Volume measurement of bulk material with LiDAR

Owl Eye System

The Owl Eye system is a system for permanent volume measurement of bulk materials for continuous inventory. High-precision LiDAR sensors are installed in your storage facilities and survey your bulk material in 3D. With our Owl Eye Software, the data can be automatically recorded, evaluated and integrated into your existing ERP or operational data system via common interfaces.

Stockpile Monitoring System

The network of LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) sensors enables high-precision, minute-by-minute time-controlled monitoring of your bulk material inventory according to individual schedules or on demand. With the use of high-end LiDAR sensors, we rely on proven and innovative laser technology, which makes it possible to take into account the smallest details during inventory recording.

Improvement

Guesses and counts lead to an inaccurate inventory evaluation. False estimations are extended from the cradle to the grave. Our fully automated Stockpile Monitoring System helps you to keep continuous track of your inventory.

Owl Eye Studio Software

The multi-sensor capable Owl Eye System watches over the stock in your warehouses like with the eyes of an owl. Use real-time data from various laser sensors or import your own 3D data from external devices. For example, you can use data from a terrestrial laser scanner from an I-Phone or from an aerial photography drone.

Owl Eye Studio is a user-friendly web-based application for automated evaluation of bulk material inventory in combination with a LiDAR network. The software collects sensor data from the entire LiDAR network continuously and consolidates the data. Storage areas as bulk boxes for instance can be selected individually according to their shape and size. Owl Eye Studio independently calculates volumes and tonnages for the selected areas. To run intelligent filters and algorithms individual parameters can be set individually for each selected area. The data is stored in a state-of-the-art database and made available via common APIs.

Supply Chain Management

Safety stock is tied-up capital and causes high storage costs due to required space, inappropriate space layout and multiple handling. Inaccuracies in inventory lead to high capital commitment or outage costs due to under or overstocking. With the Owl Eye System, production, purchasing, and sales decisions are no longer based on guesses, and costly data processing errors are avoided due to digital data transmission between sensor, data processing unit and ERP system. In addition to saving an annual survey, you can optimize general processes based on facts, assign raw material directly to a product, and control the quality of your bulk material and production. The permanent inventory avoids surprises at the year-end closing.
