Let’s Evolve the Workplace
In the past decade, aggregate producers (gravel, sand, asphalt, concrete, etc.) have been the fastest adopters of drones in the world, and the reasons are numerous. Traditional methods of measuring material, whether that’s running trucks over the scale, having a survey team come in and walk with a wheel, running material over a belt scale, or even the old thumb-out-the-window method, are either inaccurate, time-consuming, expensive, a combination of the those, you name it.
Spending thousands of dollars to weigh individual stockpiles is a thing of the past. With a drone and Botlink’s pile measurement tool, you can fly your site on your time. It’s just as accurate, if not more accurate, as traditional means at a fraction of the cost. There’s a reason InSites is used around the world to measure stockpiles - it’s what we are built to do - no extra bells and whistles.

Hear from Our Customers
“I have been using Botlink's solution/software for 2 years now and have had around 100 successful flights. This has made inventory management much easier, time effective, and cheaper than hiring a third party. I am able to do a flight at noon and have site results by 4pm the same day without having any special hardware besides my drone. Botlink has always been great about service and has been a call away for me if I had any questions with the product – I’d absolutely recommend the product to others.”
Cameron M. – Plant Supervisor – Aggregate Industries Inc.
“I’m using Botlink for stockpile volume measurements and near-real time images for productions crews. I like the ease of use – simple and straight-forward and incredibly responsive support the best. The metric units in the contour map exports is something I’d like to see changed. I would absolutely recommend Botlink – it’s a great value.“

Hear from Our Customers
Pulling real-time stockpile numbers on-site can easily boost employee efficiency by assuring that materials are not over or under-produced. Moving equipment before necessary material is produced can cost a site hours in delays, as can over producing a material when the team’s time could have been better used.
Team members can easily generate automated stockpile inventory management reports for auditors. That includes the volume material type, density, tonnage and other tracking notes for every stockpile.
Mine worker safety is increased by keeping employees off of unstable and dangerous piles. This doesn’t mean quality is sacrificed. Evaluate onsite conditions of blast areas, benches and haul roads using high-resolution imagery with accuracies down to .5 cm per pixel.
