Automated stockpile measurement of materials

Optimize Stockpile Management with StockSure – Your AI Agent for Accurate Volumetric Estimation Using LiDAR.

Gain real-time, accurate measurements to improve stockpile inventory management, reduce waste, and enhance operational efficiency.

Trusted by leading global enterprises

Issues Related to stockpile inventory management

Problems Without Accurate Stockpile Volume Measurement

Inaccurate stockpile inventory management leads to issues like incorrect material flow measurement, uneven distribution, conveyor wear, material composition variability, and misaligned belts. These problems cause inefficiencies, higher costs, and safety risks. LiDAR-based volumetric estimation offers real-time data to optimize material handling and improve operational efficiency.

Inaccurate stockpile management

Without accurate measurements, stockpiles risk overstocking or understocking Manual estimation methods are error-prone.

Volumetric estimation done manually by climbing the piles to measure the base and height, resulting in a 15% error due to inconsistencies and unaccounted surface deformations.

Incorrect supply
planning

Measurement variations lead to inaccurate procurement of materials, affecting supply planning

Lack of stockpile volume measurement makes supply planning unreliable, causing material shortages or excess inventory. This disrupts production, increases costs, and affects overall efficiency.

Inefficient Material Handling

Material mishandling leads to wasted resources, higher labor costs, & inefficient storage use, increasing operational expenses

Without accurate stockpile volume measurement, material handling becomes inefficient, leading to uneven distribution, increased wastage, and higher operational costs

Safety
hazards

Climbing onto piles for measurements poses safety risks, with chances of slipping and accidents.

Hazardous materials pose risks of fire, explosion, or toxic dust. Manual monitoring adds to safety concerns and may not meet modern compliance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How Vision AI system is better than other stockpile management methods?

Vision AI’s system uses industrial cameras and deep-learning-based 3D modeling to deliver continuous, real-time bulk material volume estimation with 95% accuracy. It requires no drone flights or manual surveys, and performs reliably in dusty, low-light, or high-temperature environments. The system also provides automated reporting and historical trend analysis for improved bulk material tracking and operational control.

Can the system detect unusual changes in stockpiles, such as unexpected movements or volume shifts ?

Yes, the AI-driven stockpile management system can detect unusual changes in stockpiles—such as unexpected movements, sudden volume shifts, or unauthorized material handling—and triggers real-time alerts for timely action.

Does the AI system provide automated volumetric calculations of stockpiles?

Yes. Vision AI automatically performs volumetric calculations of bulk material stockpiles. The system continuously measures pile dimensions in real time, delivering accurate volume estimates without the need for manual surveys or drone scans. This ensures precise inventory tracking, faster reconciliation, and improved operational efficiency.

 
Is the AI system capable of managing stockpiles in outdoor environments such as yards, quarries, and mines?

Yes. Vision AI is designed for outdoor industrial environments such as yards, quarries, and mines, offering real-time bulk material monitoring and volumetric estimation. It performs reliably in dust, rain, and varying lighting conditions, ensuring accurate and continuous stockpile management.
