With the rapid development of the national economy, the number of storage tanks continues to increase, and has become a major basic key equipment for oil and gas resources and chemical material storage. At the same time, storage tanks are also developing towards larger sizes, which puts forward higher requirements for tank volume measurement in storage and transportation projects. At present, commonly used measurement methods at home and abroad include the girth method, the optical reference line method, the optical measurement method with guide rails, and the three-dimensional laser scanning measurement method. Station scanner, this kind of instrument has the advantages of high precision, high density, and long distance measurement, but it also has problems such as low efficiency, frequent station changes, and large amount of splicing in the office.

This guide outlines a user-friendly stockpile measurement solution, covering recommended equipment, key tools, workflows, and volume calculation methods—designed to meet the needs of both large-scale and small/indoor stockpile scenarios.

In the era of digital forestry and dual carbon goals, accurate, efficient, and compliant data collection has become the cornerstone of ecological conservation, carbon sink accounting, and forest resource management. Traditional forestry surveys—relying on manual operations and simple tools—are struggling to meet modern demands: safety hazards on sloped terrain, missing data due to dense canopy occlusion, disjointed spatial information, and lengthy processing cycles. Enter the SLAM 200 high-precision handheld 3D laser scanner—a revolutionary solution that redefines what’s possible in forestry data acquisition.
