In the food industry it is common to use silos to store the company's raw materials. That is because they are large containers that can hold materials like sand, grain, wheat, or fermented feed. Considering the large size of the containers that can reach heights of 20 to 40 meters, managing the contained material in an automated way is a challenging task. In the case of wheat, when they are poured into the silos it forms an irregular surface along the container, obtaining data and calculating the volume of the irregular surface and consequently the total content of the silo is the main objective of this work. Most silos have a similar structure, they look like a cylinder with a cone shaped top, they can have two different types of bases, conical or flat. Considering the above, it was decided to use the LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor, whose distance measurement function allows generating a data record using 3D points. The device uses the principle of time of flight to perform its functions. For this reason, a 360 degrees rotation mechanism and a support for a 270 degrees inclination were developed to give the sensor greater freedom of space data registration. Using the distance information obtained by the sensor, the 3D coordinates are designated that can be displayed in real time through programming in Arduino and Matlab. Likewise, the volume of wheat inside the silo will be calculated.
