The Biggest Stockpile Measured by iPhone in 2015 | Stockpile Reports

Customers finished measuring their 2015 Q1 stockpile inventory, and also March’s inventory last week.

We were expecting for business to be busy measuring material at the end of March, and we were not disappointed! There was a flurry of activity all over the globe.

As usual, there were many types of materials and stockpile sizes measured, but we were impressed when we saw a huge stockpile measured in Q1, boasting these stats:

  • Cubic Yards: 151,782 
  • Tonnage : 197,317
  • Collected Method : iPhone
  • Time to Measure : 16 minutes 33 seconds

Measuring a stockpile this large by an iPhone is unusual. Often piles this size are measured aerially for the most optimal results. Here is what it looks like:

Here are some of the stockpile images captured via video during the iphone measurement, which were then combined using our patent-pending software algorithms for the volume results.
