Stockpile Estimation with Drone-Based Volumetrics
Accurate, repeatable volume measurements for aggregates and bulk materials—delivered quickly with clear reporting to support inventory, planning, and reconciliation.
From Flight to Volume Report—A Clear, Defensible Workflow
Hermes Drone Solutions LLC captures high-resolution aerial imagery and produces 3D surface models to calculate stockpile volumes with consistent methodology across sites and time periods.
Deliverables can include per-pile volumes, total site quantities, annotated maps, and supporting model outputs to align with your internal reporting and audit needs.
Why it matters
Better Inventory Decisions with Reliable Volumetrics
Drone-based stockpile estimation reduces time on site while improving consistency across measurements—ideal for operations that need frequent, comparable reporting.
Repeatable Measurements
Consistent capture and processing methods help you compare volumes across weeks, months, and seasons.
Faster Turnaround
Rapid data capture and efficient processing support timely inventory and production planning.
Improved Site Safety
Minimize time near active equipment, steep faces, and unstable material slopes.
Clear Reporting
Receive organized outputs with per-pile and total quantities, plus supporting visuals for stakeholders.
Scalable for Multi-Site Operations
Standardized deliverables make it easier to roll up reporting across yards, pits, and terminals.
Supports Reconciliation
Use consistent volume reporting to support inventory reconciliation and operational reviews.
