Mine Payload Scanner

Mine Payload Scanner

Measure Actual Load Volumes, Not Converted Weight Estimates

The Loadscan Mine Payload Scanner (MPS) uses eye-safe LiDAR laser scanning technology to accurately measure the exact volume of material loaded into every truck bin. Delivering the same high level of accuracy as the certified LVS system, the MPS gives mining operations a reliable, automated and auditable payload measurement solution for both surface and underground applications.

LiDAR-Powered Volume Measurement

What is load volume scanning?

Loadscan is at the forefront of mining tech! The Mine Payload Scanner (MPS) system utilizes eye-safe Lidar laser scanning technology combined with proprietary Loadscan software to measure the exact volume of material loaded into a truck bin. With the MPS system you’ll measure actual volume, not a converted weight estimate.

By accurately calculating net volumes delivered for processing you can eliminate arguments over tons delivered by the haulage contractor or haulage department to the mill. It also enables you to optimize loading for maximum asset utilization.

A 3D scan image of every load is generated, providing an audit trail and visual record of loading. Customers have found this extremely helpful when training and coaching their operators.

Simple, Automated Scanning Process

How the MPS system works

Empty truck is scanned to create reference scan in the database

Trucks can be tracked manually or ﬁtted with RFID tags for automatic identiﬁcation

Trucks are scanned by driving below an elevated scan head, which can be mounted on a pole, gantry, or underground mine portal. The scanning process is fully automated.

Proprietary MyScanner™ software reports volumetric measurement, including 3D load profiles of every load

Loadscan is the only load volume scanning company worldwide to have achieved trade certification approval for truck volume measurement. Our LVS-3 system is certified for trade in New Zealand under Trade Approval Certificate 1556 (MAPPS NZ), pattern approval Certificate 13/1/15 (NMI AUS) and the National Type Evaluation Program Certificate of Conformance 24-001P for weighing and measuring devices (NTEP USA). The MPS shares a common scan engine and measurement algorithms with the LVS and delivers the same level of accuracy. The MPS is sold as ‘Monitor Only’ and ‘Not Legal for Trade Use’, however it will still perform to the same high level of accuracy as required by the Trade certificates in New Zealand and Australia.

Configuration Options

Volume scanning delivers extensive mine automation benefits

The Loadscan LVS is available in four mounting configurations, each designed to meet the specific deployment needs of different operations and site types. Whether you require a permanent fixed installation, a long-term portable setup, a mobile solution that moves between sites, or a custom configuration for specialist environments such as underground portals or large dumpers, there is a Loadscan LVS system suited to your requirements.

System Components

Everything You Need Included as Standard in Every LVS System

The standard block-mounted LVS configuration shown below is designed for use with on-road trucks and small off-highway articulated dumpers. Vehicles are scanned by driving slowly below the elevated scan head. The scanning process is fully automated.

A touch-screen operator console provides for easy operator control and monitoring of the system and a high visibility LED message board displays load results, driver instructions and status messages. All Loadscan LVS systems also include an RFID tag reader (for automatic identification of each truck and trailer), docket printer, LVS measurement software, and MyScanner™ reporting software.
