Challenge
As a large, well respected consulting firm overlooking and managing various remote mine sites, Krypton Mining Principal Consultant Lou Moller was in search of a solution that would allow them seamless visual access to the remote project sites. He needed to be able to walk the site doing visual and audit inspections and report back to Corporate Stakeholders in detail.
