination of irregular stockpiles, heavy dust, and complex environments makes traditional “tape measurement” or “visual estimation” notoriously inaccurate. These inaccuracies lead
Vi-LiDAR In construction material handling, sand/gravel mining, coal mining, and similar operations, accurately measuring load volumes is a critical task. It not only affects production efficiency and cost control but also directly impacts resource utilization and environmental protection. However, accurate Measure Bulk Material Volumes (e.g., sand, stone, coal) is extremely challenging—traditional methods often suffer from
Vi-LiDAR Recently, we successfully completed the intelligent measurement project at a large coal yard. The core solution integrated 6 CP-L260 lidar scanners with dynamic conveying devices, enabling efficient and precise measurement of multi-form material piles—establishing a technical benchmark for “real – time monitoring and accurate control” in coal storage. Ⅰ. Project Background: Traditional Pains in
Vi-LiDAR LiDAR volume measurement technology is a high-precision 3D spatial measurement technique based on laser ranging principles. It works by emitting laser beams and receiving reflected signals to calculate the distance and azimuth of target objects. Combined with the motion data of the scanning mechanism, it constructs a 3D point cloud model of the measured

A sulfur trading company faced critical safety and efficiency challenges in managing large volumes of sulfur granules. Sulfur dust, fire hazards, and inefficient manual crane operations reduced space utilization and raised compliance risks. VI LiDAR deployed a 3D Stockpile Scanning System, integrating LiDAR scanners with overhead cranes to build real-time 3D models of stockpiles and generate automated stacking and reclaiming strategies. The solution enabled smart navigation, minimized worker exposure to hazards, improved space utilization, reduced labor costs, and ensured compliance with environmental standards. VI LiDAR is helping sulfur enterprises build safer, smarter, and greener warehouses.
