Automated particle and material measurement for vehicle loads
Measure material load by load

How Reflex Fits in the Process
Vehicle movements create a valuable measurement point between loading, haulage, receiving and processing. Reflex measures material load by load, providing consistent data that can help operations:
- Identify oversize early before material reaches downstream processing or handling equipment.
- Monitor load consistency by tracking changes in particle size and material characteristics from one load to the next.
- Provide feedback on fragmentation performance through consistent measurement of material moving from extraction to processing.
- Track visible material changes using colour measurements and defined colour profiles.
- Improve process visibility by connecting material measurements with individual loads and operating conditions.
- Support routing and process decisions using measurement trends, alarms and other configurable outputs.
- Integrate measurement data with PLC, SCADA and other plant systems through Modbus TCP or OPC UA.
What Reflex Does
Reflex is an autonomous vehicle-load measurement system that analyzes material as trucks, loaders, railcars and other vehicles move through the operation.
Depending on configuration, Reflex can provide:
- Particle size measurement, from maximum-size monitoring to full particle size distribution (PSD)
- Shape distribution for additional insight into material characteristics
- Oversize detection with configurable alarms or control outputs
- Colour measurement and differentiation to monitor visible changes in material
- Load-by-load trend data to identify changes in consistency and material characteristics over time
- Control-system integration through Modbus TCP or OPC UA
- Autonomous operation for continuous monitoring in demanding operating environments
Reflex Options: Choose the Capability You Need
Reflex is available in two configurations built on the same hardware platform. Choose focused monitoring for a specific measurement objective or full particle analysis for more comprehensive load-by-load data. Systems can be upgraded without replacing the hardware.
Reflex Basic
A streamlined option for applications requiring a single primary measurement:
- Maximum particle size monitoring for oversize detection and operational alerts
- Colour monitoring for tracking changes against defined colour profiles
Perfect for applications where a focused measurement can provide a clear operational signal without requiring a full particle size distribution.

Reflex Complete
Full particle measurement for applications requiring more detailed material insight:
- Full particle size distribution (PSD)
- Up to 25 user-defined size classes
- Shape distribution
- Colour measurement and differentiation
Reflex Complete provides a broader picture of material characteristics for load-by-load monitoring, trending and integration with operational systems.
Our analysis systems are designed for easy installation, autonomous operation, and integration into existing process environments.
