Real-time Volume Monitoring and Smart Position Closing

In the bulk material shipping process at coal mines or ports, loading efficiency directly affects the throughput of the logistics system. Traditional chute-based loading often relies on operators’ experience to perform “blind loading,” which easily leads to uneven cargo distribution (imbalanced loads), underloading (wasted space), or overloading and spillage (environmental pollution and safety hazards). If the load is uneven, vehicles are prone to tipping over during transit; if the load exceeds the vehicle’s capacity, not only does it result in material spillage and waste, but also exposes the operator to severe environmental and road management penalties. How to achieve “maximum filling, even distribution, and zero spillage” in a dusty environment is the core challenge in realizing unmanned loading stations.

Application Logic: Deploy H1X/H3X 3D profile scanning LiDAR systems above or to the side of the loading chute. The radar performs high-frequency, real-time 3D scans of the interior of the railcars below, dynamically constructing a digital model of the coal pile. The system calculates in real time the current loading volume, the highest point of the material pile, and the flatness of the material surface, and feeds this data back to the PLC control system in real time. Based on the radar data, the control system automatically guides the chute’s movement or adjusts the feeding rate, prioritizing the filling of low-lying areas and preventing further material from being added to already full regions.

Technological Advantages: The H1X/H3X is specially designed for industrial environments with high dust levels, featuring exceptional dust-penetration and fog-clearing capabilities that ensure stable imaging even in loading areas filled with coal ash. Compared to conventional ultrasonic or single-point laser systems, the H1X/H3X provides a 3D point cloud covering the entire interior of the freight car, enabling precise detection of car edges and detailed information about localized material accumulations. Not only does this system help maximize the car’s payload capacity, but it also effectively prevents materials from spilling out of the car, significantly reducing manual cleaning costs and enhancing both the safety and environmental performance of shipping operations.
