Mining stockpile inventory with drones

To accurately measure coal stockpile inventories at its port load stations, Colombian mining company Drummond Ltd. turned to eBee X fixed-wing drones.

The company’s survey team uses the large-area mapping drone to gather data quickly without interrupting operations while improving data quality and completely avoiding high-risk areas for increased safety. 

Drone photogrammetry allows the mining company to increase its data volume, data quality and overall accuracy, all while removing surveyors from harm’s way.
