3D Smart Laser System for Yard
Outdoor yards and enclosed domes can hold substantial quantities of bulk material, but irregular piles make conventional inventory estimation difficult. Yard management solutions based on 3D scanning can capture the shape and distribution of stored material across large areas. RETTAR’s 3DPro2501 laser scanner is designed for rapid large-area scanning and can scan yards and domes in a short period, with the company stating that some applications can be completed in as little as three minutes. The resulting 3D information can be used to calculate inventory and monitor different storage zones. This creates a repeatable method for tracking changes as material is received, moved, or consumed. For facilities managing coal, minerals, aggregates, grain, or other bulk solids, dome inventory monitoring can provide a clearer picture of physical stock than periodic manual estimates.
