Stockpile Measurement Breakthrough: BYD Project Achieves <1% Error — LiDAR Scanning Enables Precise Daily Inbound and Usage Accounting

Introduction

—Upgrading new-energy feedstock control: high-precision stocktaking that solves “can’t measure accurately, can’t control tightly” for lithium ore.

As the lithium battery industry grows rapidly, lithium ore—as a core strategic resource—directly shapes cost and competitiveness through how finely it is controlled. For a long time, lithium ore yards have faced inaccurate inbound accounting, unclear consumption statistics, and fuzzy inventory. Traditional tape measuring and weighbridge methods often err by 3%–10%, cannot support daily inbound/outbound reconciliation, and leave monthly/quarterly statistics without a reliable basis—easily driving cost overruns and chaotic production scheduling.

With policies such as the Guidelines for Building Smart Mines in the Nonferrous Metals Industry (Trial) and the Action Plan to Raise Standards and Lead Optimization and Upgrading of the Raw Materials Industry (2025–2027), China explicitly encourages mines to accelerate digital and intelligent transformation, promote 3D laser scanning stocktaking and high-precision inventory technology, and improve resource data control. Against this backdrop, Shiju Network used the Shiju Network-LiDAR LiDAR volume measurement system to build a stockpile-measurement benchmark at a BYD lithium ore yard—solving feedstock metering with ~1% error and providing a replicable model for new-energy feedstock control.

Industry pain points: traditional metering slows fine lithium-ore management

Lithium ore is high-priced and high value-density. Bulk stockpile measurement has long relied on manual volume estimates and weighbridges:

• Large error: traditional methods err by 3%–10%, distorting data;
• Low efficiency: daily inbound/outbound accounting is impossible; data lags and cannot close daily;
• Hard to manage: without precise yard inventory, inbound, consumption, and stock books do not reconcile;
• High risk: inaccurate cost accounting, frequent inventory gains/losses, audit exposure, and room for human interference or fraud.

The industry urgently needs a non-stop, non-contact, high-precision, and auditable intelligent stocktaking solution.

Measured results: BYD third-party acceptance with error stably ≤1%

On May 18, 2026, Shiju Network worked with a third-party surveying organization. Licensed mid-level engineers used a handheld laser scanner to perform third-party acceptance on the Shiju Network LiDAR stockpile volume measurement system installed at the BYD lithium ore yard.

Verification method: Trimble RealWorks, 0.2 m grid method, two scans of the pile (upper and lower), overlaid and matched without layering; non-contact scanning without stopping production; suited to dusty / outdoor conditions; true-color 3D point-cloud modeling.

Zoomed 3D grid morphology

• Operating conditions: non-contact scanning, no production stoppage, suited to dusty / outdoor environments, true-color 3D point-cloud modeling

• Acceptance data comparison:

Accuracy conclusion: overall error remains stably under 1%—far better than traditional methods. The system enables automatic, accurate daily accounting of lithium-ore inbound, consumption, and inventory, with real-time, traceable, and reviewable data and one-click digital ledgers.

Customer value: from “estimating” to “measuring accurately”—lower cost, lower risk, better management

For lithium ore / lithium battery / new-energy materials companies, production / finance / procurement leaders, and yard / mine / silo managers, the value is clear:

• Production: accurate daily inbound/outbound accounting supports scientific scheduling and avoids shortages or overstock;
• Finance: precise yard inventory makes cost transparent, reduces inventory gains/losses, and lowers audit risk;
• Management: digital ledgers, remote visualization, less manual intervention, and elimination of human measurement error.
