Kespry Cloud: Measure Workspace - Inventory Volume
The Inventory Volume tool can be used to find the volume of stockpiles and pits on your mission.
To use the Inventory Volume tool follow the steps outlined below:
Navigate to the Measure Workspace in the Kespry Cloud.
To produce a better visualization of your pile you can select the DSM view from the dropdown above the toolbox. Using this view is optional. See Kespry Cloud: Measure Workspace - General Layout for more details.
Select Inventory Volume in the toolbox located at the bottom right of the screen.
Zoom into your pile and drop points in a clockwise or counter-clockwise to create a polygon. Double click on the last point of your polygon or click on the first point your dropped to close your polygon.
Navigate to the top left of your screen where you can proceed to enter in your volume details including: Name, Description, Density & Offset.
If you have set up your Manage Inventory Workspace (see Kespry Cloud: Manage Inventory Workspace for details), you can select Inventory under Volume Type, and select your pre established volume details instead of manual entry.
To establish a base for your pile you will have 1 of 3 options under Volume Calculations. The first option is Base Points.
To establish Base Points you will need to drop points in the elevation that you believe the base of your pile sits at.
Click and drop point as many sides of the pile as possible. If unable to drop points on all sides you can drop points at a similar elevation somewhere else on the mission.
Click on a point again to remove it.
For piles sitting on graded ground, base points should be placed on relatively consistent elevations.
For piles on sloping ground or uneven terrain, follow the grade of the ground to establish an accurate base. The Contour tool can be used to determine elevations and aid in base point placement, see Kespry Cloud: Measure Workspace - Layers for details.
Avoid dropping base points only on one side in a single line. Avoid dropping base points on your pile. Avoid dropping base points on any vegetation or water.
The second option for establishing a base is to select Fixed Elevation under Volume Calculation. If your pile lays on a consistent elevation this tool can be used to establish a base using a single elevation number instead of dropping base points.
The third option for establishing a base is to use a previously uploaded Design Plan. If you’ve uploaded a Design Plan for a specific mission you can use it to calculate your volumes. See Kespry Cloud: Settings for more details.
After establishing a base, click Save in the top left corner to view your volume calculations.
Polygon insights will appear in the top left corner of your screen. Polygon insights are as follows:
The Name, Description, Density and Volume Calculated of the polygon will appear as you entered them.
The Pile ID is a predetermined number associated with the polygon and will be associated with the polygon in reporting. See Kespry Cloud: Report Workspace for details.
The Area of the pile is the physical area of the polygon you drew.
The Cut Volume is the actual volume of the polygon captured without the density of the material taken into account.
The Fill Volume is the amount of material potentially under the base that was established for the pile. This number can be ignored or added into the Cut Volume. If your pile is on flat-graded ground this number should be very low.
The Cut Mass is the volume of the polygon captured with the density of the material taken into account.
The Fill Mass is the Fill Volume calculated with the density of the material.
Check your pile in the 3D View Workspace to confirm accuracy of your volume capture. See Kespry Cloud: 3D View Workspace for more details.
Review any alerts associated with the polygon and edit your polygon if needed.
To edit your pile click Edit and move your points or edit your data entry. The cross hair on the pile can be used to move the entire polygon and base points together.
