Accurate Inventory of Bulk Materials with Drones

Do you truly know how much stock you have?

Many companies storing bulk materials—sand, gravel, ores, crushed stone, or waste streams—face the same challenge: the actual inventory is never quite certain. Traditional measurement methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often inaccurate. The result? Uncertainty during audits, inefficient logistics, and potential financial risks.

Droneview.be offers a modern solution with professional drone technology and RTK precision.


Why traditional inventory falls short

With classic stockpile measurements, employees are deployed to climb heaps, take manual readings, or make estimates based on delivery notes. This entails three concrete problems:

  • Safety Risks: Climbing large stockpiles is dangerous and falls under preventive workplace safety concerns.
  • Time Loss: A full inventory of a large site can take days to complete.
  • Inaccuracy: Manual measurements or visual estimates can result in discrepancies of 5 to 15%—which has a significant financial impact on large volumes.
