Why drones make sense for the waste management industry?
The process is inherently dangerous, inefficient and not at all scalable for enterprises with multiple sites.
Conversely, our drone solutions bring high levels of automation throughout the entire process: from data collection right through to accurate computation of available airspace, meaning the process can be completed quickly and most importantly; safely! Cloud computing and storage means your IT infrastructure doesn’t need to do any of the heavy lifting and subject matter experts and finance personnel can interact with the data remotely.

Why drones make sense for the waste management industry?
Traditional surveying methods include skilled surveyors clambering around hazardous areas of a site with expensive terrestrial surveying equipment like GNSS rovers, Total Stations, or 3D laser scanners.

Drone solutions that deliver reliable landfill surveys
A combination of precise global positioning of the drone, millions of pixels of positional data, and intelligent analytics software combine to deliver a digital 3D reconstruction of the surface of the entire site, including the cells positioned within it.
Once the cell areas have been defined, the software takes the height of millions of points across each cell’s digital surface and compares this with either a theoretical model of the cell base, or an imported surveyed base, to compute the volume of waste currently in the cell. This data allows available airspace and cell lifespan to be reliably calculated.
Current volumes can also be compared against previously calculated volumes to show changes over time.

Advantages of a drone programme
Improved data collection speed
FASTER TIME-TO-DATA
With our turnkey drone solutions, users are able to upload their images and receive the processed data in a matter of HOURS, not weeks!
RICHER DATA FROM MORE REGULAR SURVEYS
REDUCED SURVEYING COSTS
This saving is even more impressive when a business is able to reduce their reliance on outsourced surveying.
