Automated inspections of equipment, conveyors, haul roads, and blast zones. Preventive maintenance and continuous operational visibility, without crew dispatch.
Stockpile volumetrics, post-blast hazard sweeps, tailings monitoring, all without survey crews on active pits. ISO 45001 aligned.
Continuous equipment monitoring shifts maintenance from emergency to planned. Automated photogrammetry produces stockpile volumes without survey crew mobilization. Post-blast hazard sweeps clear the bench before personnel re-entry. Nightly thermal patrols protect high-value assets from copper theft and fuel pilferage.
Repeatable close-range capture across draglines, shovels, crushing circuits, and conveyor lines. Frame-by-frame change tracking surfaces fatigue cracks, belt damage, and lubrication issues days before they pull a machine offline.
Once the shot fires, an autonomous sweep walks the bench from above, flagging misfires, fly-rock, fume pockets, and unstable highwall before a single boot returns to the floor. Re-entry calls happen on evidence, not on the clock.
Shift-long overhead coverage of the working face and haul circuit. Tight machine spacing, edge berm wear, drainage failures, and slope movement are flagged to dispatch in time to redirect traffic, not to write up an incident.
Scheduled photogrammetric flights rebuild every pile as a 3D mesh and post tonnages straight to inventory. Loaders keep working, surveyors stay on higher-value tasks, and reconciliation numbers stop drifting between month-ends.
Daily dual-band passes over the embankment and pond. Thermal contrast picks up cool seepage lines and damp toe zones; visual diff flags fresh cracking, settlement, and pipe wear long before a TSF engineer would catch it on a quarterly walk.
A monthly perimeter run covers MV feeders, slurry and water lines, access tracks, and outlying buildings. The result is a stitched, time-stamped record that planners use to schedule repairs and trim the budget for emergency callouts.
An alarm, whether slip, fire, or vehicle rollover, auto-launches the nearest node. Within minutes, the IC has live overhead video, a thermal overlay, and a read on access routes, so rescue teams move toward a known scene instead of into one.
Randomised night routes around the fence line, fuel bay, workshop, and substation. Thermal cues catch intruders, idling vehicles, and tampering at the gate; the same loop deters the cable cutters and diesel siphoning that drive most remote-site loss.
For mine sites within 10km of an Aerion node. Multi-customer node infrastructure. Standard equipment, stockpile, and tailings cadence. Faster onboarding.
Dedicated node for active pits requiring per-shift haul-road monitoring, post-blast hazard sweeps, and continuous tailings surveillance. 8-12 week deployment.
Identifies structural cracks, component damage, belt wear, and mechanical failures on conveyors, crushers, and trucks.
Detects overheating motors, bearing failures, electrical hotspots, and equipment malfunctions before catastrophic failure.
Compares aerial imagery over time to flag slope movement, settlement, erosion patterns, and infrastructure degradation.
Analyzes belt alignment, roller condition, material spillage, and structure integrity. Automates inspection documentation.
Generates precise stockpile boundaries from aerial imagery for accurate volume calculations and inventory tracking.
Identifies potholes, washouts, debris, and drainage issues. Proactive road maintenance before equipment damage or delays.
Detects unauthorized vehicles, personnel in restricted zones, equipment tampering, and theft activity during after-hours patrols.
Analyzes post-blast areas for misfires, unstable ground, debris hazards, and access obstructions before personnel re-entry.
Tartu, Estonia operates the EU's only fully-operational U-space regulatory sandbox. Aerion operates inside this framework. That compresses BVLOS approval cycles that take 12-24 months elsewhere in Europe to weeks for our customers.
