Ore Truck Scanner
The Ore Truck Scanner is an automated system used to provide the user with accurate ore grade information and truck driver instruction. The truck driver parks under the detector heads and, using a remote, enters the origin of the load to initiate the scan. When the scan is complete, a horn sounds to inform the driver it was completed, then ore grade and stockpile directions are displayed on a large LED sign.
 The ore grade thresholds are user configurable using a Windows based interface program installed on a PC mounted in the main enclosure. Text files are created for the results of scans, background tests, and detector tests. Scan results include time, date, measurement in counts per second (cps) for each detector, distance measured from load to detector heads, and averaged cps conditioned to distance.
Remotes can be coded with a "truck number" indentifiable by the scanner software.
Optional sensor(s) and traffic light system can be installed for proper truck positioning.
