Monitoring coal stocks using surveillance drones offers a highly efficient and accurate method for inventory management and security. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, LiDAR sensors, and thermal imaging, drones can capture real-time aerial data to provide 3D mapping and volumetric analysis of coal stockpiles. This data enables precise calculation of stock levels, reducing human error and the need for manual surveys. Additionally, drones integrated with AI-based software can detect anomalies such as theft or unauthorized access and monitor environmental factors like dust emissions. The use of GPS-enabled drones ensures automated flight paths for consistent monitoring, while real-time data transmission to cloud-based platforms allows for seamless data analysis and reporting. This advanced surveillance solution enhances operational efficiency, safety, and resource management in coal stock monitoring.
Highlights
Monitoring coal stocks ensures that sufficient inventory is maintained to avoid production downtime at power plants and other coal-dependent industries.
Accurate tracking helps manage coal procurement costs by avoiding both overstocking, which ties up capital, and understocking, which leads to expensive emergency purchases.
Continuous monitoring helps governments and companies track the availability of coal reserves, ensuring strategic energy supplies during times of crisis or fluctuations in the global market.
Effective monitoring can help reduce environmental impacts by optimizing coal usage, preventing excessive emissions during storage and transportation, and mitigating hazards like spontaneous combustion.
