Industry
Stockpile and volumes
Open yards from the air, covered sheds on foot. Repeatable volumes you can put in a reconciliation.
This job
Measuring what is on the ground
What gets handed over
A volume, the surface, and a comparison to last cycle. Keep the base and the toe definition written down.
Notes
Watch these
The base
Error lives in the toe and the pad, not the sensor.
Same three things
Coordinate system, base surface, toe definition. Change one and the month-on-month number breaks.
The back wall
Unseen volume against a wall is guessed volume.
