Rettar's 3DPro2300 Radar Scanner was shortlisted for safety excellence in bulk handling. It enables real-time 3D inventory tracking in silos, reducing manual risks.
A significant milestone in Rettar’s global expansion, recognizing our commitment to Safety Excellence in Bulk Handling.

Organized by Bulk Handling Review, the Australian Bulk Handling Awards is a professional industry awards platform dedicated specifically to the bulk solids handling sector. It recognizes outstanding achievements in technology innovation, safety improvement, automation, reliability, and sustainable development, with applications spanning mining and minerals, grain and agriculture, cement and building materials, energy and power, ports and terminals, and bulk material handling.

Shortlisted in Safety Excellence: Standing Out Among Industry Finalists
For Rettar, being selected as a finalist is more than an industry distinction. It represents professional recognition of the practical value of Rettar’s 3DPro2300 Radar Scanner technology in addressing real-world safety and operational challenges in bulk material handling.

In the 2026 Safety Excellence in Bulk Handling category, Rettar was shortlisted alongside EX Engineering and Sync Lift Engineering, placing Rettar among the solutions receiving professional attention within this specialized industry. The category focuses on technologies and practices that reduce operational risks, improve working environments, and make bulk handling processes safer, more reliable, and more intelligent. Through real-time 3D inventory tracking, Rettar reduces manual working-at-height operations by over 90%, effectively safeguarding site personnel from high-altitude risks.

This recognition closely reflects Rettar’s 3D scanning technology direction: using digital perception and automation to reduce unnecessary manual exposure while providing operators with clearer, more reliable information about bulk material conditions.

The award recognition therefore serves as an important validation of Rettar’s commitment to bringing digital technology into demanding industrial environments—and marks another step in its expansion within the global bulk handling market.

3D Radar Scanning for Real-World Industrial Applications

At the center of Rettar’s Inventory management solution is the 3DPro2300 Radar Scanner. Using non-contact three-dimensional sensing technology, the system can scan material surfaces, estimate material volume, and provide remote visualization of inventory conditions. The value of the technology lies not only in collecting measurement data, but also in making complex material conditions easier to understand and manage.

Through 3D scanning, our technology enables industrial operators to obtain a more comprehensive digital representation of the material surface and convert physical conditions into measurable operational data. Volume estimation transforms this spatial information into quantitative inventory data, while remote visualization allows operators and managers to monitor material conditions without repeatedly entering challenging operating areas.

For facilities handling grain, cement, minerals, energy materials, and other bulk solids, this creates a more connected workflow between physical inventory conditions, digital data, and operational decision-making. Rettar connects safety improvement with operational efficiency-reducing unnecessary manual exposure while improving access to useful inventory information at the same time. This approach represents a shift from traditional manual inspection toward intelligent, data-driven bulk material monitoring.

Recognition Backed by Technology. Technology Built for Industry.

The 2026 Australian Bulk Handling Awards finalist recognition provides a strong industry reference for Rettar’s technology development. More importantly, it reflects the core value behind the company’s innovation: technology should solve practical industrial problems and create measurable value for customers.

Rettar will continue developing application-focused solutions based on 3D radar and laser scanners, extending the role of digital perception technology across bulk material environments.

From international industry recognition to intelligent sensing technology, from three-dimensional visualization to safer remote monitoring, Rettar is building a more intelligent approach to bulk material management.

3D Volumetric Mapping From Level Measurement to Inventory Transparency
Rettar's 3DPro2300 radar scanner maps the full 3D surface of bulk solids in silos, with up to 16,200 points per scan, ±2 mm accuracy and continuous operation in heavy dust. The Inventory Blind Spot In bulk solid storage across process industries, inventory tracking remains a persistent operational blind spot. When bulk materials enter a storage silo, they do not settle into a predictable, flat liquid surface. The formation of variable angles of repose, surface peaks and valleys, asymmetric piling, rat-holing, and material adhesion to silo sidewalls creates a highly complex topography. While traditional inventory tracking methods such as mass extrapolation and single-point measurement are widely utilized and foundational to many operations, relying on them exclusively for complex bulk solids may introduce certain uncertainties. For instance, calculating inventory solely based on inbound and outbound flow can occasionally lead to cumulative variances between recorded and physical stock over time due to natural material compaction or moisture changes. Similarly, single-point level sensors provide reliable, localized distance metrics. However,…

Rettar has introduced the 3DPro2300 radar scanner for bulk solids inventory management in high-dust silos. The ATEX/IECEx certified system uses 80GHz FMCW radar to provide real-time 3D surface mapping. The Inventory Blind Spot: Why Mass Extrapolation & Single-Point Leveling Fail For decades, mine operators and bulk material handling facilities have relied on mass extrapolation via belt scales or single-point level measurement to estimate inventory. However, calculating theoretical weight or measuring a single vertical distance does not constitute true inventory management. Bulk solids behave unpredictably. Heavy dust generated during crushing, loading, and feeding operations, coupled with variable moisture and material discharge dynamics, frequently complicates the environment inside silos, making it difficult to calculate the volume of materials accurately. When management relies on legacy measurement paradigms, they operate with a critical operational blind spot: * Mass Extrapolation (Belt Scales): Relies on input/output throughput formulas. Cumulative measurement errors compound rapidly over time and fail to account for material compaction or structural hang-ups,…
