LiDAR technology is a key enabler for safety assurance, efficiency improvement, and intelligent operations

In the chemical industry, LiDAR technology is a key enabler for safety assurance, efficiency improvement, and intelligent operations. It is widely used in core processes—from the 3D digitalization of plant sites and monitoring of high-risk equipment and pipelines to the volumetric measurement of large storage tanks and automated truck loading—providing non-contact, high-precision spatial sensing solutions for this high-risk process sector.

Principles

The core principle involves emitting laser pulses and precisely measuring the time each pulse takes to reflect back from target objects, such as reaction towers, pipelines, or liquid surfaces, to obtain accurate distance data. Through high-speed rotational scanning, the system captures millions of spatial points per second, generating a high-resolution 3D point cloud model of the entire plant or specific equipment. This creates an accurate digital twin of the physical environment.

Functions

Key functions include: millimeter-level deformation monitoring of pressure vessels and pipe supports to enable predictive maintenance; precise calculation of liquid levels and volumes in raw material and product storage tanks for automated inventory management; and guiding automated logistics operations, such as unmanned forklifts or loading robots, in hazardous areas (e.g., explosion-proof zones). This significantly enhances intrinsic plant safety, asset management accuracy, and the level of automation.
