  1. The MVL Multi-Scanner System ACCURATE VOLUME MEASUREMENT OF BULK SOLIDS IN PRACTICALLY ANY KIND OF WIDE SILOS, OPEN BINS AND LARGE STORAGES Andy Foust, North America Executive Sales Director http://www.apm-solutions.com/Multi-Scanner-System-MVL APM Annual International Partners Conference

  2. System Components • System Controller • Multiple 3DLevelScanners Type MVL (minimum 2 units) • 3D Vision Software (setup and visualization) • 3DLinkPro for remote wireless access(Optional ) APM Annual International Partners Conference

  3. What is the Multi Scanner System? • The solution for wide silos, open bins and warehouses • Multiple 3DLevelScanners cover the entire surface area • APM Multi Scanner Controller is (1) synchronizing and (2) merging the measurements from the MVL units • 3D Vision software (client) enables users via a network to view real time measurement and combined 3D image of all silos in the plant • GPRS based support via 3DLinkPro available • Recommended way to connect and support the system is through an ethernet connection APM Annual International Partners Conference

  4. How Do We Position The Scanners? APM Annual International Partners Conference

  5. Positioning Multiple Scanners • The new Advanced Locator should be used when positioning multiple scanners of MVL system • For silos larger than 30 meters we recommend to consult APM support department APM Annual International Partners Conference

  6. Communication Methods All 3DLevelScanners type MVL in the system are connected in daisy chain to the Multi-Scanner Controller with RS485 cable. The output of the data (volume, min/max level, mass, visualization, temperature) from the Controller can be delivered in the following methods: • 4… 20 mA –Volume only • RS485 / Modbus / Profibus (via converter) • Ethernet (TCP/IP) • GSM / GPRS (using APM 3DLinkPro) APM Annual International Partners Conference

  7. System Overview • 3 Types of connections • Locally via UI (monitor, keyboard, mouse) • LAN via PCs in the local area network • WAN via the internet (VPN, remote, etc) APM Annual International Partners Conference

  8. What Is In It For You? • Accurate, non-contact, continuous volume measurement and mass calculation • Measures practically any kind of material in any kind of storage • 3D Visualization – “what you see is what you have” APM Annual International Partners Conference

  9. What Is In It For You? (contd.) • Inventory control – total volume, min level, max level, weight (using bulk density linearization) • Historical data including signal traceability • Remote monitoring • Remote support, calibration and software upgrades • Automatic material handling • Maintenance-free APM Annual International Partners Conference

  10. Where Do We Install It? • Coal bunkers at power plants • Large domes storing raw sugar • Large silos storing corn for ethanol manufacturing • Large clinkers and other very large silos at cement manufacturing plants • Large silos storing soy beans for production of seed oil • Large open bins and warehouse storing animal feed • Wide warehouses, open bins and domes storing fertilizers (phosphates, potassium, etc.) • Wide stockpiles of lime stones, copper, iron and other ores • Large domes for fertilizers in ports • Wide open bins storing salt • Very large silos storing various grains APM Annual International Partners Conference

  11. Examples Of MVL Installations Worldwide APM Annual International Partners Conference
