Shipping control of bulk materials at a quarry

Q: We already have a weighbridge — why does a quarry also need an IQoko CMP?

IQoko controls the whole trip, while the weighbridge controls only one point. Loading, exit and bed video are recorded in TripCode, whereas a single weighing can be bypassed by collusion or vehicle swapping. For a quarry, IQoko Gate Pro also integrates with the scales, matching mass to the CV-based volume estimate. So the weighbridge stays but is no longer the only, bypassable control point.

Q: How accurate is CV volume estimation from a single camera at a quarry?

IQoko’s monocular CV volume estimation is calibrated for the specific quarry and confirmed against a LiDAR reference, and the methodology is being prepared for metrological certification under Federal Law 102-FZ. For bulk materials — sand, crushed stone, soil — this is accuracy sufficient to control short-loading and padding. IQoko fixes the specific figures during calibration for your site. TODO: add confirmed accuracy figures from quarry pilots.

Q: How fast does IQoko pay back at a quarry?

IQoko pays back by reducing losses from short-loading and theft, which the industry estimates at 5–15% of turnover. At a quarry with a turnover of 500 million ₽/year, that’s 25–75 million ₽ of potential losses, while a stationary CMP is from 1 800 000 ₽. IQoko computes precise payback in a pilot using the quarry’s actual data. TODO: confirm the payback period with pilot-project figures.

Q: Do we have to stop shipping to install the CMP?

An IQoko stationary CMP is installed at the quarry’s entry and exit without stopping the main shipping. For an operating quarry, this is a loop-by-loop rollout: one site first, then replication across the other locations. All trips enter the single TripCode log on IQoko Platform.

Shipping control at a quarry is a fact-based check of how much material actually left the site on each trip. For quarries and aggregate producers with 1000+ trips a month, IQoko installs a stationary CMP with ANPR and CV-based cargo-volume estimation at entry and exit. By industry estimates, 5–15% of turnover is lost to shipping opacity. So every trip becomes a TripCode digital record, and short-loading and theft are visible immediately.

QUARRIES AND AGGREGATES

Where a quarry loses money on shipping

A quarry loses revenue where shipping can’t be verified by fact: on short-loading, padding and weighbridge collusion. IQoko addresses exactly these loss points.

Short-loading and material theft

A quarry loses material when the actual volume in the bed is less than the recorded one and there’s nothing to verify it. For the owner, this is a direct loss of revenue on every short-loaded trip. By industry estimates, short-loading and theft account for 5–15% of turnover lost. IQoko records a CV-based volume estimate for every trip, so short-loading is visible immediately.

Collusion and swapping at the weighbridge

The weighbridge gives a single weighing at a single point, which can be bypassed by collusion or vehicle swapping. For the quarry’s security team, this is a blind spot between loading and exit. IQoko links ANPR, video and CV volume into a single TripCode, so swapping the dump truck between control points is practically impossible.

Opacity of 1000+ trips a month

At 1000+ trips a month, manual shipping control is physically impossible. For the finance director, this means "trust-based" accounting without reconciliation against fact. IQoko Platform consolidates all trips into one log with alerts on volume deviations, so problem trips are flagged automatically.

Volume disputes with buyers

A quarry can’t prove the actual shipping volume to a buyer when a claim arises. For the commercial director, this is reputational and financial loss in dispute resolution. IQoko stores video and a CV-based volume estimate for every trip, so a claim is closed with the TripCode record by trip number.

IQOKO SOLUTION

How IQoko makes shipping transparent

IQoko installs a stationary CMP at the quarry’s entry and exit that measures the volume of every trip and links it to the license plate and video in a verifiable TripCode.

CV volume estimation for every trip

IQoko estimates the volume of bulk cargo in a dump-truck bed from a single camera with monocular computer vision — on entry and exit at the quarry. For shipping control, this is volume by fact without manual measurement or a laser frame at every CMP. So short-loading is recorded at the moment of exit, not discovered after the fact.

ANPR and a tamper-proof TripCode

IQoko recognizes each dump truck’s license plate (ANPR) and links it to the CV volume and video in a single trip TripCode. For the quarry’s security team, this is protection against vehicle swapping and weighbridge collusion. So every trip gains an evidence base that can’t be bypassed at a single control point.

A single log and alerts in IQoko Platform

IQoko Platform consolidates all the quarry’s trips into one TripCode log with analytics and alerts on volume deviations. For a manager, this is control of 1000+ trips a month without manually reviewing recordings. So the system itself flags short-loaded and anomalous trips.

Integration with scales and 1C

IQoko Gate Pro integrates with truck scales and delivers trip data into 1C via the IQoko Platform API. For finance, this is reconciliation of mass and CV volume in one log without double entry. So shipping enters accounting already confirmed by the trip fact.

CONFIGURATION

Recommended configuration for a quarry

For a quarry, IQoko recommends the IQoko Gate Pro + IQoko Platform pairing: a stationary CMP with CV-based volume estimation at entry and exit plus a cloud core with the TripCode log. Stationary CMP — from 1 800 000 ₽; the final quote depends on the number of cameras and integrations.

HOW IT LOOKS

How it looks at a quarry

Before IQoko, shipping is recorded "on trust" as a single line in a log. After — every quarry trip becomes a TripCode with CV volume, license plate and bed video at entry and exit.
