Global mining companies are leveraging the power of drones in their mining operations; from exploration and drilling to blasting and reclamation, drones have become indispensable tools, streamlining processes and maximizing efficiency at every stage of a mine site. They provide valuable insight into slope stability, stockpile measurements and tailing monitoring. In underground and confined space environments, specially-designed drones conduct quick and cost-effective inspections to detect faults and areas of concern before they turn into costly problems.
Choose the right drone for your mining operations by considering the information below.
Longer flight times allow drones to cover larger areas or complete more tasks in a single flight, reducing downtime for battery changes.
Depending on the size of the mining site and the tasks involved, longer flight times present a greater benefit.
Consider the flexibility to integrate different sensors as the needs of the mining operation evolve.
This could include high-resolution cameras, LiDAR, magnetometers, echo-sounders or other specialized sensors.
The software used for processing data can significantly impact the usefulness of the information.
Ensure compatibility with data analysis software for tasks such as 3D mapping, volumetric analysis, and change detection.
The choice between fixed-wing and multirotor drones depends on the specific mining tasks.
Fixed-wing drones are more efficient for large area mapping, while multirotors excel in hovering and close-quarters inspections.
Find the perfect solution for your needs.
Drones significantly reduce the time required for surveys, allowing mining companies to quickly assess the terrain, monitor changes over time, and make informed decisions more efficiently.
Drones equipped with high-resolution cameras, LiDAR, or other sensors can rapidly map large mining sites. They provide accurate and up-to-date geospatial data, helping mining companies create detailed maps.
Regular drone-based assessments of stockpiles can be conducted more frequently and with greater accuracy than traditional methods. This ensures that mining companies have up-to-date information on the quantity and quality of materials.
Drones can be deployed for routine inspections of mining infrastructure, confined spaces, equipment, conveyors, and tailings dams. This minimizes the need for personnel to enter hazardous areas, improving overall safety conditions for workers.
Drone-based inspections provide a cost-effective solution. By eliminating the need for extensive manpower and heavy equipment, savings can be achieved in terms of personnel and machinery costs. Additionally, the early detection of asset issues through drone inspections prevents costly equipment breakdowns or production delays, ultimately saving mining companies substantial amounts of money.
