Blickfeld introduces QbVolume – the all-in-one solution for precise volume monitoring
QbVolume was specifically developed for applications in raw materials management, production, and logistics. Whether bulk materials, granulates, or pallets, the sensor determines the volumes of a wide range of material piles and goods in real time and with high precision. It supports companies with storage and transport processes that depend on accurate volume information, for example in the construction industry, mining, waste management, or distribution centers.
Based on extensive experience from real-world customer projects in which Blickfeld sensors have already been successfully used for volume measurement, QbVolume has now emerged as a product that combines hardware, software specifically designed for volume applications, and an intuitive dashboard for data visualization in a compact sensor.
- On-device data processing
- Robust design for operation under all lighting and weather conditions
- Power over Ethernet (PoE)
- IP67-certified housing
- Comprehensive range of accessories: mounting brackets, cables, weather protection roof
The integrated Blickfeld software has been purposefully further developed for volume measurement and monitoring. It converts the captured 3D LiDAR data directly on the device into reliable volume values. Virtual, freely definable measurement zones allow adaptation to individual application scenarios.
By fusing multiple LiDAR sensors, even large storage areas or complex measurement environments can be covered. An integrated dashboard clearly visualizes all data and enables immediate analysis.
