Material flow AI is a perception pipeline that runs on top of a conveyor-belt scanner (LiDAR + camera) to continuously classify and analyse the material crossing the belt — ore grade, contamination type, blend ratio — and feeds the result into your blending model, your control room, your material balance.Materialfluss-Optimierung KI ist eine Wahrnehmungs-Pipeline, die auf einem Förderband-Scanner (LiDAR + Kamera) läuft, das Schüttgut am Band kontinuierlich klassifiziert und vermisst — Erzqualität, Kontaminations-Typ, Mischungs-Verhältnis — und das Ergebnis direkt in Mischmodell, Leitwarte und Materialbilanz speist.Material flow AI is a perception pipeline that runs on top of a conveyor-belt scanner (LiDAR + camera) to continuously classify and analyse the material crossing the belt — ore grade, contamination type, blend ratio — and feeds the result into your blending model, your control room, your material balance.Material flow AI is a perception pipeline that runs on top of a conveyor-belt scanner (LiDAR + camera) to continuously classify and analyse the material crossing the belt — ore grade, contamination type, blend ratio — and feeds the result into your blending model, your control room, your material balance.Material flow AI is a perception pipeline that runs on top of a conveyor-belt scanner (LiDAR + camera) to continuously classify and analyse the material crossing the belt — ore grade, contamination type, blend ratio — and feeds the result into your blending model, your control room, your material balance.Material flow AI is a perception pipeline that runs on top of a conveyor-belt scanner (LiDAR + camera) to continuously classify and analyse the material crossing the belt — ore grade, contamination type, blend ratio — and feeds the result into your blending model, your control room, your material balance.

The pain is simple. A belt scale gives you mass per unit time. A volume scanner — like our OWL EYE® Volume Flow — gives you volume and density. Neither tells you what is on the belt. And in cement, sugar, fertiliser, recycling, ore processing and grain handling, that is exactly the question that drives blending, off-spec prevention and contract billing. The control room ends up inferring composition from feeder set-points and lab samples that arrive hours after the shift is over.Der Schmerz ist einfach. Eine Bandwaage liefert Masse pro Zeit. Ein Volumen-Scanner — wie unser OWL EYE® Volume Flow — liefert Volumen und Schüttdichte. Keiner sagt Ihnen, was auf dem Band liegt. Und in Zement, Zucker, Düngemittel, Recycling, Erzaufbereitung und Getreide ist genau das die Frage, die Verblendung, Off-Spec-Vermeidung und Vertrags-Abrechnung treibt. Die Leitwarte schätzt die Zusammensetzung am Ende aus Aufgeber-Sollwerten und Laborproben, die Stunden nach Schichtende eintreffen.The pain is simple. A belt scale gives you mass per unit time.

Our approach starts at the belt cross-section. A 2D LiDAR profiles the geometry of the material flow, a colour camera captures surface signature, and reflectivity at the belt adds a third channel. A per-section classification model — trained on your material categories (ore grades, contamination types, blend components, off-spec patterns) — labels every scan. Results aggregate into per-minute, per-shift and per-day flow reports, and the same stream drives real-time alarms when contamination spikes or the blend drifts off target.Unser Ansatz beginnt am Band-Querschnitt. Ein 2D-LiDAR profiliert die Geometrie des Materialflusses, eine Farbkamera erfasst die Oberflächen-Signatur, und die Reflektivität am Band liefert einen dritten Kanal. Ein eigener Klassifikator pro Querschnitt — trainiert auf Ihren Material-Kategorien (Erzqualitäten, Kontaminations-Typen, Mischungs-Komponenten, Off-Spec-Muster) — labelt jeden Scan. Die Ergebnisse aggregieren zu Minuten-, Schicht- und Tages-Flussberichten, und derselbe Strom triggert Echtzeit-Alarme, wenn die Kontamination steigt oder die Mischung vom Ziel abweicht.Our approach starts at the belt cross-section.

The 2D LiDAR profiles the belt at 10–50 Hz, producing overlapping cross-sections of the material flow. The colour camera adds a synchronised, lens-calibrated frame of the same patch of belt. Belt-speed input from the existing encoder ties geometry to mass and aligns frames into a continuous longitudinal record. Raw data writes to local storage with a per-section UUID for audit trail and re-labelling. Der 2D-LiDAR profiliert das Band mit 10–50 Hz und erzeugt überlappende Querschnitte des Materialflusses.

 We don't publish list prices because every project is scoped against your data and your decision logic — but we work to three predictable tiers.

Discovery & Assessment — a 1–3 day workshop, on-site or remote, fixed price in the low-four-figure range. You receive a written feasibility note, a recommended next step and (if applicable) a fixed-price quote for the follow-on project. Useful even if you don't then go ahead — many customers use the note to evaluate two or three vendors.

Custom Pipeline / Tool — a 4–12 week project delivering a working perception pipeline (parser + algorithm + dashboard or OPC UA integration). Fixed scope, fixed price, you own the code at handover. Typical project size is in the mid-five to low-six-figure range depending on data volume, sensor count and integration depth.

Long-term Partnership — a monthly retainer for ongoing development and on-call support. Sized to the team capacity you need (typically 0.5–2 FTE equivalent). Quarterly road-mapping included.

All three tiers include source code, written documentation and a clean handover — no licence dependence on us. See our Industrial Perception AI service for the full engagement model.
Wir veröffentlichen keine Listenpreise, weil jedes Projekt auf Ihre Daten und Ihre Entscheidungs-Logik zugeschnitten wird — aber wir arbeiten in drei berechenbaren Tiers.

Discovery & Assessment — ein 1–3-tägiger Workshop, vor Ort oder remote, Festpreis im unteren vierstelligen Bereich. Sie erhalten eine schriftliche Machbarkeits-Note, einen empfohlenen nächsten Schritt und ggf. ein Festpreis-Angebot für das Folge-Projekt. Lohnt sich auch ohne Folge-Auftrag — viele Kunden nutzen die Note, um zwei oder drei Anbieter zu vergleichen.

Custom Pipeline / Tool — ein 4–12-Wochen-Projekt, das eine fertige Wahrnehmungs-Pipeline liefert (Parser + Algorithmus + Dashboard oder OPC-UA-Anbindung). Fester Scope, Festpreis, Code-Übergabe am Ende. Übliche Projektgröße liegt im mittleren fünf- bis unteren sechsstelligen Bereich, je nach Datenvolumen, Sensor-Anzahl und Integrations-Tiefe.

Langfristige Partnerschaft — monatlicher Retainer für laufende Entwicklung und On-Call-Support. Dimensioniert nach benötigter Team-Kapazität (typisch 0,5–2 FTE-Äquivalente). Quartalsweise Roadmap inklusive.

Alle drei Tiers enthalten Quellcode, schriftliche Dokumentation und saubere Übergabe — keine Lizenz-Abhängigkeit von uns. Vollständiges Zusammenarbeits-Modell siehe unsere Industrielle Objekterkennung.

 From signed contract to a working tool in production, expect 4–12 weeks for a standard custom-pipeline engagement. The spread is driven by three factors.

Data readiness. If you already have labelled data or representative recordings, we start training in week 1. If we need to set up data collection, add a sensor, or label from scratch, the front end adds 1–3 weeks.

Integration depth. A standalone dashboard with REST output is the fastest path — typically 4–6 weeks. OPC UA integration into a running control system, with interlocks, factory-acceptance tests and a customer change-management process, is closer to 8–12 weeks.

Sensor count and site complexity. One LiDAR + one camera in a clean indoor environment is faster than a six-sensor outdoor portal with dust, snow and dynamic lighting. We scope the difference up-front in the Discovery workshop.

For a faster first signal we recommend the Discovery & Assessment tier — 1–3 days, fixed price, written feasibility note within a week. See Industrial Perception AI for the full model.
Vom unterzeichneten Vertrag bis zum produktiven Tool rechnen Sie mit 4–12 Wochen für ein Standard-Custom-Pipeline-Projekt. Die Spanne wird von drei Faktoren bestimmt.

Datenlage. Wenn Sie bereits gelabelte Daten oder repräsentative Aufnahmen haben, starten wir in Woche 1 mit dem Training. Müssen wir Datenerfassung aufsetzen, einen Sensor ergänzen oder von Null labeln, kommt vorne 1–3 Wochen dazu.

Integrations-Tiefe. Ein eigenständiges Dashboard mit REST-Schnittstelle ist der schnellste Weg — typisch 4–6 Wochen. OPC-UA-Anbindung in eine laufende Leittechnik, mit Verriegelungen, Werks-Abnahme und kundenseitigem Change-Management, eher 8–12 Wochen.

Sensor-Anzahl und Anlagen-Komplexität. Ein LiDAR + eine Kamera in einer sauberen Innen-Umgebung geht schneller als ein 6-Sensor-Portal im Freien mit Staub, Schnee und wechselndem Licht. Den Unterschied schneiden wir vorab im Discovery-Workshop sauber zu.

Für ein schnelleres erstes Signal empfehlen wir das Discovery & Assessment-Tier — 1–3 Tage, Festpreis, schriftliche Machbarkeits-Note innerhalb einer Woche. Vollständiges Modell siehe Industrielle Objekterkennung.

 You do. Our standard contract transfers full ownership of the project-specific code, model weights, training data (where the data is yours) and documentation to you on final acceptance. We don't keep a back-door licence and we don't lock you into a maintenance contract.

What we retain is our pre-existing toolbox — reusable libraries, calibration utilities, generic data parsers, the OWL EYE® core — which we license to you, royalty-free, for use on the delivered tool. This is the same boundary that any reputable engineering firm draws: we bring the toolbox, you keep the deliverable.

If you want a different IP arrangement — for example a joint patent on a novel algorithm, or a co-developed model that we both reuse with consent — we structure that explicitly in the project contract. Tell us up-front in the Discovery workshop.

 Yes — in most cases. Our toolchain is sensor-agnostic on the data layer. If your sensors deliver a standard format (PCD, LAS, E57 for point clouds; RTSP, GigE Vision, USB3 Vision for cameras) we can ingest them in a day. We've worked with Riegl, Livox, Faro, Hesai, Velodyne, Ouster, Basler, FLIR, Allied Vision and IDS cameras.

We'll tell you honestly when the existing hardware isn't the right tool. Common cases where we recommend a replacement:

- The existing LiDAR is too narrow (FoV or range) to cover the area you want classified — usually solved by repositioning before buying anything new.
- The camera is auto-exposing on a high-contrast scene (sun + shadow at a gate), which breaks classification reliability — solved by switching to a manual-exposure industrial camera with HDR sensor.
- The existing sensor's vendor lock-in (proprietary stream format, no documented SDK) makes integration cost more than a Livox replacement.

We don't earn a margin on reselling hardware to you. If you do want us to source new sensors, we do that through our normal Hardware & products channel at list price. See Industrial Perception AI for how we scope it.
In den meisten Fällen ja. Unsere Toolchain ist auf der Datenebene sensor-agnostisch. Wenn Ihre Sensoren ein Standard-Format liefern (PCD, LAS, E57 für Punktwolken; RTSP, GigE Vision, USB3 Vision für Kameras), binden wir sie an einem Tag an. Wir haben mit Riegl, Livox, Faro, Hesai, Velodyne, Ouster, Basler, FLIR, Allied Vision und IDS gearbeitet.

Wir sagen Ihnen ehrlich, wenn die vorhandene Hardware nicht das richtige Werkzeug ist. Übliche Fälle, in denen wir zum Tausch raten:

- Der vorhandene LiDAR ist zu schmal (FoV oder Reichweite), um den gewünschten Bereich abzudecken — meist durch Repositionierung gelöst, bevor neu gekauft wird.
- Die Kamera auto-belichtet auf einer Szene mit hohem Kontrast (Sonne + Schatten am Tor), das bricht die Klassifikations-Zuverlässigkeit — gelöst durch Wechsel auf eine manuell belichtbare Industrie-Kamera mit HDR-Sensor.
- Vendor-Lock-in des vorhandenen Sensors (proprietärer Stream, kein dokumentiertes SDK) macht die Anbindung teurer als ein Livox-Ersatz.

- The camera is auto-exposing on a high-contrast scene (sun + shadow at a gate), which breaks classification reliability — solved by switching to a manual-exposure industrial camera with HDR sensor.
- The existing sensor's vendor lock-in (proprietary stream format, no documented SDK) makes integration cost more than a Livox replacement.

We don't earn a margin on reselling hardware to you. If you do want us to source new sensors, we do that through our normal Hardware & products channel at list price. See Industrial Perception AI for how we scope it.
Yes — in most cases. Our toolchain is sensor-agnostic on the data layer. If your sensors deliver a standard format (PCD, LAS, E57 for point clouds; RTSP, GigE Vision, USB3 Vision for cameras) we can ingest them in a day. We've worked with Riegl, Livox, Faro, Hesai, Velodyne, Ouster, Basler, FLIR, Allied Vision and IDS cameras.
