Industries

Volume Monitoring can streamline supply chains in the Waste Recycling industry

Continuously determine waste situations in bunkers in real-time and with high accuracy – Blickfeld’s digital solution enables efficient waste disposition and economical plant operation. The 3D volume data not only improves the utilization of materials recovery facilities but also provides the accounting and logistics departments with a reliable source of data to more easily comply with material storage regulations. With on-demand data access, waste companies can better forecast resources and leverage more storage capacity. This not only helps to plan the throughput of material better but also optimize internal logistics processes across sites.

Agriculture

Just a small number of sensors can bring you a big advantage: Strategically placed in your storage depot, they continually monitor the amount of material like animal feed or fertilizer, even in remote warehouses. Never run out – always be on top of the ordering process!

The solution also supports you in ensuring your product is stored in the best possible way and enables yield monitoring while harvesting on the field.

Applications

Volume monitoring with the Blickfeld LiDAR solution enables a host of applications.

Stockpile Volume Monitoring

Accurate and precise stockpile measurement is essential for on-time planning, manufacturing, and delivery in various industries. With Blickfeld’s stockpile monitoring solution, volumes can be continuously monitored in real-time, enabling digital management of inventories and triggering supply chain processes across multiple locations.

Silo Volume Monitoring

Accurate level sensing, e.g., suitable for silo applications, ensures that companies are always aware of the exact amounts of available material. This accurate overview enables better stock management, forecasting of resources as well as efficient trading of materials influencing overall supply chain and material distribution management.

Volume Monitoring for Pallet Dimensioning

Real-time volume dimensioning of pallets digitizes organizations, making cargo-handling processes, warehousing, and inventory management smarter and more efficient. This automation of manual processes prevents human failure and, at the same time, ensures smooth logistics planning to leverage more storage capacity and improve overall warehouse productivity.

Blickfeld Dashboard for Volume Monitoring

Blickfeld’s Stockpile Volume Monitoring solution offers a customized dashboard that displays volume data in a user-friendly way. Customers can access this data anytime, anywhere, and from any device, enabling them to monitor their stockpile volume 24/7. The web-based dashboard also allows for the simultaneous monitoring of multiple bunkers and sites, providing overall transparency. With volume data tracked minutely, hourly, daily, and monthly, customers can analyze and optimize their material inventories over the long term. The solution also features alarm functions that automatically trigger supply chain processes, such as restocking, when stock levels run low, contributing to better resource planning in the long run.
