<p>Wingfield Scale and Measure, a Chattanooga, Tennessee-based scale and data acquisition company, has integrated the eBee X fixed-wing drone into its surveying operations to enhance speed, efficiency, and accuracy in stockpile volume calculations. Traditionally, such surveys posed challenges due to factors like site size, material type, and safety concerns. By employing the eBee X, Wingfield has been able to complement and validate their LiDAR measurements, ensuring precise data collection. In a recent project for a cement plant, the eBee X was utilized alongside terrestrial equipment to survey various stockpile sizes and materials. The drone's aerial data effectively filled in areas that were inaccessible or not visible to terrestrial laser scans, resulting in comprehensive and accurate datasets.</p>
<p>The integration of the eBee X has also improved operational efficiency and safety for Wingfield. The drone's ability to quickly cover mid-to-large-scale sites with high-precision photogrammetry has reduced the time and manpower required for surveys. Additionally, its user-friendly design and ease of use have enabled Wingfield's team to meet high accuracy requirements without extensive training. This technological advancement not only enhances the quality of data collected but also minimizes on-site risks, aligning with Wingfield's commitment to safety and accuracy in their services.</p>
