Success story: cement plant clinker auto-loading retrofit for unattended, high-throughput loading
End-to-end clinker loading automation and spill prevention with 3D LiDAR point clouds and vehicle positioning
Project background
Dusty clinker dispatch needed unmanned loading with spill prevention across heterogeneous fleets.
- Tight accuracy targets
- Human error risk
- Safety and environmental pressure
HEGANG YUNCHANG truck volumetry stack
Non-contact scanning tracks empty/full profiles, estimating fill level and freeboard for interlocked spout control.
Implementation flow
- Arrival pose
- Panoramic bed state
- High-accuracy solve
- Historical replay
Optimization
- Pose compensation
- Multi-spout recipes
- Weighbridge integration
Summary
Cycles shortened, complaints dropped, and on-site exposure decreased—with room for fleet self-learning.
