Non-contact volumetric scanning system for Train Load Outs

• Real Time volumetric scanning for train wagons
• Quantify actual volume of material moved
• Wagons are scanned 'in-motion', no need to stop the train
• can be integrated with the train loading control system via MODBUS. 
• Calculation of mission critical parameters moments after the wagon leaves the scanning area
• Integrate with weight data for real-time density feedback
• Non Contact measurement using Time of flight LiDAR technology

Software Features

The AutoScan processing software provides near real-time outputs to the industrial network. It features;

• A responsive multithreaded design

• Calculation of production critical parameters in less than 10 seconds
• TCP interface to LiDAR sensors to facilitate operation in a VM environment

Data items delivered to the industrial network include;

• Front Freeboard
• Rear Freeboard
• Side Freeboard
• Laser Status flags for remote maintenance monitoring
• Data Valid flags
• Material Angle of Repose

Data Interface Options

• PLC integration of key loading metrics via MODBUS
• Real-time data delivery to local or remote MS SQL database
