Aggregates & Quarries
Material is moved throughout the day, but survey-based inventory data is rarely available. Sodex continuously maps the terrain while the machine is in operation and uses this data to determine inventory levels, so your team can make decisions based on up-to-date figures.

Enabling operational teams to know their numbers without depending on external resources.
In quarries and material handling yards, material is moved around all day long. However, stockpile surveys are conducted only very rarely and serve more for accounting purposes than as a basis for operational decisions. Operational team members have to rely on estimates and have few opportunities to collect data themselves. Sodex handles the entire process of surveying the site and analyzing the data to provide inventory data within minutes. This empowers the operational team to make better decisions based on the available data.

Trust in data is the foundation for good decisions. Sodex increases confidence by updating numbers several times a day.
Material is produced, moved and sold every day. The information used to track it is not always captured at the same pace and leading to massive gaps.
Avoid Write-offs
By conducting high-frequency measurements of the actual stockpile, values are continuously monitored and corrected early on.
Identify risks early
When external resources need to be procured, identifying a material shortage early on is the best way to save money.
Full on-site control
On-site staff have full control over when and how data is collected without relying on external resources.
Consistent data source
Different methods, people or timing can make it harder to compare one stockpile review with another. Sodex captures a consistent data source.
Safer way to survey
Team members do not need to climb piles to survey them and there is no need to drive around just for a survey, as the wheel loader with a scanning unit can take care of it.
Full digital twin, endless options
Due to the fact that all areas are being captured with the LiDAR scanner the data can also be used for haul road analytics or checking berm conditions.
Capture stockpile information while the work is happening.
The SDX-Compact captures terrain and stockpile information while loaders or other vehicles and machines work. That gives teams a repeatable way to collect stockpile volume updates without arranging a separate visit for every time information is needed or relying on estimated numbers. The captured information is then available just minutes later in SDX-Cloud, where teams can retrieve stockpile volumes in dashboards.
SDX-Cloud can use the pile’s measured volume and assign a density to predefined stockpiles. With those inputs in place, teams can access configured stockpile information and use it for decision-making and reporting.

What our customers say about us.
“The loaders are just busy bees running around the jobsite all the time. It's good to have a live count of stuff instead of a snapshot in time.”

“The next step up from what GPS and drone data has been is this: we're getting info multiple times a day, not just periodically through the year. That's the key with Sodex Innovations.”

FAQs
Sodex Innovations combines machine-mounted 3D scanning with stockpile analysis in SDX-Cloud. As equipped machines move through the site, they capture stockpile surfaces, and sync the automatically to SDX-Cloud, providing updated volume measurements to support inventory planning, production decisions, and communication about available material.
