Technology

Kayrros Supply Tracker uses SAR technology to identify changes in a designated area between two measurements. Changes may signal a pit that became deeper, a stockpile that grew taller, or a truck that drove away. A change index is calculated across the active area of the mine to provide a time series of mining activity.
