DIGITAL MINE MAPPING SOFTWARE SOLUTION

Overview:

Real-time analysis of data collected from systems has revolutionized how modern businesses are
run, providing that much-needed edge to save time and reduce costs significantly. In the mining
business, annual or quarterly mapping of sites and manual data collection while incurring
downtime can now be a thing of the past. This digital mine mapping software, embedded with
several other features, is designed to provide a comprehensive and accurate representation of the
underground and surface mining environments. It integrates photogrammetry and LiDAR survey
data into a realistic, interactive 3D map that you and your team can understand. This 3D map can
be used in decision-making and planning.

Key Features of the System:

 3D Visualization: This feature will serve to enable users to view the mine layout, tunnels,
shafts, and other structures in three dimensions, which will help the mining team
understand the spatial relationships and identify potential hazards. It literally renders the
site from a new perspective.

 Data Integration: Allows for the integration of geological data, drilling logs, survey data,
and other relevant information to create a holistic view of the mine.

 Real-time Monitoring: Provides real-time updates on equipment location, production

rates, and environmental conditions. This will aid in monitoring operations and ensuring
safety.

 Simulation and Analysis: Our novel mine simulation technology offers tools for
simulating different mining scenarios, analyzing ore reserves, and optimizing production
processes.

 Safety Monitoring: The system also includes features for monitoring air quality, detecting
equipment malfunctions, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

 Collaboration Tools: Facilitates collaboration among teams by allowing them to share

maps, annotations, and reports.

 Predictive Maintenance: Machine learning algorithms within the system will analyze
equipment sensor data for early identification of potential failures. This will be achieved by
implementing predictive maintenance models that alert maintenance teams before critical
issues occur, thereby reducing downtime.
  Resource Allocation Optimization: Historical data will be analyzed and used to predict
optimal mining locations based on mineral type and geological features. This will be
achieved by deploying machine learning models that suggest efficient resource allocation
strategies, maximizing yield.

 Risk Mitigation and Safety Enhancement: Analyzing incident reports and environmental
data to identify patterns leading to safety hazards has been made easy. This will be done by
developing predictive models to anticipate potential risks, enabling proactive safety
measures and risk mitigation strategies.

Benefits:

Improved Safety: By providing a clear view of the mine environment and real-time
monitoring capabilities, potential hazards can easily and quickly be identified, ensuring
workplace and personnel safety.

Optimized Operations: Turn your days into minutes with real-time data, capture data
without interfering with work and machinery, and also revolutionize your business with
better planning and decision-making based on accurate information on resource locations,
equipment status, and production rates.

Cost Savings: Minimize project costs on a holistic level, optimize equipment utilization,
and significantly reduce downtime.

Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with regulatory requirements will also be done in

real-time by providing accurate data and monitoring capabilities.

Integration and Compatibility:

The digital mine mapping software solution will be designed to integrate seamlessly with other
mining systems and technologies, such as:

 Geographic Information Systems (GIS): For spatial data analysis and visualization.

 Mine management systems: which are essential for integrating with production,
maintenance, and logistics systems.

 IoT Devices: For collecting real-time data from sensors, i.e., LiDAR, drones, and other
devices.
