Volumetry April 21, 2023

Customer case: Heguang Cloud helps a state-owned miner monitor construction aggregate stockpile volume

Accurate stockpile volumetry and real-time monitoring with 3D vision

Customer background

A state-owned operator sells ground ore to construction as concrete and infrastructure feedstock. The semi-open yard holds sand, aggregate, and soil—inventory must support sales and finance.

Challenges

Aggregate stockyard
  • Experience-based stock guesses slow new sales staff and delay order confirmation;
  • No digital in/out trail—finance lacks trustworthy movement data;
  • Open-air exposure risks loss and unquantified shrink.

HEGANG YUNCHANG solution: 2D LiDAR + gimbal

HEGANG YUNCHANG deployed a lightweight stockpile volumetry stack using 2D LiDAR and a precision pan-tilt unit.
