Thermal Imaging and Inspection Services
Our thermal imaging solutions provide critical insights into asset performance and safety at mine sites. By detecting heat anomalies, leaks, or inefficiencies in equipment, we enable early identification of potential issues, reducing downtime and costly failures.
These inspections improve energy efficiency by up to 20% and contribute to extending equipment life cycles, ensuring uninterrupted operations in harsh mining environments.
Event Monitoring and Emergency Response
Our drone-based event monitoring and emergency response services enhance safety and situational awareness for mine sites. Equipped with real-time video feeds and thermal sensors, our drones provide rapid assessments during emergencies such as spills, equipment failures, or accidents. This reduces response times by up to 60% and improves coordination, safeguarding both personnel and the environment.
With proven and established drone-in-a-box solutions implemented across the globe, we can reduce emergency response to less than 2 mins across 200 sq km. Situational awareness or the rapid delivery of trauma kits and AEDs to the side of the patient. Enhance WHS and injury management across your operations with our fully autonomous systems.
Aerial Surveillance and Security Solutions
Our aerial surveillance solutions strengthen security and operational oversight at mine sites. Drones equipped with high-definition cameras and night-vision capabilities provide continuous monitoring of expansive areas, reducing theft and unauthorised access. This improves security efficiency by up to 40% while lowering reliance on manual patrols, offering cost-effective and scalable surveillance.
Proactive Maintenance with IoT Integration
Our IoT-enabled models driven by data from our drones deliver actionable insights for proactive maintenance at mine sites.
By integrating real-time monitoring with advanced sensors, we identify wear and tear, optimise repair schedules, and prevent costly breakdowns.
This approach reduces maintenance costs by up to 35% and increases equipment uptime, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations.
Environmental & Sustainability Monitoring
Our drone solutions for environmental monitoring provide critical data for managing and reducing the environmental impact of mining activities.
From air quality assessments to vegetation health analysis, our drones help operators comply with regulations and implement sustainability initiatives.
These services reduce environmental assessment time by up to 50% and support eco-friendly practices, aligning with corporate social responsibility goals.
FAQ
What are the benefits of using drones for cleaning, inspection, and coatings at mine sites?
Our drone solutions enhance safety by eliminating the need for high-risk manual labour, reduce costs by up to 40% by avoiding heavy equipment and scaffolding, and extend asset life by up to 30% with precise cleaning and protective coatings. Additionally, our methods conserve up to 80% more water compared to traditional techniques, supporting sustainability.
How accurate are your digital twin and 3D mapping services?
Our digital twin and 3D mapping services use high-resolution photogrammetry and LiDAR technology to create precise, real-time representations of mine sites and assets. These maps are accurate to within a few centimetres, ensuring reliable data for planning, monitoring, and maintenance.
Can your drones respond to emergencies at the mine site?
Yes, our drones are equipped with real-time video and thermal sensors to provide rapid situational assessments during emergencies such as spills, accidents, or equipment failures. This reduces response times by up to 60% and improves coordination, enhancing safety and minimising operational disruptions.
This technology is already used in public safety across Europe and fully integrated into your own operations centres. This capability provides the maximum chances for survivability and significantly reduces the likelihood of long-term injuries across your sites.
Coupled with dynamic and real-time mapping logistics capabilities, we can also accelerate the time to scene for your first responder teams, with imaging to their own devices to help prepare for what they’re about to manage.
How do drone-based surveillance and security compare to traditional methods?
Our drone surveillance solutions provide continuous monitoring with high-definition, thermal and night-vision capabilities, covering large areas more effectively than manual patrols. This reduces security costs by up to 40% while enhancing safety and minimising theft or unauthorised access, with this visibility being provided in real time to your central operations centres.
Are your services eco-friendly?
Absolutely. Our drone-based cleaning solutions use up to 80% less water than traditional methods, and our environmental monitoring services help operators implement sustainable practices and comply with regulatory requirements. We’re committed to minimising environmental impact while delivering top-notch results with our chemical application being bio-degradable.
What industries have benefited from your drone solutions?
In addition to mining, we’ve seen success in industries like construction, waste management, agriculture, real estate, and public safety.
Our scalable and tailored solutions meet each sector’s unique needs, providing measurable benefits in cost savings, safety, and operational efficiency.
How do thermal imaging inspections help reduce equipment downtime?
Thermal imaging detects heat anomalies, leaks, and inefficiencies before they lead to equipment failure. We also couple thermal with other inspection methods such as AI, before and after and timelapse data sets. By addressing issues early, our inspections can reduce downtime by up to 25% and prevent costly repairs, keeping your operations running smoothly.
How quickly can you deploy your drones for inspections or emergencies?
Our drones are designed for rapid deployment, with our emergency response and security capability deployable within 15 seconds. They are fully autonomous and have complete management and visibility from your centralised operations hubs.
Our detailed inspection drone capabilities, including AI asset inspections and 3D modelling, are capable of being on-site and operational within hours of a request; however, with scheduled and comprehensive data sets and modelling, it would become a rare requirement. This ensures minimal delays, whether for scheduled inspections or unexpected emergencies, with detailed reporting integrated into your current systems, keeping your operations running smoothly and efficiently.
