Limitations of Traditional Single-Point Systems
Conventional level measurement uses single-point sensing. It assumes the material’s surface is even. However, bulk solids often form uneven surfaces such as cones, craters, and slumps. This leads to significant inventory errors.
Millimeter-wave radar: Real-Time Spatial Mapping
The RETTAR 3DPro2300 Radar Scanner leveraging its highfrequency millimeter-wave radar technology, operates stably even under heavy dust coverage.This scanner has a precision mechanical drive. It rotates 360° horizontally and moves ±90° vertically. This feature offers more flexibility than single-point sensors.
Advanced Scanning Features: The system comprehensively scans the interior topography to generate a high-density point cloud, achieving a complete 3D volumetric reconstruction of the material surface in less than 30 seconds. This ensures the data accurately reflects the real-time inventory state. Our 3DPro series works with standard industrial protocols. This includes Modbus TCP/IP, 4-20 mA, OPC UA, WEP API, and MQTT. This allows for easy integration.
Reliability in Harsh Environments
Traditional radar level gauges often prove unreliable when subjected to severe environmental challenges. The RETTAR 3D Radar Scanner ensures uninterrupted operation, functioning seamlessly with up to 1 cm of dust accumulation on the sensor lens. Engineered for maximum uptime, it incorporates dual redundant power supplies and dual Ethernet ports to mitigate data loss from single-path infrastructure failures. Housed in an IP68-rated dust and waterproof enclosure. Our instruments have full ATEX and IECEx certification. This guarantees they meet European and international safety standards.
Precision Metrics and Multi-Unit Synchronization
With millimeter-level measurements, the system delivers inventory accuracy at 0.5–2% FS volumetric modeling precision.It can output key metrics such as max level, min level, and average level alongside real-time volume and mass calculations.
You can sync multiple sensors in large storage areas where one might block another’s view. The Stitching and Registration Algorithm combines data from multiple sensors. This creates a clear 3D view and eliminates blind spots.
Remote Visualization and Lifecycle Management
The hardware works with the Pro Inventory Management System. It sends data from the silo to the control room or mobile devices. This ensures zero-climb safety for site personnel and a transparent audit trail for financial reporting.
