Filling-port Position

The bulk loading of tank trucks faces numerous challenges. Dust and toxic gases pose significant health risks to workers, while frequent driver turnover and high labor costs also impede industry development. To address these issues, many companies have introduced advanced automation technologies to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

LuminWave’s ToF (Time-of-Flight) camera, with its millimeter-level measurement accuracy and minimal susceptibility to environmental interference, can rapidly capture and analyze the position and shape of the tank truck’s loading port. It provides precise guidance to align the discharge nozzle with the loading port. This technology is highly adaptable for both solid materials (such as coal and ore) and liquid materials (such as hydrochloric acid and petroleum) during the loading process, thus facilitating the automation of tank truck loading operations.
