RocketDNA | When mine sites run lean survey teams, theyโre often only one sick day away from overloading their surveyors.

We often see mines rely on survey teams to deliver EOM or time-critical reports quickly.
When multiple staff are away, it can mean making tough choices about what gets deprioritised.
One Senior Surveyor reached out to our team on a Friday afternoon, he had three reports due by Monday:
a post-blast clearance, ROM stockpile volumes, and a highwall inspection for the geotech team.
The issue? Two of his three-person team were down with the flu and out for the week.
He couldnโt decide whether to skip the stockpile survey, delay the highwall inspection, or tell the Ops team their blast clearance had to wait.
So, he reached out to us.
With our drone-in-a-box xBot already installed on site, we were able to take on the extra work over the weekend.
Piloted by our operators remotely, we delivered all 3 capture missions by Monday morning.
Uploaded to our cloud-based platform, SiteTube, all the data was immediately available to teams across site.
As a Senior Surveyor, it doesnโt matter that you canโt be in three places at once.
In situations like this, the work will land on your desk anyway.
Thatโs why we run remote operations centres from WA and SA, 7 days a week.
We can help mines handle last minute requests and also show them how to ease surveyor stress by automating routine, repetitive survey work.
