成功的食谱：3D激光扫描坦克检查

作者：瓦格纳·曼努格（Wagner Manurung）

检查45米高罐面粉的最佳方法是什么？并计算出巨大的库存中的面粉？这些是项目控制者Liew Teik Wei及其在PT Wilmar印度尼西亚的团队所面临的挑战。该公司是威尔玛国际有限公司，亚洲领先的农业综合企业小组。威尔玛（Wilmar）经营着一个综合的农业综合企业模型，该模型涵盖了农业商品业务的整个价值链，从耕种，加工，商品到制造各种农产品，包括大米和小麦粉。bob综合app下载它拥有广泛的分销网络，涵盖了中国，印度，印度尼西亚的五家工厂以及其他50个国家和地区的存在。

Processing agricultural products at this scale involves storing huge quantities of produce in tanks and silos. Upkeep of these enormous vessels is a serious business. The tanks are a critical financial resource for the company as well as being subject to international safety standards. At PT Wilmar Nabati Indonesia, Liew Teik Wei’s team must regularly inspect all above-ground storage tanks, reporting to management the measurements that indicate the integrity of the structures. Previously, tank inspection was a time-consuming manual process.

Faster inspections without any compromises

PT Wilmar Indonesia希望找到一种方法来提高坦克检查过程的效率。更快，但不需要更多的人力。新的解决方案不能损害数据的准确性或团队的安全性 - 理想情况下都可以改善两者。

Teik Wei已经在业务的其他部分中是Leica Geosystems用户选择实施激光扫描。他为团队配备了Leica RTC360laser scanners to digitally scan the silos andCyclone 3DRsoftware for data analysis. The RTC360 3D laser scanner has a measuring rate of up to two million points per second and with an advanced High-Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging system, coloured 3D point clouds can be completed in under two minutes.

Reality capture has transformed inspections. They can now capture information on 15 tanks per day compared to manual inspections, which take three to four days per tank. That’s a staggering 4,500% increase in efficiency.

全面的数据捕获以满足法规

手动检查很耗时，因为要符合国际坦克检查标准（API 650/653），您需要准确收集多个数据点，包括直径测量，圆度，坦克的垂直度和内容的结算。这是衡量生产量的补充，这对业务来说是重要的信息。

通过捕获坦克的3D图像，RTC360扫描仪会在几分钟内收集此信息，Teik Wei的团队可以从点云中提取它。他解释说：“该分析过程是由Cyclone 3DR软件完成的，该软件专门根据国际标准进行校准和筒仓检查。”

易于使用的软件减少培训时间

由于该项目引入3D激光扫描的目的是提高效率，因此新技术无法对团队的时间提出额外的需求。Teik Wei和他的团队发现该解决方案易于使用，培训很少：“ Leica Geosystems产品易于设置和运行，因此我们不需要太多时间才能学习。”bob综合app下载

轻巧的便携式激光扫描仪对团队的工作方式产生了积极影响。需要在现场进行检查，以释放时间进行数据分析进行检查。Teik Wei解释说：“ [我们在人力资源上有一个限制来进行数据处理。使用RTC360在使用的RTC360上很少需要进行现场工作（只有一个或两个），而其他团队成员可以在办公室处理数据。”

Improved safety and fewer interruptions to production

以前，在使用活动机械的工厂区域，进行物理进行测量的需求可能会破坏。3D激光扫描是一种非侵入性技术，可从远处捕获测量。附近的机械不需要关闭，也没有污染的风险。这使激光扫描更安全的操作员，并且对业务更有生产力。

As well as using the RTC360 for tank inspections, Teik Wei’s team have been using them for stockpile calculations, where the ability to measure from a distance has been a real benefit: “We get accuracy on the calculation and it’s easy to proceed, so we have no issue anymore with high or large stockpiles. Previously, we used total stations and faced a difficult process in the field. Now, we are glad that we don’t necessarily need to climb the stockpile of the flour to measure the volume!.”

使用RTC360激光扫描仪和Cyclone 3DR软件进行坦克检查，这对于PT Wilmar Indonesia来说是成功的。不仅满足了提高效率的目标，而且3D扫描使Teik Wei的团队更容易向管理层向管理层报告维护和汇编其年度审核。

Teik Wei says, “It helps enable easy silo maintenance, changing conventional data into 3D data, creating clear reports on every angle of capturing data in the field. In the end, it helps PT Wilmar management to see real conditions in 3D data. The management team now does not need to go to the field to check the factory condition.” It is all there in the data-rich output of the 3D scans.
