Case Study: BARD Materials creates a single source of aggregates truth with Kespry

Reducing the Complexity of Inventory Measurement and Management Processes

BARD Materials, a leading ready mix concrete and aggregates producer in the Iowa-Illinois-Wisconsin region, needed a more accurate way to measure aggregate inventory and validate production. The company had been relying on belt scales, manual visual checks, and weekly site visits, which often failed to reflect true inventory levels. Kespry’s drone-based aerial intelligence platform was brought in to provide better inventory management and mine planning.

With Kespry, BARD Materials was able to regularly fly its 60 quarry and sandpit sites, capture reliable inventory data, and use the Kespry Cloud to share information across teams without phone calls or manual tracking. The result was improved visibility into demand, inventory, and production, better dump truck routing, and stronger confidence in the numbers. Kespry also helped BARD Materials maintain social distancing during COVID-19 by letting one person manage the entire workflow end to end.
