Mining, Ports, and Aggregates Bulk Inventory Automation Solutions
Volivue provides fixed 3D LiDAR stockpile volume scanning and 80GHz radar silo level monitoring for iron ore, coal, and non-ferrous mining yards, port bulk terminals, and aggregate plants — supporting full-chain inventory automation from mine pile to batching silo.
Inventory management challenges in mining, ports, and aggregates
Irregular bulk pile volumes are hard to calculate
Ore and aggregate piles change shape continuously with mining, unloading, and loading operations; traditional surveys carry large errors that are hard to reconcile against weigh-bridge tickets.
Large port yards are time-consuming to survey manually
Major terminals have multiple berth zones and storage areas; drone-only or manual measurement cannot deliver the real-time frequency needed for dispatch operations.
Aggregate silo level signals have high interference
Coarse aggregate, large drop heights, and in-silo dust and impact cause conventional level instruments to mis-read, degrading batching accuracy.
Multi-site inventory is hard to manage centrally
Inventory data from mine sites, transfer ports, and distribution depots is fragmented; group ERP cannot get accurate real-time bulk stock figures.
Volivue solution architecture for mining, ports, and aggregates
3D LiDAR stockpile inventory system (open yards and enclosed stores)
Fixed scanners mount on yard structures or warehouse trusses, scanning ore and aggregate piles continuously to produce 3D point cloud volume reports that push to port or mine ERP via API.
