Canadian mapping software company SimActive has added additional capacity to be able to automatically assess multiple volumes of material (aggregates and other material) for projects and to report based upon the findings.
If the same area is being flown, users can then compare the volumes and access differences over time. This allows companies to be able to better plan based upon their current and projected needs, adding or decreasing materials acquisition based upon usage.
“Facilitating volume calculation reduces the associated costs for our clients”, said Louis
Simard, CTO at SimActive. “Our new workflow is thus a definite advantage for users in
multiple industries, including mining, forestry and construction.”
Below is their recent press release:
SimActive Speeds Up Stockpile Measurement with Drones
Montreal, Canada, March 3 rd , 2020 – SimActive Inc., a world-leading developer of
photogrammetry software, announces an enhanced workflow in Correlator3D™ to accelerate
stockpile measurement. The new capability allows to automatically assess multiple volumes
within the same project and output comprehensive reports.
If the same area is regularly flown, the new workflow also allows to easily compare
volumetric values to assess differences in time. In addition, change detection can be
performed to precisely quantity variations in topography.
“Facilitating volume calculation reduces the associated costs for our clients”, said Louis
Simard, CTO at SimActive. “Our new workflow is thus a definite advantage for users in
multiple industries, including mining, forestry and construction.”
