Load Scanner Applications Go Beyond Truck Bed Scanning

Load Scanner volumetric scanning technology can be adapted for many load measurement and production tracking applications. While the Load Scanner is most popular for scanning truck bed loads to determine the volume and weight of those loads, the same laser scanning volumetric technology is being used for other scanning applications, such as conveyors, rail cars, and stockpile analysis.

Some of the industries that derive value from the Load Scanner system include the biomass and mulch industries, mining, farming and agriculture, public works, aggregate producers, waste haulers, and more. The biomass and mulch industries, who are often dealing with a light weight product that varies in volume, see a lot of value in the Belt Scanner. This scanner utilizes the laser scanning, time-of-flight technology to accurately measure volume flow on conveyor belts. The Belt Scanner System works extremely well and is simple to use and operate for biomass and mulch applications. The maintenance costs are very minimal and installation time is significantly reduced.

Large mining operating sites rely on the Load Scanner volumetric measurement technology for monitoring and analyzing the loads and productivity of their haul trucks. This helps these industries to improve their productivity and reduce operational costs. Many mining operations utilize the volume load scanner technology to minimize their operating costs while also gaining significant productivity insight that directly relates to improvements in overall mine production.

Public works facilities use the Load Scanner for the improvement of salt stockpile inventory management. The Load Scanner volumetric scanning technology is being used across many public works operations to help provide real-time stockpile management along with the identification of individual load totals per truck. This technology has proven to be extremely beneficial for public works operations.
