Introduction
LoadMon is an innovative log measurement solution. It can measure the height, width, and length of a batch of logs to get accurate information about the load. In addition to displacement measurements, an average diameter is calculated. Also, large cavities and errors in loading quality are detected. All of the above is done without a human intervention.
The solution can also measure bulk wood, biomass, ore or any material loaded into open containers. LoadMon will measure the missing trailer capacity. The result will include an image of the upper view, which displays differences in height; different heights are displayed in different colors.
How it works
LoadMon constructs a full 3D model of the truck, measures the dimensions of the truck, analyzes characteristics of the load and calculates the volumes. The process can be fully automated or run under operator supervision. Once the process has been started no human intervention required.
LoadMon is designed for seamless integration with any other apps, services or databases. Thanks to this flexibility, virtually any component of the solution can be integrated with existing client systems.
Software
The key part of the solution is the software. It handles all aspects of the work, from controlling the traffic lights at the entrance to analyzing the 3D model of the truck. The solutions consist of the following components:
We are constantly working to improve the LoadMon solution and our software receives periodic updates with new features, modules, and improvements.
Gatehouse
To get the most precise measurement LoadMon is built on a concrete floor with all the sides covered. This is to prevent any interference from rain, snow, high winds, and dust.
The solution can also measure bulk wood, biomass, ore or any material loaded into open containers. LoadMon will measure the missing trailer capacity. The result will include an image of the upper view, which displays differences in height; different heights are displayed in different colors.

How it works
LoadMon constructs a full 3D model of the truck, measures the dimensions of the truck, analyzes characteristics of the load and calculates the volumes. The process can be fully automated or run under operator supervision. Once the process has been started no human intervention required.
1. Detect
When the truck arrives and has been detected by the system, the application will display a license plate number of the truck and additional information such as waybill, contract, vendor and load details. The system is ready to start scanning.2. Capture
The sensors capture millions of points that are used to build a three-dimensional model of a truck. When the truck passes the sensor, the system will automatically stop capturing and proceed the next stage.3. Pre-process
The system performs basic processing of the collected data and constructs the 3D model of the truck. The model is ready in about 10-15 seconds after scanning completion and can be viewed by operator if required. Once this stage is ready, the system will start the next stage, but it is ready to accept another truck.4. Analyze
At this stage, the system will accurately analyze the collected data, measure log packs, calculate dimensions, volumes, diameters and check for errors. All of the above is done without human intervention.5. Results & auditing
Web application allows operators to view results, including detailed information about the truck and the load. Each scan contains side and top images of the truck and segments. In addition, a full 3D model of the truck is available. Users can post comments, check invoice information and create reports.LoadMon is designed for seamless integration with any other apps, services or databases. Thanks to this flexibility, virtually any component of the solution can be integrated with existing client systems.
Software
The key part of the solution is the software. It handles all aspects of the work, from controlling the traffic lights at the entrance to analyzing the 3D model of the truck. The solutions consist of the following components:
On-site application
Controls the traffic lights, detects truck license plate, constructs and analyzes 3D model of the truck, provides remote control of the barrier and controls all the sensors. This software allows You to see the 3D image 5 seconds after the truck has finished driving through the sensors. Then the operator can check the image and allow the truck to leave. This software can be operated remotely.Web portal
Web application provides an easy and convenient way to work with the results. Offers modules for operators, managers and logistics companies. Allows to check and view results, leave comments, create reports and view detailed statistics about trucks, loads, quality and efficiency. The portal can be easily integrated with third-party and client solutions and ERP systems. Every function can be used from a handheld device, including 3D view.We are constantly working to improve the LoadMon solution and our software receives periodic updates with new features, modules, and improvements.
