Silo Measurement
Silo measurement is a key link in grain storage, building materials production and logistics supply chain management. Traditional measurement methods (such as manual sampling and weighing, mechanical level meters) face significant technical challenges in silo applications.
With the development of 3D laser scanning technology, mobile SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology has become an innovative solution for silo measurement due to its fast, high-precision and non-contact characteristics.
This technology can quickly obtain 3D point cloud data of piles through the integration of laser radar and SLAM algorithm, and realize volume calculation, dynamic monitoring and digital management with professional software, significantly improving the level of intelligence in the industry.
Industry Pain Points
Inefficiency
Traditional single-point measurement requires manual point-by-point collection, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially for large-area piles where the operation cycle is lengthy.
Insufficient Accuracy
Single-point measurement is easily affected by the slope of the silo pile surface and obstructions, resulting in large data errors and easily leading to measurement disputes.
Poor Environmental Adaptability
Traditional equipment has difficulty in coping with complex working conditions such as dust in the silo and drastic changes in temperature and humidity.
Data Is Single
It can only provide 2D data and cannot meet advanced requirements such as 3D modeling and dynamic analysis.
Advantages
-
Efficient and Accurate
The single-point acquisition efficiency is increased by 5-10 times, the scanning speed reaches 320,000-640,000 points/second, and large-scale silo pile data acquisition can be completed within 10 minutes.
-
