Faster Isn’t Better if It’s Wrong

Speed comes at a cost

There’s been a lot of hype recently around the issue of speed in volumetric load scanning. Some suppliers love to show trucks moving rapidly under their scanners, often backed up by sped-up footage that looks slick on a website. The implied promise is simple: faster must be better.

But that’s not how it works.

In reality, speed comes at a cost. When loads are measured too quickly, accuracy slips. Tiny errors can stack up over time until, by the end of a shift or a month down the track, those mistakes are no longer ‘little’ and can impact production numbers, distort billing, and create compliance headaches. So when asking, “how fast is a volumetric load scanner?”, speed is only part of the picture — precision is what really counts.

Loadscan Doesn’t Play That Game

Yes, our systems have a fast-scan mode. But we’re very clear: we prefer trucks to pass at controlled speeds, often slower than the haul road limit. Why? Because every data point matters. Every scan must align with a reference, and every reading has to hold up under scrutiny. It’s not about being flashy – it’s about measurements you can rely on every load, every shift, every day.

The Trap of the ‘Speed Equals Efficiency’ Myth

It’s easy to fall for the idea that quicker scans save time and money, but the reality can be exactly the opposite. A flashy high-speed scan might look great on video, but if the dataset is unreliable, efficiency vanishes, leaving only questionable numbers and wasted effort. Quarries, mines, and construction sites don’t need spectacle—they need certainty. A single mis-measured truck might not seem significant, but errors across hundreds of loads add up quickly.

 

Why Loadscan Takes the Slower, Smarter Road

Loadscan scanners are built for density and precision. The hardware is robust, the software is constantly updated, and the system is designed to handle tough conditions—dust, rain, vibration, and other site challenges. The common denominator is this: slowing trucks slightly below haul road speed ensures rock-solid scans, precise alignment, and measurement accuracy that consistently delivers reliable results.

That’s why Loadscan has become the industry benchmark. Our certified +/-1% accuracy is repeatable and trusted worldwide.

The Bottom Line

Efficiency isn’t about shaving seconds off a scan. It’s about having data you can act on immediately, with confidence it’s correct. The real cost comes from errors, not a truck taking a few extra seconds.

While others chase the optics of speed, Loadscan sticks to what matters: scans that are consistent, verifiable, and accurate every time. Because in volumetric measurement, “fast but wrong” is useless. Operators need—and we deliver—accuracy that doesn’t flinch.

How volume scanning reshapes customer relationships 

volumetric scanning

Tracking material volumes across multiple sites is a constant challenge for civil and earthmoving operations. Disputes over load size, inconsistent ticketing systems, and unclear measurement methods often strain relationships between contractors, suppliers, and clients.

For The Kearney Companies, volumetric scanning has transformed this dynamic, providing transparency that customers now actively request.

Eliminating Disputes with Accurate Load Data

Before volumetric scanning, disagreements over delivered volumes were common. Now, the volume scanner removes the guesswork, creating a single source of truth for every load.

“There’s no dispute with suppliers because it’s exactly what they are getting paid for—averaging about 16.5yd³ per truck,” says Alan Payne.

Daily reporting has become central to operations. Even if suppliers lack their own scanner, The Kearney Companies provide a detailed breakdown of each load hauled the previous day.

“If a load wasn’t scanned, we calculate the daily average for billing purposes,” Payne explains.

Building Trust Through Transparent Reporting

Cross-referencing scanner data with traditional ticketing ensures accuracy and alignment. Suppliers increasingly adopt the scanner’s figures as the basis for invoices. In some cases, scanners are installed at supplier or customer sites to support full end-to-end transparency.

“Some clients now ask us to pay for material based on our load scanner data,” says Payne.

By providing daily reports of hauled yards and total cubic yards moved, The Kearney Companies have built a reputation for accuracy, fairness, and reliability.

The Bottom Line: Volumetric Scanning as a Business Asset

In environments where trust is currency, volumetric scanning has become one of the company’s most valuable tools. Accurate, real-time load reporting improves client relationships, reduces disputes, and ensures operational transparency.

With volumetric scanning, contractors and suppliers can finally work from a shared source of truth, enhancing efficiency and fostering stronger partnerships across the civil and earthmoving industries.

Delivering value beyond volume measurement 

At Macraes Mine in Otago, the Loadscan Mine Payload Scanner (MPS) has evolved from a volume-tracking tool into a quiet powerhouse of operational insight. Senior Geologist Graham Gibson has watched the technology reshape how the team thinks about efficiency, not just in terms of tonnes moved, but in how every truck, operator, and load performs across the day. 

Loadscan Mine Payload Scanner

Tackling carryback head-on

Carryback might seem like a small frustration, but at a mine of Macraes’ scale, even a modest amount of material left behind adds up fast. Lost payload, wasted fuel, disrupted haul cycles – it all bites into productivity. The MPS, Graham says, has become their early-warning system. 

“I think that’s one of the main benefits for the Loadscan system is just any truck with carry back in it, it’s just getting it out straight away.” 

A level pad beneath the scanner ensures every scan is consistent, helping the team spot issues long before they become costly patterns. 

 

Seamless integration into daily workflow

What's made the biggest difference is how naturally the scanner fits into the fleet's daily rhythm. Drivers approach at a controlled speed, pass beneath the unit, and continue on – scanned, verified, and back to work without disruption. After tipping, another pass confirms whether any carryback remains. 

"So they'll come up to the scanner, slow down, get an even scan, even speed all the way through…" 

The result is a simple loop that quietly reinforces accuracy and discipline throughout the operation. 

Beyond the surface: Data that drives efficiency

While the MPS was originally installed for load volume measurement, it has opened up far more possibilities. Graham notes how the data reveals loading patterns that would otherwise go unseen. These are issues like uneven distribution, off-centre loading, and the effect these can have on the truck’s chassis. 

“It puts weight on the chassis where it shouldn’t, forward or back, side to side, and quite often, if it’s loaded heavy on one side, there’s actually room for dirt on the other side.” 

Insights like these are driving conversations around improving utilisation, protecting equipment, and smoothing out inefficiencies that accumulate over time. 

 

Empowering loader operators with 3D load profiling

The team also sees major opportunity in the scanner’s 3D load profiling. Real-time visuals of each load allow trainers and operators to assess balance, detect empty space, and refine their technique. 

“It’s one thing that we can use it more in the future is for loader education. Uh, one thing I really like about the newer software is the 3D load profiler…” 

It’s a tool that blends performance improvement with long-term sustainability. 

 

Efficiency gains that benefit everyone

For Graham, the value is clear: reducing carryback means more material delivered, fewer wasted litres of diesel, and a lighter environmental footprint. At Macraes, the Loadscan MPS is no longer just a scanner – it’s a catalyst for a smarter, more deliberate, and more productive mining operation.

Tricky Material Measurement Made Simple with Loadscan

Handling materials like soil, wet fill, or organics can be challenging. Moisture content, compaction, and density fluctuations make traditional weighing or estimation methods unreliable. The result? Inconsistent load data, invoicing disputes, and inefficiencies that reduce both time and profit.

With Loadscan volume scanners, operators and site managers gain total visibility of every cubic metre moved. Our Load Volume Scanner (LVS) and Conveyor Volume Scanner (CVS) deliver accurate, consistent measurements—even for the most unpredictable materials.

The Problem with Tricky Materials

A truckload of damp mulch can weigh far more than the same volume when dry. Wet fill behaves similarly, making weight-based calculations unreliable. Traditional systems like weighbridges or onboard scales cannot account for these variations. Bucket-counts or “by-eye” estimates often lead to errors in invoicing, reporting, and load management.

How Loadscan Solves Tricky Material Measurement

Loadscan LVS and CVS focus on volume, not weight. Using advanced LiDAR scanning technology, the LVS accurately measures the true volume of each truckload, regardless of shape, size, or moisture content.

For continuous operations, the CVS monitors conveyor throughput, providing accurate, real-time volume data. Operators can track production, adjust feed rates, set batching, and monitor output efficiently.

By measuring volume instead of weight, both systems provide a transparent, auditable record of material movement that is unaffected by density or moisture.

tricky material measurement

Smarter Operations and Accurate Invoicing

Every load measured by Loadscan is logged and stored, ready for reporting or invoicing. Contractors can prove exactly how much material was delivered or removed, reducing disputes and improving transparency.

Operators gain insights into:

  • Material movement efficiency

  • Cycle times and production rates

  • Load consistency and distribution

Whether it’s compost in a recycling facility, wet fill on a construction site, or soil removal during earthworks, Loadscan ensures accountability and accurate reporting from loading through invoicing.

The Bottom Line

Using Loadscan volume scanners, operators can finally remove the guesswork from tricky material measurement. Accurate volumetric data empowers better business decisions, improves operational efficiency, and ensures complete transparency across every project.

Optimizing Mining Operations with Pitram and Loadscan Integration at CSA Cobar

The CSA Mine, operated by Metals Acquisition Corp (MAC) in Cobar, New South Wales, is one of Australia’s highest-grade copper mines. At 1.9 kilometres deep, it is the country’s second-deepest copper mine, producing around 40,000 tonnes of copper annually. Accurate data is critical to optimize mining operations and improve efficiency.

At CSA, the Business Improvement (BI) team focuses on leveraging advanced tools to track material and support data-driven decisions. One key innovation is the Pitram and Loadscan integration, which enhances material tracking, fleet management, and operational visibility.

The Challenge: Traditional Truck Factor Estimates

Before this integration, CSA relied on truck factors—estimates based on truck size and load—to measure material movement. This method posed several challenges:

  • Inaccurate load data: Estimates could lead to errors in tonnage reporting, inventory, and scheduling.

  • Limited visibility: Mine control teams could not verify loads in real-time.

  • Operational inefficiencies: Lack of precise data made fleet optimization difficult, leading to higher fuel costs and equipment wear.

The Solution: Pitram and Loadscan Integration

The integration connects Loadscan’s Mine Payload Scanner (MPS) with Micromine Pitram. As trucks pass through the scanner at the 9040 level underground, advanced 3D laser scanning captures the exact volume of material in each load.

This volumetric data is sent via an API to Pitram, which calculates tonnage, tracks truck performance, and generates KPIs like Truck Kilometres per Tonne (TKM). Operators now receive accurate, real-time data instead of relying on estimates.

Additionally, Loadscan monitors haulback—material left in the truck bin—to ensure the next load is clean and maximize efficiency.

Advanced Features: Dashboards and Visual Monitoring

The integration includes a vision camera in the Loadscan scanner, giving operators real-time visibility of each truck load. Dashboards display:

  • Loadscan Analytics: Real-time volumetric data for precise material tracking.

  • Target Tracking: Monitor load efficiency, weight, and TKM goals.

  • Live Camera Feed: Visually inspect truck material for quality and verification.

  • Performance Insights: Track fleet utilization, trip times, and operational bottlenecks.

These features improve decision-making, operational control, and transparency.

Benefits: Accuracy, Efficiency, and Control

The Pitram and Loadscan integration delivers significant benefits:

  • Accurate load data: Volumetric scanning eliminates truck factor estimates.

  • Improved efficiency: Real-time insights optimize fleet performance and resource use.

  • Enhanced visibility: Operators can monitor material and make immediate adjustments.

  • Data-driven decision-making: Access to KPIs allows proactive management of trucks and loads.

By combining volumetric scanning with advanced fleet management, CSA Cobar sets a benchmark for data-driven mining. The Pitram and Loadscan integration improves load accuracy, fleet efficiency, and operational transparency, reducing costs while boosting performance.

Loadscan Launches LoadVision Camera System to Enhance Load Volume Scanner Technology

Loadscan, the global leader in volumetric measurement, has launched the LoadVision camera system. This new camera module adds real-time imaging to the company’s Load Volume Scanner (LVS). As a result, customers who work with aggregate, soil, sand, gravel, cleanfill and other bulk materials can gain clearer, more reliable load data.

Clear Visual Records for Every Load

The LoadVision camera system captures images and video as each truck passes through the scanner. These visuals create a complete record of the load and help remove uncertainty from the process. Because of this, customers can resolve disputes faster and improve accountability across their sites.

In addition, the images strengthen site security. Each load now includes a visual record that matches the volumetric data, which increases trust and helps prevent mistakes or tampering.

Real-Time Data Sync with the MyScanner Platform

LoadVision works hand-in-hand with MyScanner, Loadscan’s cloud platform. The system syncs every image and video clip with the corresponding scan data. Users can then view, download or share these files through the cloud dashboard.

Furthermore, LoadVision also supports live viewing. A third-party mobile app provides a real-time camera feed, which gives teams full visibility even when they are off-site. This feature helps operations stay consistent and transparent across remote or busy locations.

Greater Accuracy, Better Oversight, and Stronger Compliance

By combining visual records with 3D volumetric scans, the LoadVision camera system gives operations a deeper level of confidence. It improves load accuracy, strengthens proof for invoicing, and reduces the chance of disputes.

It also supports quality checks for cleanfill, which helps teams stay compliant with industry standards. Overall, the system delivers clearer information, smoother workflows, and stronger operational control.

“The LoadVision camera system is another step forward in our goal to deliver smarter and more efficient tools for our customers,” said Carey West, CEO of Loadscan. “This upgrade gives businesses more clarity and confidence in every load.”

Easy Integration for New and Existing LVS Units

LoadScan designed the LoadVision camera system as a flexible add-on. New scanners can include the module from day one, and existing scanners can be upgraded without major changes. This makes the system a practical option for operations that want better verification without replacing their equipment.

Micromine and Loadscan Partner to Deliver Real-Time, Precision Payload Management

Micromine, a global leader in mining technology, has partnered with Loadscan, the leader in volumetric scanning. This new Micromine Pitram Loadscan integration connects Pitram’s real-time mine control system with Loadscan’s Mine Payload Scanner (MPS). As a result, mining operations can now capture and log haulage data automatically and with far greater accuracy.

This partnership gives mine operators faster insight into load movement, clearer reporting, and more confidence in their payload data.

Automated Payload Logging for Higher Accuracy

The integration removes manual data entry. Because of this, mine teams no longer risk human error in their payload records. Operators can trust the information they receive and respond to it quickly.

“With this partnership, we are empowering mine operators to access the most accurate haulage data possible,” said Brendon Shadlow, Strategic Product Manager at Micromine. “By eliminating manual data entry and potential human errors, we are helping operators make smarter decisions that drive efficiency and improve asset performance.”

The system links Micromine Pitram to Loadscan’s MyScanner platform. Each scanner has its own serial number, which allows sites to organise and access their data securely.

Real-Time Reporting Through Volumetric Scanning

Whenever a truck passes a Loadscan MPS unit, the system captures volumetric data and sends it straight to Pitram. Pitram then calculates weight using material type and specific gravity (SG). It also logs the payload event. When the truck dumps material, the system updates the record instantly. Consequently, operators receive accurate, real-time haulage information at every stage.

This full chain of visibility helps teams analyse fleet performance and track material movement with confidence.

Better Visibility, Control, and Efficiency

Because the data is reliable and immediate, mine sites can adjust their operations faster. They can improve equipment utilisation, streamline processing, and reduce costs.

Carey West, Managing Director of Loadscan, explained: “Integrating our volumetric scanning technology with Micromine Pitram creates a powerful solution for mining operators.
