1) Stockpile Measurement
Many aggregates companies use a combination of
employees on the ground and third-party surveyors
to measure stockpiles. Surveys happen a few times a
year, using a variety of surveying equipment and take
anywhere from a few days to a week to complete.
This method is costly, hazardous, time-consuming
and the data isn't immediately available. Even when
the data does become available, it can be hard to
share within the company or to audit.
Companies seeking a more ef ficient way to do
stockpile measurement are using drones. By
using drones, companies can frequently and
automatically calculate the perimeter and volume
for all their aggregate stockpiles; even odd-shaped
piles against walls. Drones enable them to fly a
large site in minutes and have pile measurements
that same day. Data captured by drones is
being used for ever y thing from daily produc tion
measurements and spot checks to end of year
third-par ty audits.
