Hyperion for Fertilizer
Fertilizer stockpile monitoring that eliminates write-downs
Hyperion fertilizer stockpile monitoring uses automated LiDAR scanning to deliver auditable, current inventory data, so you can secure your assets, run a tighter supply chain and protect your balance sheet.
The challenge
The financial risk of inaccurate fertilizer inventory
Your fertilizer inventory is one of the most valuable assets on your balance sheet. Without precise, regular measurement, it is also one of your biggest liabilities.
Write-downs and asset uncertainty
Book-to-physical discrepancies lead to painful write-downs, audit complications and an inaccurate picture of company assets, tying up working capital.
Supply chain disruptions
Running out of a key component can halt blending, delay production and put critical sales contracts at risk during peak season.
Slow logistics and demurrage
Slow manual surveys hold up ships, barges and trains, adding demurrage fees and straining supplier relationships when volumes are reconciled.
Safety hazards and labor cost
Manually surveying large, unstable piles exposes people to engulfment and chemical dust, and it takes crews away from productive work.
A single source of truth
Hyperion: the control center for your fertilizer stockpiles
Stop managing your most valuable physical assets with estimates. Hyperion replaces slow, risky manual surveys with a safe, fully automated system that delivers regular, audit-ready inventory data.
It bridges the gap between the plant floor and the ERP system, so operations, procurement, finance and auditors all work from the same verified numbers. Your inventory stops being a source of uncertainty and becomes a precise, verifiable, strategic asset.
How it works
From raw scan data to actionable intelligence
Hyperion does more than measure piles. It gives each team the inventory intelligence to make faster, more profitable decisions.
Automated LiDAR scanning
Strategically placed EOS2 LiDAR sensors scan your storage buildings and open piles without human intervention, building a high-density 3D model of every stockpile.
Your benefit: audit-ready, survey-grade data. Give finance and auditors measured inventory they can trust for reporting and asset valuation. In an independent comparison at a cement plant, Hyperion came within 0.55% of a certified third-party terrestrial survey.
Current data on a secure cloud platform
Scans are processed automatically and results appear on the Hyperion cloud platform, where you can set alerts for low-inventory thresholds and track stock in near real time.
Your benefit: a tighter supply chain and better cash flow. Validate vessel, rail and truck deliveries quickly, plan production around low-inventory alerts and manage cash with daily consumption tracking.
Historical tracking and product-specific management
Hyperion keeps a complete, time-stamped record of inventory levels, creating an audit trail for compliance and a basis for trend analysis and procurement forecasting.
Define and manage many products, from phosphate rock to granular urea, and apply lab-verified bulk densities to each. The correct density is what turns LiDAR-derived volume into accurate tonnage, protecting both valuation and blend recipe accuracy.
Where it fits
Fertilizer stockpile monitoring at every node of the supply chain
From coastal terminals to inland blending facilities, Hyperion reduces friction and disputes at every point of custody transfer.
Fertilizer manufacturing plants
Track raw material inputs and finished goods precisely to keep production running and schedules aligned with sales commitments.
Port and river terminals
Speed up vessel turnaround and reduce demurrage with rapid, verifiable surveys for custody transfer and dispute resolution.
Bulk blending facilities
Keep an exact inventory of every blend component to prevent stockouts and ensure custom blends are accurate.
Wholesale distributors and co-ops
Manage inventory across large warehouses and give members trustworthy data for better financial reporting.
Secure your assets
Replace inventory estimates with certainty
In a volatile market, inventory guesswork is a luxury no fertilizer operation can afford. Hyperion gives you regular, auditable data to reduce financial risk, improve logistics and protect your margins.

Hyperion delivers survey-grade volume measurements from dense LiDAR point clouds and quality-checks every scan. In an independent comparison at a cement plant, its mass estimate came within 0.55% of a certified third-party terrestrial survey. Tonnage accuracy also depends on using a lab-verified bulk density for each product.
Yes. You can define and manage many products, from phosphate rock to granular urea, and apply a custom bulk density to each for volume-to-tonnage conversion.
No. Permanently mounted EOS2 LiDAR sensors scan the piles automatically, removing the engulfment and dust exposure risks of manual surveys.
Yes. Hyperion keeps a complete, time-stamped record of inventory levels that serves as an audit trail, and data can be exported or sent to your ERP through the API.
