NextOre - Autonomous Load Sensing and Volume Measurement for High-Velocity Conveyor Systems

Start year: 2024

Summary: NextOre is seeking a system to monitor the load on a conveyor (e.g., rocks) using a depth sensor or LIDAR, which will estimate the height and total volume of material moving at 10m/s on the conveyor belt. The system needs to be portable, weather-resistant, and capable of operating on-site for a week, collecting and processing data autonomously.
