FlytBase & Strayos Work Together to Improve Drone Operability in Mines
The FlytBase-Strayos integration seamlessly connects docked drone operations and automated surveys with Strayos’ digital twin and AI powered mining intelligence platform. By combining these solutions, FlytBase and Strayos help the mining industry increase site surveying and monitoring efficiency and team safety.
Why should Mine Sites and Quarries Implement Autonomous Drone Systems?
Why Drone autonomy? Autonomous Drone systems, or Drone - in - a - box solutions provide three massive advantages to mine sites and surveyors:
- Drones can be kept on site at all times and flown whenever needed
- Multiple drones can fly at once for large sites
- Operators can fly drones across multiple sites from one remote location
- Hardware agnostic- connect any drone
So whether you want efficiency or flexibility, a drone on demand to fly whenever you need to check on something on site without having to wait for pilot to arrive or having to interrupt your operations with a person on the field is a case for celebration. Perhaps you simply need regular monitoring but don’t have the manpower budget to dedicate a pilot to each site all the time.
Autonomous solutions offer a huge leg up to both site managers who need to optimize time and pilots who can’t be in two places at once.
Why FlytBase?
FlytBase is an operator-first software company that enables single pilots to manage a fleet, single APIs to talk to every drone, and a single mission to run anywhere on Earth. Flytbase is dedicated to creating a leading modular and hardware-agnostic drone autonomy platform that sets the industry standard for seamless end to end data capture integrations.
"Strayos and FlytBase offer a standard, tightly integrated solution that has already been tested, so customers don’t have to tinker with which software to choose, how to integrate it, or how to make sure their data flows are correct. We take care of all of it, so they get end-to-end value from a mature, turnkey solution."

Turning Data into Intelligence
While Flytbase simplifies and automates data collection, Strayos simplifies and automates data Intelligence. Strayos turns images and videos into milimeter accurate and geospatially tagged digital twins built specifically for the unique demands of the mining. Then it adds more than 50 different Physical World AI models onto that digital twin. From Drill and blast work flows to Site level intelligence. Strayos AI automates detections of site features like geology, haulroads, berms, and potholes. But it goes much further than merely detection, it provides analysis and prediction, from risk of slope failure, to potential implications of blast design including vibration, mucpile shape, and floor conditions.
Advantages in implementing Strayos:
- Accurate Digital Twins generated in seconds from Drone Data
- Automated and customizable measurements, analyses, and predictions
- Integrations with multiple data collection sources beyond drones
- Mine to Mill optimization with AI models for every step of the mining process from pit to plant.
So whether you are looking to increase efficiency by automating dull time consuming tasks like reporting and calculations, reduce waste by using AI to optimize workflows from drilling and blasting to loading and hauling, or increase safety and compliance by ensuring your site meets design and regulatory requirements, Strayos is the end to end solution for the challenges facing the mining industry.
Strayos + Flytbase
Strayos was already a leader within the industry for mining AI, and so when FlytBase sought a strategic partner, Strayos was the obvious pick. And for Strayos, integrating Flytbases Autonomous Drone Solution was a no brainer. Both Strayos and FlytBase aim to provide an end to end turnkey solutions that deliver essential data and results for their customers. And this is a big step forward in that direction.
"FytBase is doing a phenomenal job enabling dock operations, which benefits companies like us. The data capture through the docks and the data processing can be automated. We have Flinks as an integration with FlytBase: we pull the data and process it... The turnaround time of this intelligence for your next day is what matters. Better data, no manual work, quicker answers. That’s what you get out of Strayos."
- Ravi Sahu | CEO @ Strayos
Flinks- The Seamless Integration
What does this integration look like for users?
It starts in Flytbase where you plan your flights and gather the data. After a mission, users select the imagery, prepare an export, and share it through the Strayos Flink. The project and plan name identify where the files will be processed. Within the FlytBase integration, users can monitor model-processing status from the integration panel. Then when processing finishes, a link opens the completed model in Strayos. It’s that easy.
