Case study: Prevention of material accumulations at risk of collapse
MVV Industriepark Gersthofen GmbH operates a complex chemical production and service site in Gersthofen, north of Augsburg. To best serve the eleven resident companies, a specialized infrastructure has been established. A crucial component of this infrastructure is the Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) cogeneration plant, essential for providing process steam to the industrial park. Here, waste is thermally treated and converted into energy. Ensuring optimal operation of the facility requires knowledge of the location and quantity of waste in the waste bunker. This is also critical for safety reasons, as undiscovered material accumulations on the bunker walls can pose a significant safety risk to operations.
To minimize this risk and optimize waste distribution, MVV Industriepark Gersthofen employs Blickfeld’s Volume Monitoring solution, incorporating Smart LiDAR sensors and a data dashboard. This provides the company with precise volume data and real-time warnings about bunker contents, enabling improved inventory control.
