3D Level Multiple Scanner System MVL

3D Level Scanner – MVL is for use in multiple scanner systems that include the 3D visualization feature. It features a 7.67” diameter horn, 20-36 VDC, 4-20 mA output, Modbus, and RS-485 communications.When used in a multi-scanner system, it provides accurate readings of level and volume for stored materials based on two or more synchronized MVL units.

The multiscanner system provides an analog output which represents (as a default value) the overall volume of the contents of the entire silo. Unit comes with internal LCD display and 3DVision software. A controller (purchased separately) calculates volume and unifies the visualization by integrating data from multiple scanners. Appropriate for silos up to 200’ tall. Hazardous location approved, FM listed for Class I, II, Division 1, Groups C, D, E, F & G. One year warranty.

Applications:

  • Inventory Management
  • Remote Monitoring
  • Vendor Managed Inventory
  • Storage Dome Monitoring
  • Pile Monitoring

Description

Multiple-Scanner System: Measure Volume in Big Bins

The MVL system integrates multiple-point measurement data from two or more 3D scanners to cover a very wide surface area to estimate inventory volume in large diameter bins.

Need to measure volume in large diameter bins?  Would 3D visualization help you better manage bulk materials?

Multiple point measurement from multiple scanners is synchronized to provide a cohesive view of irregularly piled material.

What you get with 3D MVL:

  1. Significantly increased inventory accuracy in very large, wide silos
  2. A 3D visual that shows sidewall buildup, peaks, and valleys of material
  3. Software to estimate volume and provides minimum, maximum and average distances
  4. Continually updated information and alerts to optimize material management

3D MVL systems are popular in:

  • Grain silos including 105s or million-bushel bins
  • Large, covered grain storage facilities
  • Ethanol facilities with large bins of corn or DDGS
  • Bins or bunkers of coal, fly ash, or limestone at power plants
  • Large clinker, cement, or limestone silos at cement manufacturing plants
  • Wide soybean silos used in biodiesel production
  • Animal feed stored in large silos, bunkers, or warehouses
  • Bins storing fertilizer or sand
  • Mining operations with silos or stockpiles of limestone or ores
  • Large domes of bulk raw sugar
  • Ports with large storage silos and domes
  • Covered domes or bins storing salt
