iDome

3D Inventory Control I Dead Stock Detection

3D INVENTORY DATA ANYWHERE

3D INVENTORY DATA ANYWHERE

iDome provides accurate and live 3D inventory control for all types of domes and ROM pads, adding value to a wide range of bulk material handling processes. Domes and ROM pads are critical buffer zones in bulk material handling processes and are essential for effectively connecting primary crushed ore to further process steps.

The iDome solution ensures reliable process control and automation of both the infeed and outfeed processes. It is the foundation for all future upstream and downstream automation and digitization.

 

The underlying robust and precise indurad radar technology makes iDome the reliable data source for material handling optimization/automation in any dome.

VOLUME MEASUREMENT

>99% precise volume mesurement

Multiple distributed radar sensors comprehensively cover the entire surface of the stockpile, or multiple bins allowing for real-time calculation of the actual volume with a refresh rate of approximately one minute for the entire stockpile.

The radar sensors generate a high-resolution image of the pile, enabling them to deliver inventory information with over 99% accuracy.

See the volume of your material at any time, including historical data. The data is available on a browser as well as on industrial interfaces.

FEEDER & RECLAIM CONTROL

volume and material height

iDome allows for the definition of rows of feeders or individual feeders, and subsequently calculates the total amount of available material, including dead stock, and the height of the material above each feeder.

 

This information holds significant importance in production scheduling and helps minimize feeder wear, as it enables the maintenance of a certain material bed on top, optimizing the overall feeding process.

DEAD STOCK / RATHOLE

measuring and reducing stuck / sticking material

The iDome solution allows an operator to visually detect dead stock and holes. This empowers operations to take timely actions against these issues before they escalate into critical problems.

Furthermore, the system offers valuable process data that aids in synchronizing pile loading and unloading activities. By optimizing this coordination, it reduces material compaction and minimizes increased stickiness that can lead to rat holes and larger than necessary dead stock. This holistic approach ensures better operational efficiency and prevents potential material handling challenges.

WARNINGS & ALARMS

set boundaries to your material

The system is equipped with the capability to define individual zones for supervision. Clients may use these to set alarms when material conditions exceed predefined limits. For instance, alarms can be triggered if the material is overfilled or underfilled.

These zones scan be conveniently set manually within the software. This flexibility ensures effective monitoring and timely alerts, safeguarding safety and operational integrity.
