Practical experience in implementing unmanned technologies to improve the efficiency of opencast mine development
The world has changed! The quality of management of industrial facilities and processes depends directly on the speed and reliability of the information received. Digital technologies presented in the modern world in many ways exceed the speed and quality of outdated and long-used methods of production of surveying works. Practical experience in the use of unmanned technologies can reduce the number of survey services while improving their quality and increasing revenues. Today, the introduction of UAVs is an exception to the rule, which is both a cheap and high-quality alternative to the usual geodetic instruments. An exact digital copy of the quarry with the help of the information obtained from drones optimizes and solves several tasks at once, optimizing them and reducing costs. In a period of great economic downturn, the introduction of digital technologies can be a key solution for stable operation and increasing the company's revenue.
