Reliable Software Solutions (RSS) is proud to announce progressive updates to its flagship TruckScan I.T. software, its innovative non-contact volumetric scanning system designed for haul truck tray volume scanning.
Designed for operational engineers and maintenance professionals in mining, TruckScan I.T. now includes real-time load distribution analysis, desktop tools for material repose angle evaluation, and real-time integration with weighing systems. providing a richer dataset for engineers wishing to optimise haulage efficiency.
“The new features give engineering teams not just volumetric data, but real diagnostics on load behaviour”, Andrew Sheppard, managing director at RSS Solutions said. “This tool is built for measurement extending into insight to assist in operational understanding and improvements.”
Built on time-of-flight LiDAR technology, TruckScan I.T. generates precise metrics and 3D scans of truck payloads without requiring the vehicles to stop.

This capability allows mining operations to quickly and accurately quantify the actual volume of material moved, monitor for carryback, and integrate weight data for real-time material density feedback. The system’s enhanced algorithms now allow engineers to:
- Monitor lateral load distribution to detect asymmetry that can increase wear on suspension and frames.
- Analyse material repose angles to identify overloading, underloading, or potential spillage risks.
- Track carryback trends across shifts or operators, supporting proactive maintenance and cost reduction.
TruckScan I.T. integrates seamlessly with site PLCs, and can deliver structured data in real-time to local or cloud-hosted MS SQL databases. Engineers can access detailed load records through interactive dashboards or export data in Excel, CSV, PDF, and 3D visualisation formats for deeper analysis or reporting.
TruckScan I.T. is already operational at multiple mining sites, supporting engineers in improving fleet utilisation, safety compliance, and asset longevity.
