Draw point inspection
Read moreInspect a draw point from a safe distance and get 100% visibility from the inside. Do it in less time than it takes to set up a traditional CMS.
Speed Ease of use Accuracy 10 min to capture high resolution point cloud data Create a live 3D map and locate the drone and its exact trajectory Detailed 3D insights with 100% coverage -
Stockpile volumetry
Read moreWith the accurate LiDAR scanning, fully calculate your stockpile inventory and tighten up your forecasting.
Speed Safety Accuracy 9 min to capture the data with Elios (one flight) No work at height. The data is collected from a safe distance 3D models provide accurate stockpile calculations -
Hang-up localization
Read morePrecisely locate hang-ups from a safe distance and gather the data needed to plan for their removal.
Speed Access Accuracy ~10 min to find the cause of an ore pass hang-up Fly directly into the ore pass and gather both visual and LiDAR data Geolocalize the hang-up in the ore and see exactly how the hang-up looks like -
Ore pass inspection
Read morePerform regular ore pass monitoring and inspections to prevent hang-ups and keep the mine safe.
Speed Access Safety ~8 min to inspect 2 Ore passes and a small stope 100% data coverage even in no-go zones No workers exposed to hazards -
Equipment inspection & monitoring
Read moreEstablish standard procedures for routine inspections of heavy mining equipment, such as conveyor belts, ball mills, SAG mills, crushers, and stockpile feeders.
Speed Cost Efficiency Safety Deploy a drone on demand without the need for elaborated safety procedures and/or complex scaffolding Perform inspections without stopping the production with one pilot only vs. standard teams of 3-4 people No workers exposed to hazards -
Inspect large excavations
Read moreQuickly map and inspect large excavations to ensure they are in a safe condition.
Speed Access Safety Deploy a drone on demand without the need for complex safety procedures Get 100% data coverage—even in no-go zones No workers exposed to hazards
