20+ supported LiDAR sensors. Up to 4 sensors fused per edge unit. Solid-state flash LiDAR with integrated camera. Lab-calibrated weight estimation. All processing on the edge.
Most volume measurement systems force you to buy their LiDAR sensor, their software, and their cloud. CRATUS lets you pick the parts that fit your site.
We work with 20+ qualified LiDAR sensors from manufacturers like HESAI, SEYOND, and others. Mechanical spinning, MEMS, solid-state flash, handheld. We match the LiDAR to your range, environment, dust load, lighting, accuracy target, and budget. If a better LiDAR ships next year, swap it in. The CRATUS platform does not care.
For conveyors and material identification, we deploy solid-state flash LiDAR with an integrated RGB camera in the same enclosure. One field of view, one timestamp, zero parallax. Measure volume and identify color, contamination, and surface characteristics from the same device, in the same frame. No moving parts means no failures in dusty, vibrating environments.
One CRATUS edge unit fuses data from up to 4 LiDAR sensors at the same time. Scan stockpiles from multiple angles. Cover wide truck lanes with overlapping views. Watch a conveyor from above and the side at once. More angles, fewer blind spots, higher accuracy.
Point cloud capture, surface reconstruction, volume calculation, weight estimation against your characterized density model, and image analytics all run on a standard CPU at your site. Your LiDAR data stays with you. No mandatory cloud. No punitive per-sensor or per-query fees. Buy the edge CPU outright, or add our cloud platform on a per-node subscription.
Volume comes from LiDAR. Weight comes from a density model we characterize in our materials lab and compensate live for humidity, temperature, pile shape, and time. Every weight number ships with a confidence interval.
The data flow from LiDAR sensors at the site to volume measurements and weight estimates in your systems.
Why single-sensor LiDAR systems miss what multi-angle CRATUS fusion catches.
Real-world stockpiles have undercuts, ridges, and irregular shapes that a single LiDAR sensor cannot fully capture from one mounting point. Single-sensor LiDAR systems treat hidden surfaces as flat, which under-counts or over-counts volume depending on which side is blocked.
CRATUS fuses point clouds from up to four LiDAR sensors mounted at different angles on a single edge CPU. The fused surface model captures the full geometry including the undercuts that single-sensor systems miss. Multi-angle LiDAR fusion is the difference between an approximate measurement and an audit-ready one.
Registration, drift correction, and surface reconstruction all run locally on the edge CPU. No cloud round-trip for the geometry that matters most.
We qualify and integrate LiDAR sensors across every major category. Selection criteria during the feasibility step: range, field of view, resolution, IP rating, eye safety, dust tolerance, ambient light, and temperature.
360-degree coverage from rotating LiDAR sensors. Long range, high resolution. For wide outdoor coverage areas.
HESAI, SEYOND, othersNo moving parts. Integrated camera option. Fast capture rates. For conveyors, truck lanes, and harsh environments.
Solid-state partnersCompact form factor with mechanical micro-mirrors. Cost-effective for fixed-aim applications like silos and bins.
MEMS partnersPortable LiDAR scanners for on-demand surveys, irregular asset audits, and pre-deployment site characterization.
Handheld partnersThe CRATUS edge unit is a compact industrial CPU that processes LiDAR data locally and integrates with your existing systems.
Compact industrial CPU. Wall-mount or rackmount, IP-rated enclosure for plant environments.
Up to 4 LiDAR sensors per unit. Multi-angle fusion runs locally.
Standard protocols. The edge CPU speaks the language your plant already runs on.
"On-premise Only" available. No mandatory cloud. No phone-home. Cybersecurity-segmented deployment supported.
CRATUS LiDAR systems run in mines, ports, cement plants, and grain terminals. The platform is rated for what those environments throw at it.
Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +60°C depending on LiDAR selection. Dust, humidity, vibration, and ambient light all handled through sensor selection during the feasibility step.
LiDAR drift handled through periodic recalibration. Mean time between recalibrations measured in years, not months. One-time engineering fee per service activity, or covered by cloud subscription.
On-premises deployment, network segmentation supported, no mandatory phone-home, no inbound internet required. Software update model under customer control.
CRATUS LiDAR systems are designed, integrated, and assembled in the United States. Our engineering team handles sensor qualification, edge unit assembly, integration design, and field commissioning. Our materials lab handles every customer's density characterization.
We sell engineering services as much as we sell hardware. Every CRATUS LiDAR deployment ships with the engineering work that makes the measurement actually work for your site.
The benefits show up in supply chain reliability, faster engineering turnaround, and the ability to customize the LiDAR system for specific industrial requirements without going through an offshore production cycle.
Full technical documentation lives in the LiDAR reference manual we share during the engagement.
Our engineering team is happy to talk LiDAR architecture, sensor selection, edge processing, and integration patterns before you commit to anything.
