Digitalization of real-world in more intelligent and efficient loading processes.
Process management becomes critical when it comes to increase productivity and profit through operational efficiency. At Woodtech we developed Bulkmeter, an automatic system that obtains in real time reliable and accurate information of raw material truckloads, allowing operators to take timely corrective actions in the loading process.
Among its main contributions to the mining industry, Bulkmeter allows for consistent traceability of raw material movements from the mine to the crusher and real-time warnings, which help to achieve a better productivity. Its state-of-the-art laser technology allows the user to identify in real-time oversized rocks on the loading surface of the truck and reduce the risk of damaging the crushing machines. The reporting system of Bulkmeter delivers valuable information such as loading distribution reports, which offer relevant operational insights to optimize the loads in each trip, avoiding over or under loaded trucks. Also, the system allows for comprehensive inventory control, among other benefits.
“We are a technological company, specialists in industrial processes. This expertise enables us to develop solutions that can show key operational administration data to create efficiency.
Bulkmeter requires minimal intervention in current operational environment and easily integrates into existing customers systems, for example, ERPs. This is widely appreciated by our clients.” said Carlos Bussinger. CEO of Woodtech.
Bulkmeter has an auditing system that allows reviewing the results of every measurement in detail, such as 3D images of the truck, images of the load, vehicles ID, loading reports, among others.
Bulkmeter benefits
- Information of all incoming and outgoing trucks to the plant
- Auditable evidence for 100% of incoming and outgoing trucks
- Accurate volume measurement for each truckload
- Less time needed for truck inspections
- Oversized rocks detection and real-time warnings
Successful case
Recently, Woodtech developed a new solution for one of its biggest mining clients in Brazil. It is based in is a control system that allows measuring the volume of material removed over a large area. 9 #Bulkmeters are organized in 4 control points arranged in a wide area. In real-time, this system could perform up to 12,900 dump trucks’ closed-loop measurements every day.
“We are very glad, because we could respond to the need of accurate and traceable information”, said CEO of Woodtech. Woodtech is a technological company, specialist in industrial processes, with more than 10 years of experience. We like to work closely with our clients by understanding their needs at the plant and adding value to their processes. Our solutions are present in several countries around the world, including Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, the USA, and Australia.
