In January 2008- Boral Orange Grove selected LSM Technologies / Orlaco Radio Frequency (RF) Camera System mounted on a Dump Truck / Silo Product Filling Station process. 

Before: 

Prior to the LSM Technologies / Orlaco Camera Viewing Solution installation the Driver would position the DTruck under one of the 4 x Chutes (there are two bays with 4 x Product Chutes / Bay).

Initially the Driver must guess the location of the DTruck under the Chute and then alight from the Vehicle to check the alignment. Each Chute is remote controlled and once there is a certain level of product in the DTruck the Driver must close the Chute, reposition the DTruck and then repeat this process until the DTruck is full. 

This process could subject the Driver to safety issues such as potential airborne sand / dirt, as well as effecting productivity as this was a slow process to fill each DTruck.

After:

The DTruck is installed with a RF Receiver and Heavy Duty LCD Monitor in the Cabin.

Mounted to the Silos are two (2) x RF Transmitters and CCCameras viewing all four (4) x Chutes in each Silo Bay.

Now when the DTruck comes within 100 metres of the Silo, the LCD Monitor in the cabin provides an image of the respective Silo Bay / Chute CCCamera- the Operator can switch between Cameras from the DTruck cabin so as to view the Chutes / Silos in either Bay.  

The Operator now quickly positions the DTruck and monitors the flow of Product and filling of the DTruck - all safely from within the cabin of the DTruck.

Of course- LSM Technologies standard Warranty of three (3) year or 20,000 operating hours applies.
