2021 eBee Effect Video Contest - 1st Place Winner
eBee Effect Video Contest 2021 - Congratulations to 1st Place Winner Mauricio Arango, Senior Mining Engineer with Drummond Ltd. This South American mining company is currently the top exporter of coal in Colombia with operations across 40,000 ha (98,842 A) and 1.3 billion tons of coal reserves.
Watch Mauricio share how the eBee X fixed-wing drone was selected for its operational safety, compatibility with GPS, high accuracy and ability to cover large areas. Following internal training, this game-changing tool helped Drummond become the first mining company of drone operators certified by the Colombian Aviation Agency.
Today, the rapid production of photogrammetry data such as 3D models and high-precision topography has been a huge advantage for their mining and environmental planning processes. Most importantly, however, the eBee X has replaced high-risk activities required of ground personnel for measuring coal piles and earthworks across their entire operation.
Supported by their fleet of eBee X, Drummond designed a safe and effective management system for using drones along and put together a great training team which together, enable this operation to address their current challenges and the growth that the future holds.
