ROLLOUTS 10 AGGREGATES MANAGER / April 2017 Drone system collects more accurate data Kespry announces upgrades to its Drone 2 that deliver greater durability. The new Drone 2s also achieves four to six times the accuracy of the previous drone system. By adding a high-performance ground receiver, the new system can deliver accuracy of just over three-quarters of an inch to 4 inches. The Global Navigation Satellite System base station receiver serves as a single survey con- trol point. During flight, imagery from the drone and data from the base station are collected simultaneously and automatically uploaded for processing into the Kespry Cloud, where survey-grade data is automatically generated. Post-Pro- cessed Kinematic technology is used to increase the accuracy of photogrammet- ric aerial images and improve the speed, efficiency, and reliability of gathering survey-ready data.

New features include the ability to generate measure events from drillhole data obtained directly from a mobile device fitted to the drill rig. As the files are loaded, Pitram Mobile generates a series of events that reflect the initial design data. The drill data file is sub- sequently updated when drilling be- gins, with both design and actual in- formation recorded. A reversing camera and wiring harness is also available as an option.
