Bulk material inventory

Terrestrial Laser Scanning

Terrestrial laser scanning is an efficient and highly precise surveying technique for the three-dimensional acquisition of any environment. This technology is used among others in mining, raw material processing, construction or rapid prototyping to generate detailed surface and terrain models.

The 3D laser scanner with a range of 1,200 meters and a distance accuracy of 8 millimeters is positioned in various locations to cover the object/ environment of interest. The individual point cloud scans are subsequently registered into a global or local common coordinate system and merged to a single object.

Applications

This technology delivers an extremely reliable base to generate detailed and accurate digital surface models. Sachtleben Technology GmbH has a wide range of experience with this technology. Results are both two-dimensional overview plans showing for instance breaking edges or contour lines as well as surface models in most of the standard digital formats.

Sachtleben Technology GmbH offers a wide range of services in this context. For inventory analysis/ inventory forensics a long-term partnership with an excellent consultant with many years of experience was established.

Technology

Sachtleben Technology GmbH owns a Riegl VZ 1000 laser scanner. This operates with a class 1 laser, a beam widening of 0.017°and a maximum vertical and horizontal angular resolution of 0.0024°. The dust- and splash-proof housing enables the use in harsh, dusty environments such as clinker halls of cement plants as well as weather independent surveying of quarries and sand pits. The processing of the point cloud data is performed with various special software packages like I-Site Studio from Maptek or RiSCAN PRO from Riegl.

Inventory Forensics

Stocktaking of bulk material inventories is frequently carried out only by means of estimates, counts or input/output calculations. In the case of discrepancies between your book inventories and real inventories, commission Sachtleben Technology to perform inventory forensics. An inventory forensics expert will analyze the weak points in your inventory and production data recording and will propose a solution to improve the situation.

Inventory taking

Benefit from Sachtleben Technology’s expertise in volume determination – whether for the monthly inventory of your production records or for the annual inventory for your audit.

Point cloud processing

Working with point clouds and 3D data is a passion for Sachtleben Technology. We evaluate any 3D data. Our expertise ranges from image flight to laser scanning point clouds and photometry to CAD modeling.

Rental

Sachtleben Technology rents out its laser scanner on a daily basis. The scanner is an easy to use piece of equipment and is delivered pre-adjusted to the client by a conventional parcel service. Operational training can be provided on site or online. The client can now carry out the scanning work on its own with Sachtleben Technology’s telephone or online support. Subsequently Sachtleben Technology’s experts perform data processing and provide the results according to the requirements of the clients.
