Aerial Intelligence for Mining Operations
VANA supports mining operations with LiDAR-based stockpile estimation and safe aerial inspection of benches and slopes. It improves volumetric accuracy while reducing personnel exposure in hazardous terrain.
Painpoints
Manual stockpile measurement is slow and inconsistent
High risk during bench and slope inspections
Limited visibility in steep or unstable terrain
Infrequent data updates impacting planning
Advantages
LiDAR-enabled volumetric accuracy
Safe, aerial inspection of hazardous zones
Faster data collection cycles
Improved planning and compliance reporting
