Material Level Detection

Using Benewake LiDAR, you can easily get the real-time level data of the material in the silo anytime and anywhere, so that you don't need to climb the silo to inspect the silo, which protects your personal safety and also reduces human errors to improve the accuracy of silo inspection.

By using near-infrared ToF (Time of Flight) technology, we can offer non-contact continuous level detection and provide an ultra wide range of equipment options from 8m to 350m to meet the majority of grain and feed silos. The LiDAR is equipped with a unique dust-removal wiper, which easily solves the problem of dirt and ensures stable ranging performance even in dirty scenarios.

How do you check the material level in your silos? Do you get it with your eyes by climbing to the top of silo which is more than ten meters high? Do you want to know the material level in the silo while sitting in the office?
