Your company may want to measure stockpiles by both: aerial and iPhone!
Here are a few reasons why we recommend adding aerial measurements:
- Stockpiles are very hard to walk around. For example, they might touch an adjoining pile, run into bushes, trees or be located next to water.
- The piles are tall, and one is unable to see the top of the pile from the ground. The top might be quite bumpy.
- Stockpiles are located in a high-traffic area
- There are many multiple stockpiles located in a wide-spread area
- The company has stockpiles located in various locations or across multiple U.S. States
- The financial team and CFO requires regular measurements of stockpiles across the enterprise monthly, or quarterly, with results available online for every pile within 24-hours of data upload
- Allows for remote site management and accountability, to avoid end of the year write-offs
