Case Study: Rudus achieves faster, more accurate stockpile inventory with Propeller Aero

How Rudus uses Propeller to plan production, understand their costs, and ultimately save remarkable amounts each year

Rudus, a leading manufacturer of stone-based building materials in Finland, faced challenges with production planning and cost estimation. Their manual and outsourced methods for measuring stockpile volumes were slow and inaccurate, leading to miscommunication and inefficient site visits. Propeller Aero provided a drone-based surveying solution to address these issues.

By implementing the Propeller platform, Rudus gained fast, accurate 3D site data and measurements. This allowed them to calculate production volumes, forecast costs, and reduce the need for physical travel. Propeller Aero helped Rudus achieve significant cost savings, estimating annual savings in the six-figure euro range through improved inventory tracking and more efficient operations.
