MINING DRONES

Inspect, survey, and map inaccessible areas from a safe distance

Map a 340 meter tunnel
in 9 minutes

Locate a hangup in less
than 10 minutes

Survey unknown areas
from a safe distance

Why choose the Elios 3 drone for mine inspections & mapping?

 

With its patented flight controller and collision-resilient technology, the Elios 3 can safely fit through openings as small as 50x50cm and collect comprehensive data in previously inaccessible areas.

When paired with the Surveying Payload and the FARO Connect software solution, Elios 3 can create centimeter-accurate scans of ore passes, draw points, and stopes, providing rapid insights that are not accessible with traditional tools or other UAV technologies.
