 Open-Cast Mining

As companies within multiple industries begin to realize the true potential of UAVs, these drones are evolving from luxury tools to necessary parts of a team.

One of the industries where this is being seen most clearly is mining – more specifically open-cast mining.

The use of drones in mining has proved to be the ideal way of discovering new areas of interest and a vital tool in the extraction process.

Vast areas can now be covered in a short space of time and new data can be made available, both of which is more vital than ever now that raw materials are in short supply and high demand.

Open-cast mining and oil production are both benefiting from the use of UAVs

As new mining sites become harder and harder to find, due to both their scarcity … Read the rest

Drones In Mining

Drones are often seen as a revolutionary or futuristic tool that will soon become the norm in a number of industries.

What some people fail to realize is that drones, or UAVs, are already an important tool in certain industries. Mining, for example, has long seen the potential of adding a fleet of these unmanned vehicles to their arsenal.

They not only provide great data collection equipment and save a lot of time and money, but they also help to improve safety.… Read the rest
