The right equipment is powerful. The right training makes it even more valuable.

Afgen recently completed the first day of Wingtra training at Exxaro, helping support practical knowledge transfer, confident operation and better adoption of aerial surveying technology in the field. Training plays a critical role in ensuring teams are equipped to use advanced survey solutions efficiently, safely and effectively.

For mining, construction and engineering environments, drone surveying technology can support faster data capture, improved site visibility and more informed decision-making. But the real value comes when teams understand how to apply that technology correctly within their own workflows.

Congratulations to Exxaro on their purchase, and well done to everyone involved in the training process. Afgen is proud to support South African teams with both the technology and the expertise needed to move surveying forward.
