At a glance: Benefits of having volumetric load scanners. Working with a volumetric load scanner. Volumetric scanning of loads is a new technology in the mining industry that provides unrivalled benefits to mining companies. This somewhat new tech in payload weighing is increasingly setting standards in the accurate measurement of truck payloads for mining sites. …

Volumetric scanning represents a relatively new weight measurement technology and provides improved efficiencies for applications across a broad range of industries. Technology like this enables industrial, mining and construction processes to manage payloads more effectively. Volumetric Scanning systems use 3D imaging software to measure bulk materials that have been loaded into trucks and rail wagons. …

Mobile Volumetric Scanners have come into the industry and begun to change the game. They offer an innovative, time and money-saving opportunity for mining sites and transportation. Volumetric scanners give us the ability to measure bulk materials loaded into trains or any other vehicle using imaging software, and it offers an automatic calculation without a …

Volumetric load scanning is still a fairly new technology for the mining and rail industries. Trakblaze pioneered this payload management technology and is now the industry standard for volumetric scanning processes. The question remains, how does it work, and can it be accurate? Volumetric load scanners can measure load volumes in real-time, whilst also can have …

The Australian mining industry is a major industry for the nation’s economic growth. A combination of mining equipment, technology and services (METS) contributed to 62% percent of all the Australian exports in 2020 and created more revenue than all sectors combined. The growth which continued in 2021, despite setbacks from COVID-19 restrictions, reflects the true …

Mining, as an industry, operates within the harshest working environments in the world. Often the mines are exposed to uncontrollable heat and cold, dust, or any range of environmental conditions, out of their control. So, this means that all machinery on-site must be able to withstand any weather condition. Why? Because no mining environment can …

Volume scanning is becoming the new mining and rail industry standard as a reliable system when shifting bulk materials. The mining and rail industry is all about efficiently transporting materials from one place to another, and measuring these loads accurately is a crucial part of improving the revenue and productivity of said industries. Most of …

The mining industry is all about shifting the maximum amount of materials from one place to another efficiently. It is essential to get an accurate measurement of each load to increase revenue. When it comes to accurate measurement, there is a vast difference in traditional and modern approaches. Weighing a load and converting it to …

When it was announced that Western Australian mines were declared essential and they were going to continue operating through the pandemic, the positive impact was unprecedented. This move not only protected the Western Australian economy, but keeping Australian mines running has endlessly supported the constantly unpredictable Australian economy.

If you’re in the market for a sophisticated industrial weighing and measuring system, the chances are high that you’re involved in highly trade exposed commodities production or highly competitive manufacturing and distribution. That’s important because operating in trade exposed and/or competitive environments means that efficiency and accurate data are essential to maintaining productivity and profitability. …

Currently, the mining industry is at a crossroads of technological integration, a mix between a traditional past and a transformative and sustainable future. Just like the rest of the world, the mining landscape is now in a state of disruption. However, once the dust settles and all the current precautions are removed, mining companies will …
