3D Maps From Elios 3 Help Mining Operation Find Cause Of Ore Pass Hangup In 10 Minutes
A major mining operation used the Elios 3 to quickly identify the cause of a blockage in an ore pass, pinpointing its exact location in just ten minutes. This allowed them to visualize the clog using a detailed 3D map, saving time and resources.Key Benefits
|
Access The Elios 3 was able to fly directly into the ore pass, capturing both visual and LiDAR data that was then displayed on a 3D Live Map. This provided a clear view of the blockage, helping engineers understand what was causing the issue. |
Speed What used to take two months to locate and resolve was identified in under ten minutes, drastically improving operational efficiency. |
Precise Data With geolocational data and a 3D model, mine workers could easily locate the blockage without unnecessary drilling or exploration, saving time and labor. |
Introduction
In mining, ore is transported through a system of passes that move it from extraction points down to processing areas. These systems are crucial for smooth operations, but when a blockage—known as a hangup—occurs, it can halt production entirely.Customer Needs
At a mining site in Colorado, a large hangup blocked an ore pass, preventing any ore from moving. Initial attempts to locate the blockage involved scanning and drilling, which took months with little success. The team eventually abandoned the area, unsure of the exact cause.Solution
During a demonstration, the Elios 3 drone was used to inspect the pass. It provided real-time visuals and a 3D model of the pass, allowing the team to see the blockage clearly.Results
Within ten minutes, the Elios 3 located the clog. It turned out to be a single massive rock, not multiple smaller ones as previously thought. This insight would have changed the approach to clearing the blockage, potentially reducing the time and effort needed.Conclusion
The success of the Elios 3 led the mine to plan future use for similar issues. They also aim to apply the technology in other hard-to-reach areas, improving safety, accuracy, and efficiency across their operations.Mouth Guard Holder ,Mouthguard Container ,Dental Guard Case ,Bite Guard Case
