Accurate material management is essential for the mining sector, where efficiency and safety depend on precise inventory control. Benewake ToF sensors are engineered to deliver reliable distance and volume data, making them well-suited for stockpile measurement in demanding industrial environments. These sensors provide stable readings even in dusty or low-visibility conditions, ensuring that mines can monitor material levels continuously without manual intervention.
Intelligent Functions for Reliable Stockpile Management
At the core of the Benewake LiDAR Volume Detection System is its advanced scanning capability, which supports high-precision stockpile measurement. The system uses a Step Grid Scanning Method, where two rotating servos conduct arc scans to produce a detailed 3D point cloud. This enables the visualization of material distribution, helping operators calculate volume with accuracy. The design also allows users to configure parameters such as scanning angle, cone angle, and device self-check timing, offering flexibility for different stockpile shapes and storage conditions.
Wireless Transmission and External Control
To enhance monitoring convenience, the system features a wireless transmission module. Data collected by the Benewake ToF sensors can be transmitted through LoRa to the DTU for transparent communication. This wireless transmission function allows the monitoring center to receive real-time updates on material levels at each measurement point. When an external trigger signal is received, the system performs a scan and outputs the calculated volume value immediately, ensuring that operations can be synchronized with external control systems. This design improves response time and operational automation in industrial mining sites.
Practical Benefits and Industry Applications
Mining operators adopting Benewake ToF sensors for stockpile measurement benefit from reduced manual labor, improved safety, and consistent accuracy across large storage areas. Because the sensors are fixed installations, they maintain stable alignment and minimize measurement error caused by environmental vibration or movement.
Conclusion
Through precise sensing, flexible configuration, and robust data communication, Benewake ToF sensors deliver effective stockpile measurement solutions tailored for the mining industry. Their system’s intelligent scanning and wireless functions help industrial sites transition toward more automated, data-driven operations. As the mining sector continues to adopt smart monitoring technologies, Benewake provides a dependable foundation for sustainable and efficient material management.
