LiDAR technology serves as a cornerstone for digitalization, safety, and process optimization

In the building materials and cement industry, LiDAR technology serves as a cornerstone for digitalization, safety, and process optimization. It is extensively used from quarry management and plant digitization to final product inventory and dispatch, transforming operations through precise, non-contact 3D measurement.

Principles

The technology works by emitting laser pulses that bounce off surfaces such as raw material piles, equipment, or plant structures. It records the exact return time for each pulse. By aggregating millions of these distance measurements from various scan positions, it constructs a comprehensive and millimeter-accurate digital twin—a 3D point cloud model of the entire facility and its assets.

Functions

LiDAR's core functions include calculating the volume of limestone stockpiles in quarries and clinker/cement in storage, monitoring the structural deformation of critical assets like kilns and silos for predictive maintenance, and guiding automated loading systems for trucks and railcars. This ensures precise inventory control, enhances plant safety, prevents unplanned downtime, and streamlines logistics.
