Case Study: Turner Mining Group

As a contract miner, tracking the volumes of material moved is a key problem for Turner Mining Group. Historical methods, such as traditional surveying, were inaccurate, time consuming, and involved down time for the operation. So Turner Mining Group decided to use Firmatek’s Drone Solutions to ensure correct volumes are reported when it makes sense for them, such as at the beginning, middle, and end of a project. They fly the drone when they need it, and Firmatek processes the data for them. It is fast and easy to capture data on site, and they have the ability to ship the drone easily to sites around the country.

Using Firmatek’s Drone Solutions, Turner Mining Group has streamlined its billing process, increased efficiencies in reconciling truck loads and actual material moved, and improved operational efficiencies overall by improving their knowledge of their sites and making adjustments to their assumptions on a frequent basis. They have improved their decision-making processes by incorporating Firmatek’s Drone Solutions into their operations, and it has made them more efficient and profitable.
