Stockpile monitoring dashboard we built in-house | DroneMapper Forum

Stockpile monitoring dashboard we built in-house

Our mining client wanted weekly volume reports but got tired of waiting for us to process and deliver. So we built them a dashboard.

Drone flights auto-upload to DroneDeploy, processing kicks off automatically, volumes calculate against the base surface, and results push to a Power BI dashboard. Client can see near-real-time inventory.

Took about 2 months to set up but now it's mostly hands-off. Happy to share the architecture if anyone's interested.

This is exactly what we need. What's the latency from flight to dashboard update? And how are you handling the base surface - static or does it update?

@CadCraig Yes, API for triggering processing and pulling results. The documentation isn't great but their support team was helpful. DM me if you want to compare notes.

@MiningMark About 4 hours from landing to dashboard, mostly processing time. Base surface updates monthly - we fly a clean stockpile area and that becomes the new reference.

Are you using the DroneDeploy API for this? Been wanting to do something similar but their API documentation is sparse.
