Case Study: Maurer & Scott boosts blasting accuracy and efficiency with Strayos

Maurer & Scott increases production 10x with Strayos

Maurer & Scott, a blasting services and explosives supplier, sought to upgrade their terrestrial mapping system to an aerial drone-based solution for improved accuracy and efficiency in 2017. Their technical representative, Zach Tobias, was tasked with finding the best 3D photogrammetry software but discovered the AI platform Strayos offered a far more comprehensive suite of tools tailored for the mining and quarrying industries.

Strayos provided a cloud-based AI platform that delivered highly accurate 3D photogrammetry and a suite of drill and blast features, including shot plan layout, burden optimization, and muckpile prediction. The solution enabled Maurer & Scott to map areas inaccessible to terrestrial scanners, collaborate easily across locations, and process multiple models simultaneously, drastically increasing field efficiency. This resulted in a significant productivity boost, including a reported 10x output increase at one quarry, while also enhancing safety and reducing error risk.
