It also allows them to learn new skills and keep abreast of the latest technology . Exyn products are in line with existing industry methods , however we are far more advanced with our autonomy , mapping capabilities , and efficiency . This provides far greater ROI for mining companies that are working with us . Recently , USC Consulting did a white paper at one of our customers ’ sites in Alaska that can speak to this .”
Exyn has many developments planned , including expanded capabilities to support outdoor flights and remote actuation , allowing mines to use a single product for many different applications . This will change the way mapping and scheduling is done in mines by reducing the down time between blasting and mapping and reducing the need for personnel at the face .
“ We feel that our product is useful for small and large-scale mining operations ,” concludes Raffi Jabrayan . “ A single mine with an ExynAero or ExynPak will see immediate results . Larger operations will require larger fleets , but their ROI will be to scale . We have customers with a single site , others with eight sites . We provide the same level of service and support to all of them , as we know our products have become an integral part of their operations , and will help cut down time .”
Safety and sustainability – in and beyond the mine Digital technologies enhance worker safety by reducing the need for human operators to enter hazardous environments . Drones can be used for inspections in dangerous areas , and remote-controlled machinery can perform tasks that previously put employees at risk . In fact , safety has become the most important core value for all mining
