Traditionally, long, medium and short-range plans are prepared by multiple departments, teams and software. This gives planners an immediate source of data for continuous modelling. HxGN MinePlan 3D integrates with Imago so planners can reference the database of core images while they build geological models.īy syncing the imagery with planning software, the mine could base its workflow off the core sample imagery. There was no easy way to make use of the imagery without the necessary photos downloaded to a computer. It provides fundamental information for building a geological model.Īt Tenke Fungurume mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the challenges was sharing imagery with those designing geological models. Extracting valueĪnalyzing core samples is common in the exploration phase of a mine. ![]() Since then, we have seen many examples of mines connecting their processes through Hexagon’s technology to make their mines smart. ![]() This means better collaboration and decision-making for your team. Smart mines utilize integrated technologies to share information and connect processes across the whole mining value chain. A smart mine goes beyond adopting the newest technology trends. IoT devices connect and communicate with other devices on the network to provide shared information and feedback.Ī while back, we sat down with our Chief Technology Officer, Rob Daw, to get his take on what makes a mine smart. A connected smart device goes a step further by connecting to a data network, giving users the ability to monitor and control the device remotely. Smart devices are capable of autonomous computing to perform specific tasks without direction from a human. ![]() There are three levels of technologies: smart, connected and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, it has become a buzz word that can be confusing. ‘Smart’ started as an acronym: self-monitoring analysis and reporting technologies.
