Solution architecture

Choose the right inventory monitoring architecture by storage geometry.

The decision helper maps common industrial storage problems to the right sensing method, integration scope, and project documentation path. Final selection should be confirmed by drawings, material behavior, site requirements, and operating conditions.

Fast selection guide for procurement and engineering teams

Start with the storage shape and risk profile. Then confirm measurement accuracy, installation limits, site requirements, and data interface requirements.

Legged powder silo candidate for Volivue patch-mount retrofit weighing

Legged powder silo

Need retrofit inventory without cutting roof openings, especially when height access is risky or production stoppage is expensive.

Patch-mount weighing system
Closed solid silo with dusty filling suited to Volivue 80GHz radar level

Closed solid silo or bunker

Need non-contact distance measurement in dust, powder, pellets, or granular solids with narrow beam planning.

80GHz radar level system
Industrial liquid tank and process vessel monitored by Volivue level instruments

Liquid tank or process vessel

Need level, alarm, or interface monitoring for water, wastewater, chemicals, oils, or process liquids.

Ultrasonic / radar liquid level
Vapor and foam over a demanding liquid duty solved with Volivue radar level

Radar level for demanding liquids

Choose radar when steam, foam, corrosion, high temperature, pressure, or hazardous-area conditions make ultrasonic level unreliable.

Radar liquid level transmitter
Clean water tank measured by a cost-effective Volivue ultrasonic level sensor

Ultrasonic level for clean tanks

Choose ultrasonic for clean, non-pressurized, cost-sensitive water and wastewater tanks where conditions are simple.

Ultrasonic liquid level sensor
Open bulk stockpile mapped by Volivue 3D LiDAR volume scanning

Open stockpile or warehouse

Need 3D surface mapping, volume calculation, pile change tracking, and safer inventory reconciliation.

3D LiDAR stockpile inventory
Control room monitoring multiple sites on the Volivue unified inventory platform

Multi-site operation

Need one inventory view across plants, material yards, and warehouses with alarms and reporting.

Solid silos

Powder, pellet, and granular inventory

  • Use 80GHz radar when a top-mounted non-contact measurement is practical.
  • Use patch-mount weighing when roof access, nozzles, or internal obstructions make top-mounted instruments difficult.
  • Combine sensor data with reorder thresholds, delivery reconciliation, and low-stock alarms.

Two retrofit-friendly paths for powder, pellet, and granular silos.
Liquid tanks

Level, alarm, and process visibility

  • Use ultrasonic level for simple water and wastewater applications with suitable vapor, foam, and range conditions.
  • Use radar level for demanding liquids, vapor, temperature, pressure, or condensation challenges.
  • Confirm material compatibility, mounting position, dead zone, and communication output before quotation.

Ultrasonic for simple duties, radar for vapor, foam, and pressure.
Stockpiles

3D scanning for open yards and enclosed warehouses

For coal, ore, aggregate, biomass, clinker, and other irregular piles, 3D LiDAR provides surface topology and volume calculation that a single point sensor cannot provide.

Full-surface scanning where a single point sensor cannot represent the pile.
  1. 01

    Safer inventory checks

    Reduce manual climbing, drone-only dependency, and repeated field measurement in dusty or moving-equipment areas.

  2. 02

    Better reconciliation

    Compare stockpile change with belt scale, truck dispatch, and ERP inventory records.

  3. 03

    Operational visibility

    Track pile growth, reclaim zones, abnormal movement, and stock aging from one dashboard.

Turn storage uncertainty into a clear measurement architecture.

Share storage drawings, target accuracy, material behavior, country, and integration requirements. The engineering review will map the right sensor family and data path.
