A visitor came past with a question about his setup, and ended up getting a walkthrough of the DJI Dongle 2 on the Matrice 4T. It strengthens the link between the aircraft and the controller, which matters when you are flying over hills, over trees, or at distance.

Small accessory. Big difference on the right site.

This is the kind of conversation you only get standing next to someone who actually flies these things.

Two questions come up at every mining stand. What can the drone do, and what does it mean for my risk.

We are joined at Stand A08 by Special Risks. A drone on a mine site is an aircraft, flying expensive payloads over live operations. That changes what needs covering, and what an insurer needs to see from you first. Most operations find that out too late.

Thank you to the iTOO team for partnering with us this week.

Stand A08 until Friday.

We are bringing the DJI Agras spraying and spreading drones, Crop Pilot for mapping and mission planning, drone training and RPL licensing, and our after-sales and repair team.

If you have been wondering whether drone spraying makes sense on your lands, come and ask us properly. Kom maak 'n draai by Stand 25.

The best part of Electra Mining is not the stand. It is the questions.

Nobody came past asking what a drone is. They came with a pit to survey, a high wall to inspect, a stockpile to measure, or a perimeter to watch, and they wanted to know whether this actually works on their site.

Those are the right questions, and they are much more interesting to answer.

Hall 3 ,Stand A08 until Friday. Bring us the problem.

Day 1 at Stand A08, one very busy day. Good conversations, a lot of questions, and not much standing around. Back at it tomorrow morning.

Smaller. Faster. Everywhere.

The DJI Matrice 4 Series is a powerhouse. Out of the case, in the air, and covering the daily site work the big airframe does not need to be pulled out for.

Wide, medium tele and tele cameras at 48MP, plus a laser rangefinder out to 1800m. 112x zoom for inspecting infrastructure you cannot safely get near, and down to 0.5 lux in low light. The 4T adds a 640x512 thermal camera and NIR auxiliary light for night work.

Full accessory range too, including the AL1 spotlight and AS1 speaker.

Two variants, one platform. The 4T for thermal and night operations, the 4E for survey and mapping.

Six stages of a mine. One aircraft platform.

Most operations start with a drone for one job, usually surveying, then discover it covers the whole lifecycle.

1. Exploration and construction: thermal and LiDAR data for mineral vein identification
2. Drill and blast: terrain surveys feeding blast-hole layouts and explosive dosages
3. Load and transport: road network digital twins to spot hazards and cut haul costs
4. Operation management: Dock 3 running scheduled surveys around the clock
5. Safety monitoring: multi-temporal models for continuous landslide monitoring
6. Reclamation: tracking rehabilitation progress and supporting compliance

Same airframes, different payloads. That is what makes the business case work, because the aircraft is not sitting idle between survey cycles.

Swipe through all six, then come and see the hardware on the stand.

The importance of training, when flying drones.

Chiedza is our Repairs and Training After-Sales Support Manager. Every damaged aircraft that reaches her bench was flown by somebody. In her experience most of them were flown by somebody who never got the basic training, and was never compliant to begin with.

She sees the consequences of that gap every week. Then she teaches so there are fewer of them.
