01 / Spatial foundation
A map teams can use.
Build an orthomosaic, point cloud and terrain baseline in the agreed coordinate system. Keep coverage and ground-control records alongside the engineering outputs.
Mining digitization
Keep the plan close
to the ground.
Give mine planning and operations teams a current view of terrain, stockyards and haul routes. Recurring drone capture, spatial comparison and inventory reporting turn site changes into a reviewable record in Flybi V7.
A closer look / Motion overview
Keep a changing operation in perspective.
Follow original whole-yard imagery, a surface rendering and a genuine V7 map. These are workflow references, not a before-and-after comparison.

Begin with a common reference.

Site baselineBuild the spatial record.
A processed surface connects the site geometry with the measurement task. Keep the reference, capture date and quality checks with the output.
Surface modelBring the model into the workflow.
The actual V7 Yard Map shows how location, pile boundaries and material context support an inventory review. Site-identifying details are withheld.
Site and inventory view
A shared site view
Different teams.
The same site context.
Select a working view. Each discipline asks different questions of the same spatial foundation.
Terrain reviewWorkflow illustration using a source spatial visualConnected review
See what changed.
Compare suitable capture epochs and keep changes in terrain or earthworks tied to a common coordinate and measurement basis.
Agree the capture interval, control and comparison method before relying on a change calculation.
Explore terrain intelligenceA repeatable programme
Refresh the evidence.
Preserve the baseline.
02 / Change review
A consistent comparison.
Compare compatible capture dates to review earthworks, pile quantities and site layout. Relate the change to its area, period and measurement basis before reconciling with operations.
03 / Reporting cadence
An agreed handover.
Combine the current site view with a progress brief and stockpile ledger at the agreed cadence. Weekly operations and monthly leadership reviews may require different breakdowns.
How the work comes together
Build a programme around the mine.
01 / Mobilise
Scope the site and constraints.
Review boundaries, access, terrain, airspace, production activity and existing data with the relevant site team.
02 / Repeat
Capture against a stable basis.
Maintain the capture and quality record so a later visit can be compared meaningfully with the baseline.
03 / Use
Review through V7.
Review the current spatial record, dated captures and agreed outputs through V7. Define the handover to mine planning, stores or finance; specialist monitoring and integrations have their own scope.
Explore the review
A site keeps moving.
Keep the context.
Move through the capture sequence to see how repeat field capture becomes a useful comparison.

03 / Compare
Give the change a basis.
Review differences against a common reference. Keep coverage, method and limitations beside the comparison so teams know what the update can support.

Scope it carefully
Useful updates start
with the right basis.
Does the programme have to be weekly?
No. Set the cadence around the rate of site change and the decisions being supported. Access, production activity and weather also affect the capture window; the project scope should make the interval clear.
Can spatial data establish slope safety?
Spatial evidence may support a geotechnical review, but a general site model is not a substitute for validated slope monitoring or a competent geotechnical assessment.
Will stockpile data reconcile automatically with our ERP?
Only if the necessary records, material mapping and an agreed integration are available. Measured quantities and book records should remain distinguishable until reconciled.
What should we provide first?
Share the mine boundary, existing measurement reference, the teams and decisions to support, required cadence, known access constraints and preferred outputs.
