Ball mill inspection with Elios 3
A drone-based internal mill-inspection proof of concept, developed in collaboration with GammaTec.
Our expertise
Mining technology
Apply inspection and digital tools to a defined engineering problem. Our mining-technology scope combines confined-space inspection, three-dimensional asset information and practical applications of technical data.
Discuss an inspection or digital requirementThe operating challenge
Start with what
the asset needs.
Difficult access and fragmented information can make asset assessment and technical decisions harder. We start with the site requirement, then select an inspection or digital approach that produces useful engineering information.
How we can help
Scope with a clear purpose.
Confined-space inspection
- Collision-tolerant Elios 3 drone inspection

- Internal infrastructure and confined-space assessment
- Visual and thermal inspection information
- Condition information for maintenance planning
3D mapping & digital twins
- Point-cloud generation and three-dimensional modelling
- Confined-space mapping and asset visualisation
- Structural assessment information
- Volumetric calculations
- Digital-twin applications defined around mining requirements
Technical information & analytics
- Custom retrieval-augmented generation for technical documents
- Maintenance-manual analysis and knowledge-base development
- Technical-query handling and procedure support
- Bespoke pattern recognition and anomaly detection
- Predictive analytics and decision-support applications
