When you’re working in below-ground mining drone operations, ensuring you have the right equipment is key to staying safe while collecting the data you need in a timely manner.
Here at Sphere Drones we know what it takes to perform in tough environments, and that’s why we’ve put this kit list together in collaboration with our pilots, so you can keep your keep operations running smoothly.
The drone: Flyability Elios 3 with Surveying Payload
The Flyability Elios 3 is the perfect drone for below-ground mining, designed specifically for challenging, confined spaces. Equipped with a 360° collision-tolerant cage, the Elios 3 can handle tough environments where other drones can’t. Its LiDAR sensor allows it to map underground areas real-time in 3D, making it ideal for navigating through tight tunnels and capturing data from difficult-to-reach places.
With its powerful dust-proof lighting system and dual RGB and thermal camera, you’ll be able to inspect and map underground structures with ease, all while maintaining a safe distance from potential hazards. The Elios 3 ensures you get the data you need without risking safety, making it a top choice for below-ground mining.
The software: Flyability Inspector
After collecting the data, the next step is turning it into usable information. Flyability Inspector software works seamlessly with the Elios 3, allowing you to process inspection data into detailed 3D models and reports. Inspector simplifies the process of viewing, analysing, and sharing the data with your team.
With tools for annotating images and videos, as well as generating comprehensive reports, Flyability Inspector helps streamline workflows and ensure all critical insights are captured. Whether it’s detecting structural issues or identifying areas for maintenance, this software delivers the detailed information you need for informed decision-making.
Essential gear to keep things running smoothly
When operating in below-ground mining environments, having the right accessories can keep operations running smoothly.
- Spare propellers: Always be prepared for damage caused by tight spaces or unexpected collisions. Having extra propellers on hand ensures you don’t have to halt operations.
- Additional batteries: Battery life is critical when conducting long inspections in challenging environments. Extra batteries give you the ability to extend operations without delays.
- High-intensity headlamps: Even with the drone’s built-in lighting, operators in underground mines need additional visibility. A reliable headlamp is essential for keeping both the drone and pilot safe.
