BVLOS mission to calculate the excavation volume of a quarry

Share

Share | 12/28/2022

The service provider and surveying company SysCAD Solutions SRL was commissioned to do a quarterly mapping of three cement quarries. Obtaining accurate data was critical for their client, as they pay taxes based on excavated volume.

SysCAD selected the eBee X drone equipped with the S.O.D.A. camera because of its regulatory advantages, which allowed it to:

  • Perform a BVLOS mission, saving 2 hours compared to a VLOS operation.
  • Operate safely close to people and in compliance with the new EU drone regulations.
  • Have real-time air traffic awareness with Arnold’s Ping USB. 
  • Obtain accurate data at 300 AGL.

Learn more about the challenges and the ROI of the project in this webinar.
