Using 3-D laser scanning technology can save time and money in retrofitting or building a grain handling facility, and the technology is continually improving and coming down in price.
Ross McEllhiney is the director of operations and safety for Zen-Noh Grain Corp. and has many years of experience using 3-D laser scanning technology for design and engineering of grain handling facilities.
The technology allows for the construction of a virtual facility that can be evaluated for accuracy down to millimeters before any equipment is manufactured and put in place.
