USING INNOVATION TECHNOLOGIES TO MEASURE STOREHOUSES OF DRY HYDROSCOPIC MATERIALS WITH DISSIMILAR DENSITY AND HUMIDITY

The article grounds the necessity to develop innovation methods of finding mass of dry raw materials. Today serious problems can be faced in production in case it is needed to find the mass of materials stored in storehouses in bulk. The use of tabular values of material density and humidity can decrease the accuracy of results. Available methods of measuring volume and mass of dry materials, such as visual, theoretical calculation, mine-surveyor measurement, laser 2D-scanning, laser 3D-scanning, radiolocation and acoustic scanning were analyzed. Their advantages and disadvantages were shown. The scientific novelty of the work is connected with innovation, highly accurate, automated method of finding mass of dry hydroscopic materials having different density and humidity, which is based on using the equipment for laser 3D-scanning. The authors propose to measure density and humidity of material at different levels of clamp, which can improve the accuracy of results. The article provides calculations proving the efficiency of the method during stock-taking of material resources at the enterprise. The article pays special attention to problems of stock-taking and registration of shortages in accounting and taxation.
