Empowering a New Era of Intelligent Bulk Material Handling! SOLIDAT SLDL5300 3D Radar Solution: Setting a New Industry Benchmark for Technology
Jan 05, 2026| 
In bulk material handling scenarios, extreme working conditions and safety risks have always constrained industry upgrading and development. Complex environments such as high dust, rain, snow, frost, and strong corrosion can easily cause traditional measurement equipment to fail. Manual operations face safety hazards such as equipment collisions and high-altitude work, while unplanned equipment downtime directly leads to huge economic losses. Based on years of industry technical accumulation, SOLIDAT has deeply integrated FMCW radar technology with 3D scanning imaging technology to create the SLDL5300 3D Radar Solution. With core technological strength, it overcomes full-scenario operational challenges and provides core support for industry automation upgrading.
The SLDL5300 3D Radar Solution builds a full-link guarantee system for automated bulk material handling with multi-dimensional technological advantages. Equipped with SOLIDAT's proprietary high-performance radar sensors, it achieves millisecond-level collaboration with the GNSS global navigation satellite system. It features a wide temperature adaptation range of -40℃~70℃ and an IP66 industrial protection rating, enabling stable operation in extreme working conditions such as high dust, high humidity, and corrosive gases without interference from environmental media. Its radar wavelength is precisely optimized to penetrate tiny particles for accurate target detection. Compared with traditional laser systems, its measurement stability in harsh environments is improved by more than 30%, with a data accuracy rate of up to 99.8%, ensuring that the equipment's mean time between failures (MTBF) is significantly ahead of industry standards.
The solution adopts a modular architecture design, integrating a core functional matrix including collision warning, high-precision equipment positioning, intelligent loading assistance, remote control, and fully automated operation. By deploying multi-dimensional radar sensors at key nodes such as both sides of ship loader and unloader booms and around discharge ports, it achieves 360° horizontal full-area scanning and ±90° pitch precision detection. It generates real-time 3D environment models, dynamically checks collision risks, completely eliminates operational blind spots, and avoids safety hazards to personnel and high-value port equipment from the source. Equipped with a self-developed 3D hatch intelligent recognition algorithm, the system can automatically extract hatch contour features, plan optimal loading paths, and real-time monitor material flow status and 3D stockpile morphology. It achieves high-speed data transmission through multi-protocol interfaces such as RS485, 4-20mA analog, and Bluetooth. Backend imaging software accurately calculates material volume, weight, and level height, with measurement accuracy controlled within ±2%, improving loading efficiency by more than 40% and achieving significant growth in material throughput.
The SLDL5300 Solution is based on SOLIDAT's independently developed core industrial automation framework and is equipped with a highly stable Linux operating system. Abandoning the high maintenance costs and compatibility risks of traditional Windows systems, it ensures 7x24 hours of continuous and stable equipment operation. Its flexible modular upgrade path supports phased deployment according to customers' actual operational needs: initially, a basic safety protection system can be built with collision avoidance sensors; in the medium term, 3D scanning and intelligent loading assistance functions can be upgraded; ultimately, a closed-loop full-process automation for loading and unloading can be achieved. This effectively reduces initial investment pressure and adapts to the digital transformation rhythm of enterprises of different scales. Currently, this solution has been successfully implemented in multiple key global projects such as African mines, Australian ports, and Brazilian bulk terminals. With excellent environmental adaptability and operational stability, it has won high recognition and widespread praise from industry customers.
"The SOLIDAT SLDL5300 Solution helps customers shorten loading cycles, improve terminal turnover rates, and build a comprehensive safety protection system through technological innovation - even in high dust, extreme weather, or no-light environments, our products can still maintain accurate detection and stable operation, with maintenance-free characteristics, making them true technological game-changers in the bulk material handling industry," emphasized ADI Ofir, Sales Manager at SOLIDAT. "We always adhere to a customer-centric approach, providing customized solutions through modular and phased project implementation models to help customers gradually achieve automation upgrades and ultimately reach the core goals of cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and safe operation."
