Looking to the future, it is becoming more important for accurate mine site analysis, the old methods were so variable that correct data was more good luck than a given. Enter the age of the drone, with reliable consistent information gathered in a fraction of the time, what company can do without one.

​

• Aerial photography

• Aerial asset inspection

• End of month ROM pad surveys

• Vegetation monitoring

• Drainage analysis

• Tailings dam monitoring

• Asset location

• Safe blast monitoring

• Tire temperature monitoring

• Truck circuit monitoring

• High wall inspections

• Safe rescue appraisal

• Pit, Dump monitoring

​

All these tasks carried out by the same piece of equipment that can monitor tire temperatures and conveyor roller condition long before a failure. The use of drones is expanding on site, as the cost of specialized cameras reduces and a zero harm policy becomes achievable. More and more of site monitoring in the future will be drone based. The key to this tech is quality equipment and fit for purpose drones.

Fixed plant and asset inspections can now be done quickly and with minimal interference to site operations, paying for itself with less down time and accurate images for engineers to check at their convenience. 

Site specific drone builds are available, with allowances made for payload and hardware upgrades to increase your ROI.
