Filling-port Position
Tank truck loading operations are fraught with challenges—from health hazards like dust and toxic gases to rising labor costs and high staff turnover. While many seek automation for a solution, true success requires unparalleled precision and reliability.
LuminWave’s ToF camera delivers exactly that. With millimeter-level accuracy and robust performance even in challenging conditions, it quickly identifies the filling-port’s position and shape, guiding the discharge nozzle into perfect alignment. Suitable for both solid materials like coal and ore, as well as liquids like hydrochloric acid and petroleum, our technology enables fully automated, efficient, and safer loading operations.
