OWL EYE  ·  One system. Every volume.

Digitalising your yard.

OWL EYE® is the industrial LiDAR platform for digitalising bulk-material measurement. It captures volume, mass and load height — contactless, in real time, on stockpiles, conveyor belts, in bunkers, at truck terminals and mobile on wheel loaders.

Engineered and hardened inside an active mining operation of the Sachtleben Minerals Group — what works for us, holds up 24/7 for you. OWL EYE® is operated and supported by Sachtleben Technology GmbH (Germany) with regional partners across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Australia. See our joint webcast with Axians IAS for the integration story end-to-end: From inventory data to control.

From real-time LiDAR stockpile monitoring to conveyor belt measurement and bulk volume inventory — OWL EYE® delivers the data continuously, with no downtime. Not sure which measuring method fits? Our guide compares all 6 methods of stockpile volume measurement and bulk volume measurement.

„Modern. Digital. Precise. — three promises OWL EYE® delivers on every bulk material."

Deployed at K+S, Aurubis, Nordzucker, proFagus, Egger, thyssenkrupp and 40+ other industrial partners.

❄️ −22 °C, full snow load, midnight shift — and OWL EYE® keeps measuring belt-flow volume with ±1% accuracy. That's why we hardened the system inside our own mining operation, not in a lab. Robustness isn't a feature, it's the floor. 💪
