Accurate and on-demand volume data
Volume Monitoring
Accurate level sensing and volume monitoring are essential for effective inventory and supply chain management across various industries. Blickfeld’s 3D LiDAR technology offers precise, on-demand measurements for applications such as stockpile monitoring, silo level sensing, and logistics optimization. Our solution provides real-time data and remote access across multiple ocations, ensuring efficient and reliable material management. Transform your operations with smart, digital monitoring and make material trading more efficient.
Support in daily business operations
By providing highly current and reliable insights into asset quantities present in value streams, plant managers, dispatchers and accountants are supported in their daily tasks, reducing the effort and cost related to measuring and reporting of volumes.
Digitalization of the whole value chain
With accurate Volume Monitoring providing 24/7 overview of material stocks, users gain overall control of their facility, creating transparency for various relevant departments involved.
Efficient trading of materials
Accurate stock data enables better forecasting of resources and leveraging of storage capacity. Therefore, supply chain processes can be triggered in time and automatically, ensuring the ability to meet contractually promised volumes and timelines.
Avoidance of production interruptions
The automation of manual processes prevent human errors in estimating volumes, ensuring smooth (production) processes and avoiding revenue losses caused by missing supplies.

Solution Architecture
3D LiDAR Sensor
Blickfeld’s high-resolution 3D-LiDAR sensors continuously collect data and produce point clouds that map the sensor environment in 3D.
- Qb2 features rugged IP67 ingress protection
- High point cloud density ensures accurate measurements, even in dusty environments
- On-device WiFi eliminates the need for extra network cabling and simplifies installation
On-Device Software
The associated software analyzes this data on-device and outputs exact volume information on-demand.
- Set up of volume zones via drag & drop
- Data from multiple Blickfeld LiDAR sensors can be easily merged
- On-demand, real-time volume data
Blickfeld Dashboard
Blickfeld offers a customized dashboard that displays volume data in a user-friendly way. This data can be accessed anytime, anywhere, and from any device.
- On-demand, real-time volume data
- Monitor multiple bunkers and production sites simultaneously
- Live and historical volume data overview
- Alarm generation
Industries
Continuously determine waste situations in bunkers in real-time and with high accuracy – Blickfeld’s digital solution enables efficient waste disposition and economical plant operation. The 3D volume data not only improves the utilization of materials recovery facilities but also provides the accounting and logistics departments with a reliable source of data to more easily comply with material storage regulations. With on-demand data access, waste companies can better forecast resources and leverage more storage capacity. This not only helps to plan the throughput of material better but also optimize internal logistics processes across sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cube 1 sensors ship with a mounting bracket that provides a standard 1/4″”-UNC camera thread.
For Qb2 sensors, Blickfeld offers different mounting options, including a camera mount that provides a standard 1/4″”-UNC camera thread and a pan tilt mount which allows for flexible mounting of both Qb2 variants to both walls and poles. Contact sales@blickfeld.com for further information.
Blickfeld LiDAR sensors are offered with IP6X-rated housings, which are dust-proof. Additionally, dust can affect the performance of the sensor in two ways. In the air, dust can increase the false detection rate of LiDAR sensors. However, Blickfeld sensors perform very well in such scenarios, as long-term installations inside waste facility bunkers, silos, and similar locations have shown. Additionally, dust can settle on the optical aperture of the sensor, which decreases the detection range. However, this is only a problem in extreme cases, such as inside silos containing powdered substances. For such cases, Blickfeld can offer a pneumatic cleaning as an add-on to the sensor.
No additional software is needed to configure and operate the sensors except for a recent internet browser.
