Allison Engineering’s 3D Volume
Scanner System is designed for bulksolid
inventory measurement tasks. It
is designed to take multiple
measurements of the product profile
to build a three dimensional map of
the bay, silo,
vessel or
stockpile.

Based on
volumetric
measurement and
product density,
operators are able
to identify both
the total inventory and the product
profile.

With this information they can
reduce safety stock levels which can
have an immediate beneficial effect
on cash flow. The system helps to
identify product build-up so
operators can maximise production
efficiencies and analyse their process
in greater detail.

The
company says
that end of
week or month
stock
discrepancies
can be better
understood
with more
accurate and realistic inventory
measurement and 3D imaging.
