Published purpose
The mineral exploration industry requires a fully automated exploration drill, and the Drillco system is ready to address the market need by improving its already developed system. The firm has spent over a year creating a growth plan which includes the development of an online portal for clients to access all their drilling metrics data. Further, the firm plans to roll out mast automation features focused on improving productivity and safety. The Drillco Automation Phase 1 project focuses on the automation of rod pulling, thread make/break, along with the introduction of cruise mode.
