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.
The most accurate method of determining truck volume is to use a 3D volume scanner. Volumetric scanning is also often faster and more cost effective than traditional weighing or counting systems. Modern load volume scanning systems, like those provided by industry leader Loadscan, first take an empty reference scan of the truck bin and then measure it “full” to calculate actual volume of material loaded in the truck.
