Volume Measurement System VMS-US128
Real-time LiDAR volume measurement system for precise, contactless monitoring of bunkers, domes, warehouses and similar storage spaces, with 99%+ volumetric measurement accuracy.
END MARKETS
Eliminate the guesswork from your bulk material inventory with advanced LiDAR-based volume measurement. Unlike traditional single-point sensors or manual estimations that fail to account for irregular peaks, rat-holing, and uneven valleys, our LiDAR systems map the entire surface of your stockpiles in high-definition 3D. Designed to operate reliably in dusty, dark, and harsh environments, this non-contact technology provides continuous, highly accurate volumetric data. By automating inventory tracking, you can optimize your supply chain, ensure precise financial reporting, and dramatically improve worker safety by keeping personnel off dangerous storage structures.
Applications and Use Cases
Silo and Dome Monitoring: Continuously measure remaining volume inside silos, domes and enclosed storage areas without relying on manual inspection or single-point level readings.
Bunker and Stockpile Management: Track aggregates, ores, coal, biomass, woodchips, powders and other bulk solids across open or semi-enclosed storage areas.
Truck Bed Measurement: Scan loaded or unloaded truck beds to estimate material volume without stopping operations for manual checks.
Conveyor Flow Monitoring: Monitor material flow on conveyors with continuous 3D scanning for better process visibility and inventory control.
Warehouse and Flat Storage Auditing: Measure spread-out, irregular piles in large indoor storage environments where traditional sensors cannot represent the full material surface.
ERP and Reporting Integration: Feed real-time volume data into operational systems for inventory reporting, planning, audit support and replenishment decisions.
From Point Cloud to Volume Data
VMS-US128 captures the material surface as a 3D point cloud, reconstructs the real geometry of the pile and converts it into measurable volume data. This allows operators to track irregular bulk materials without manual surveys, physical contact or stopped operations.
Scan the Material Surface
LiDAR sensors capture the visible surface of the material in 3D.
Reconstruct the Geometry
The system builds a digital surface model from the captured point cloud.
Calculate Volume
Volume is calculated against the storage geometry, truck bed, conveyor area or reference surface.
Share the Data
Measurement data can be used for inventory reporting, planning and operational decision making.
Why VMS-US128
VMS-US128 is designed for industrial teams that need continuous material visibility without manual measurement routines. It helps turn complex bulk material surfaces into usable inventory data for daily operations, planning and reporting.

- Real-Time Inventory DataSupports faster decisions for dispatch, replenishment, production planning and material availability.
- Built for Irregular MaterialsWorks with uneven piles, slopes, peaks, valleys and changing material distribution.
- Industrial Integration ReadyMeasurement data can support reporting workflows, inventory systems and operational dashboards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the VMS-US128 measure?
VMS-US128 is a real-time LiDAR volume measurement system. It captures the material surface as a 3D point cloud, reconstructs the real geometry of the pile and converts it into measurable volume data for bunkers, domes, silos, warehouses and similar storage spaces.
How accurate is the VMS-US128?
The system delivers 99%+ volumetric measurement accuracy.
Which materials and storage areas can it monitor?
It tracks aggregates, ores, coal, biomass, woodchips, powders and other bulk solids across open or semi-enclosed storage areas. It also covers silos, domes, enclosed storage, large indoor warehouse floors and truck beds.
Does the VMS-US128 work on irregular piles?
Yes. It measures the whole material surface instead of a single level point, so it handles uneven piles, slopes, peaks, valleys and changing material distribution.
Does measurement require physical contact or manual surveys?
No. Measurement is contactless. It keeps operators away from unsafe inspection areas, moving equipment and unstable stockpiles, and it works without manual surveys or stopped operations.
How is the volume data used?
Measurement data can be used for inventory reporting, planning and operational decision making. It can feed operational systems for inventory reporting, audit support and replenishment decisions.
