Humens produces in France sodium bicarbonate which is essential for dialysis for exemple but also for several other markets. The necessary limestone is extracted from a quarry where the cutting lines and the routes of the extraction and transport machines are entirely digitalized.
A UAV carries out a monthly topographical survey, and the data are then interpreted locally to determine future extraction zones and access routes. This digitalization allows better forecasting of operations and greatly improves the safety of personnel movements in the quarry.
