Maximum safety: Avoid entering unstable areas. ASIO X performs the initial visual assessment in danger zones while the team operates from a safe distance.
High-precision 3D mapping: Create detailed 3D point clouds of ore deposits and tunnels for accurate volume calculations and monitoring of structural changes.
Minimized downtime: Rapid deployment allows for spontaneous inspections without costly closures, ensuring smooth mine operations.
challenges
Underground operations are characterized by complete darkness, heavy dust, and the absence of GPS. We offer solutions to overcome these obstacles.
Complete darkness and lack of orientation
Conventional cameras without a light source are useless in large cavities. The market-leading 40,000-lumen lighting system of the ASIO X illuminates shafts without shadows, while the lidar system enables precise navigation and 3D mapping without GPS.
Extreme dust exposure
Thick dust often blinds optical sensors and causes crashes. Our radar-based stabilization detects obstacles even through dense dust clouds and keeps the drone safely on track where other systems lose their bearings.
Danger from invisible mine gases
Toxic gases or oxygen deficiency are a constant threat underground. The ASIO X's integrated 4-gas measurement continuously monitors the atmosphere (H2S, CO, O2, LEL) and provides the team with vital safety data before entering the area.
Flybotix ASIO X
The ASIO X is the technological answer to the conditions in mining. With a flight time of 20 minutes and a robust protective cage, it can easily explore narrow shafts. The lidar system also allows physical measurements to be taken of defects for complete documentation.
