TVS - Mining / haul truck volumetric scanner
TVS – Mining & Haul Truck LiDAR Volumetric Scanner (Trakblaze Indonesia)
Accurate. Reliable. Real‑Time. Maximise Payloads & Profits.
The TVS LiDAR Volumetric Scanner is a high‑accuracy, non‑contact volumetric measurement system engineered for mine haul trucks operating in Indonesia’s toughest environments. Using advanced LiDAR technology, TVS captures real‑time volumetric data, 3D point clouds, and complete load profiles all without stopping the truck.
This makes TVS the ideal solution for mining companies seeking to improve payload optimisation, reduce over/under loading, and increase revenue accuracy.
Why TVS Is the Leading Volumetric Scanner for Indonesia’s Mining Sector
- Non‑contact volumetric measurement
- Real‑time data & 3D point cloud output
- High accuracy in harsh mining environments
- Scan in‑motion no stopping required
- Improve payload optimisation & billing accuracy
- Reduce fuel consumption & tyre wear
- Enhance site safety & load compliance
- Rugged industrial design (IP67)
- 270° wide field of view
- Seamless integration with mine systems
How TVS Works – Real‑Time Volumetric Measurement
TVS uses dual high‑precision LiDAR scanners mounted above the haul road. As trucks pass beneath the scan head, the system captures thousands of distance points per second, generating a detailed 3D model of the load.
- Empty Reference Scan : The truck is scanned empty to create a baseline profile stored in the database.
- Loaded Scan : The loaded truck passes through the scanning zone at low speed — no stopping required.
- Volume Calculation : The software aligns the empty and loaded profiles to calculate the exact material volume.
Advanced Software – Real‑Time Insights in Under 10 Seconds
The TVS software provides near real‑time volumetric results using multi‑threaded processing. According to the document, calculations of production‑critical parameters are completed in “less than 10 seconds.”
