The Days of Climbing Piles are Over
With drones, highly accurate measurements can be made of multiple stockpiles at once. Compared to other methods that rely on a relatively low number of survey points to try to represent a complex pile shape, txDroneCo produces more accurate stockpile volumes from real-world profiles, on a more frequent, timely and cost-effective basis, with greater safety in a live operations environment.
SAFE
keep your people off unstable and steep stockpiles.
FAST
multiple stockpile measurements in minutes, without stopping work.
ACCURATE
thousands of points of data, not just a handful and a guess.
REPEATABLE
fly the same mission with the same accuracy month after month.
Interior Stockpile Inventories
Measuring stockpiles indoors provides its own challenges and constraints. With careful consideration of each structure we may be able to conduct precise drone flights and create accurate models suitable for measurements.

Stockpile Inventory Example
guess·ti·mate
informal, noun
1. The wrong way to take stockpile inventory.
2. Not consistent enough for stockpile inventory.
Drones provide a better solution. When txDroneCo flies your stockpiles, your safety risk goes down and your productivity and accuracy go way up. Instead of basing the volume calculations off just a handful of data points, our flights produce hundreds of thousands of data points from which we can precisely determine the volume of stockpile material. We are able to calculate both binned and stockpiled volumes.
ac·cu·ra·cy
noun
the degree to which the result of a measurement, calculation, or specification conforms to the correct value or a standard.
Stockpile Measurement Accuracy. Multiple studies by various providers have compared the results of GPS-surveys of stockpiles with results from drone flights, When following best practices, drone measurements are within .06% of more costly and time-consuming GPS-surveys.
