RVS/MVS
Rail/Mobile volumetric scanner
The Trakblaze RVS (Rail Volume Scanner) is a rail industry-specific load volume scanner system that is revolutionising the load out speed, accuracy and volumetric measurements of each train ore wagon. RVS uses customised, multithreaded technology through advanced ‘auto scan’ software, developed specifically to allow direct acquisition of data from high speed 2D lasers over an IP network.
The custom developed algorithms built into the RVS software uses captured data to generate load volume scanner information and measurement parameters for each train ore car/wagon.
The immediate results of the RVS allows for improved productivity through full-time monitoring of mission-critical data.
The goal of the software (which runs on a Microsoft™ Windows platform) is for fast calculation and transportation of real-time feedback and key metrics, to optimise loading of each and every rail car or wagon.
In turn, this assists operators in the fine-tuning of loading operations, and it provides near real time outputs.
MVS – Mobile Volumetric Scanner
The Trakblaze MVS (Mobile Volumetric Scanner) combines the volumetric scanning technology of both the RVS and TVS, but combines this with the versatility of being mobile and therefore easily relocatable to any required location.
The trailer is designed with a 2 stage lifting boom to ensure that the optimal height is reached for the specific vehicle being measured. It comes complete with outrigger legs, stability guy ropes and lock out positions to ensure that the scan head is completely stable when the scanner is fully erected.
The operations console is two-part; one side controls the easy to operate electrical controls for the heavy duty electrical screw actuators, thus enabling safe and methodical assembly. The other side provides the data collection point on the intuitive touchscreen PC, using the Trakblaze volumetric scanning software.
After slowly passing beneath the scan head, all the information derived from the recent scan can be viewed immediately and is recorded with the memory of the controller.
The Trakblaze MVS is our most versatile solution when portability is required to measure the volume of your trucks or Trains.
