This paper presents an automated methodology for on-demand inventory of coal dumps and heaps, addressing the limitations of traditional manual surveying techniques. The proposed system integrates Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for rapid spatial data acquisition, IoT sensors for real-time monitoring of environmental parameters, and the QGIS open-source Geographic Information System for data processing and volume calculation. The methodology details the process of generating accurate Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) from UAV imagery using OpenDroneMap software and subsequent volume calculation using a custom algorithm developed within the QGIS Model Designer. This algorithm addresses the challenges of data processing, including the removal of “bad pixels” and geometric correction, to ensure accurate volume estimations. The results demonstrate the potential of the integrated system to provide accurate and timely inventory data, crucial for optimizing coal demand forecasting, production planning, and distribution logistics. This approach offers significant advantages over traditional methods by enhancing safety, reducing labor intensity, and enabling more frequent and precise measurements. The developed solution aligns with the goals of the Polish “Dynamic management of coal demand, production, resource management, and distribution logistics in an economy implementing a decarbonized energy mix” (DynGOSP) project, supporting the modernization of the Polish coal mining sector.
