Mining
Dig deep for smarter, safer tools in an unforgiving environment
The mining and aggregates industry is reliant upon frequent, precise maps to track mine topography changes and measure aggregate volumes accurately. Regular surveys are costly, time-consuming and hazardous, while satellite imagery lacks resolution and manned airborne surveys are too expensive.
UAVs offer affordable, regular site surveys, collecting data to monitor mine works and calculate volumes. Equipped with an RGB camera and a LiDAR scanner with a Trimble APX-15, UAVs provide the necessary information for change analytics and efficient volume calculations.
In rugged terrain, modern mining companies trust Applanix POS products
Today, mining companies are exploring ways to mine more safely and sustainably, leveraging new autonomous technologies to maximize their production. And because most mines are located in remote wilderness or deep underground, the solution must be equally rugged and reliable as it is accurate. Not only does Trimble Applanix’ mining automation technology drastically lower costs and improve operations in some of the most demanding conditions, it offers a viable solution for longstanding industry challenges, such as labor shortages.
