Stockpile Monitoring
Our Clients
Total Stockpile Visibility & Management 24/7
From the world’s agricultural centres to the largest mine sites, VERIDAPT real-time solutions are deployed to improve the way stockpile inventory is monitored, managed and safeguarded.
VERIDAPT’s LiDAR-driven inventory management platform is designed for automated real-time monitoring of agricultural and bulk commodities stockpiles, allowing for continuous inventory measurement, adjustment and reconciliation.
This highly reliable and total transparency inventory solution automates the entire bulk stockpile management process.
Cut Stockpile Costs
Businesses that deploy AdaptVISION reduce costs associated with processes such as inventory monitoring, inventory reconciliation, and record keeping. This ultimately improves the bottom-line.
VERIDAPT technology leads to greater efficiencies in operations and logistics such as: optimising storage distribution; accurately monitoring production inputs and yield and providing for better intel when best to buy and sell stock.
VERIDAPT’s stockpile monitoring technology represents a major leap from existing solutions, which only allow for periodic physical inspections and mitigates the risk of misappropriation and fraud.
Plug & Play Hardware
Proprietary AdaptVISION hardware is designed to monitor fertiliser, grain and other stockpiled commodities in real time across a range of use-cases.
The robust monitoring equipment features cameras and LiDAR technology. It is designed to operate in dusty, harsh and challenging environments
AdaptVISION is engineered for plug and play within 48 hours and eliminates the need for manual inspections, operating in even the harshest storage environments.
Smart Software
VERIDAPT’s AdaptIQ software automatically records relevant data, such as live, real-time stock in stockpiles and live movement of stock to and from the storage facility.
AdaptIQ software provides reconciliation of actuals vs inventory and allows for viewing and reconciling 24/7 on site or remotely.
AdaptIQ generates custom reports and provides detailed views of transactions, including time, place and volumes.

Real-time inventory Measurements
AdaptVISION stockpile monitoring technology brings unprecedented real time visibility, enabling data-driven decisions to best manage operations.
The scanners capture detailed data at several points throughout the day, and immediately send it to the cloud for processing. Proprietary processing algorithms extract the inventory amounts and movements automatically.
VERIDAPT’s secure cloud platform ensures a detailed view of all inventory movements. Powerful reporting engine capabilities generate useful pre-configured or custom reports, such as daily reconciliation or month- end stock on hand statements. Data can be fed into ERP systems via API connections.
VERIDAPT’s proprietary technology detects unusual changes to inventory to flag suspicious or unexpected movements. It picks up long term reconciliation error trends and identifies when inventories drop below a minimum threshold.
Stitching
Joining images from various sensors in different locations and orientations. The colour comes from cameras, merging lidar data and camera data for richer scan.
Filtering
The data inside the relevant bin is then extracted based on algorithms to concentrate on an area of interest.
Removing artefacts
Artefacts that can affect the volume calculation are removed and estimated. E.g. small gaps, or the filling artefact above the pile.
Estimating blind regions
The large gaps in the data where the sensor cannot see are then filled in. This is done by using the visible data to predict the pile shape in the blind regions.
Comparison
Captured data versus blind-spot prediction (at boundaries). The image shows how the system with only one lidar/camera kit can accurately estimate the surface of blind spots.
Estimating volume
The volume of the processed surface is then estimated relative to the ground and the surrounding walls.
Comparison
Raw data overlaid with processed data to improve the model with every new scan.
