Transforming mining insights

May 22, 2024

Underground safety, productivity and profitability 

In today's dynamic mining landscape, technological advancements have become a primary force behind continual progress and innovation to underpin the bottom line. The modern mining company is powered by advanced technologies impacting every aspect of the mining process. From exploration and extraction to processing and transportation, technology has reshaped the way we approach mining operations, unlocking new possibilities and driving unprecedented efficiency. 

Key Technological Innovations Transforming Mining: 

Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI):
 By harnessing the power of big data and AI algorithms, mining companies can analyse vast amounts of geological and operational data to identify patterns, optimize extraction, and make data-driven decisions in real-time across an entire mine site. 

Automation and Robotics:
Automation has emerged as a game-changer in mining operations, enabling the deployment of autonomous vehicles, drones, and robotic systems to perform tasks with precision and efficiency. From autonomous haulage trucks to unmanned aerial vehicles for surveying, automation minimises human intervention, improves safety, and enhances productivity. 

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): 
VR and AR technologies are transforming the way mining companies visualise and plan their operations. From immersive training simulations to interactive mine planning and design, VR and AR enable mining companies and their partners to visualise complex mine environments and scenarios, improving decision-making and collaboration. 

At Digital Terrian we are proud to lead the charge in leveraging cutting-edge Drone and Lidar technology to transform mining insights, maximise efficiency, and deliver digital twins to advance these technologies of your entire operation in days not weeks.

Magman Stocktake New Features Stocktake compliance and balancing your magazine is a key regulatory requirement. Magman has always been focused on this through proactive alerting and email notifications. This has now been improved further by introducing a new stocktake validation workflow. This workflow prevents other transactions occurring if the magazine does not balance and requires approval via designated persons to proceed past an imbalanced magazine. The updated Magman system ensures seamless regulatory compliance and reduced downtime by enforcing users to complete a stocktake each shift prior to any other magazine transactions, removing any guesswork or administration level controls in the stock validation process and immediately requiring intervention if it does not balance. Here’s the new Magman stocktake workflow:

In the bustling ecosystem of the mining industry, where efficiency and innovation are paramount, Digital Terrain's flagship product, Simbio, stands as the embodiment of synergy and harmony. Just as flowers and bees, or clownfish and anemones, thrive through their symbiotic relationships, Simbio brings together the diverse elements of Digital Terrain's portfolio to create a seamless, integrated solution that transforms the way mining operations are managed and executed. The Power of Symbiosis: Uniting Strengths for Unparalleled Success At its core, Simbio is about the interconnectedness of all components within the Digital Terrain suite. This revolutionary product combines the strengths of PLAN, MANAGE, PLOD, Magman, IoT, Digitisation Services, and Integration Solutions, forging a unified platform that enhances every aspect of mining operations. Just as bees and flowers depend on each other for survival and growth, each element within Simbio works in perfect harmony, ensuring that data flows seamlessly, operations run smoothly, and productivity reaches new heights. PLAN: The Blueprint for Success Every great endeavor begins with a plan, and in the mining world, precision planning is the cornerstone of success. Simbio’s PLAN module is the architect of operational excellence, providing detailed blueprints that guide every phase of the mining process. With real-time data access and sophisticated analytics, PLAN ensures that every decision is informed, every action is deliberate, and every outcome is optimized. It’s not just planning; it’s orchestrating a symphony of success. MANAGE: The Conductor of Operations Once the blueprint is set, the MANAGE module takes the baton, conducting the day-to-day operations with unmatched efficiency. MANAGE brings clarity and control, allowing operators to oversee every facet of the mining process in real-time. It’s the heartbeat of the operation, ensuring that everything runs in perfect rhythm, much like the harmonious relationship between clownfish and anemones, where each supports the other to thrive in their shared environment. PLOD: Precision and Performance In the fast-paced world of mining, precision and performance are paramount. The PLOD module of Simbio delivers just that, providing real-time tracking and reporting of on-site activities. It ensures that every action is recorded, every movement is monitored, and every task is executed with pinpoint accuracy. PLOD is the watchful eye that guarantees safety, boosts productivity, and drives the operation towards its goals. Magman: Mastering the Flow of Resources Resource management is the lifeblood of any mining operation, and Magman is the master of this domain within Simbio. It optimizes the allocation and utilization of resources, ensuring that every asset is used to its fullest potential. Magman is the keystone species in the Simbio ecosystem, balancing supply and demand, much like bees pollinate flowers to ensure the continuity of their symbiotic relationship. IoT: The Pulse of Innovation In the age of digital transformation, the Internet of Things (IoT) is the pulse that keeps the Simbio ecosystem alive. IoT integration within Simbio connects every piece of equipment, every sensor, and every data point, creating a network of intelligence that drives smart decision-making. It’s the neural network of the operation, sensing, communicating, and responding to the dynamic needs of the mining environment. Digitisation Services and Integration Solutions: The Backbone of Connectivity At the heart of Simbio’s success is its robust Digitisation Services and Integration Solutions. These elements ensure that all data is seamlessly integrated, all systems are connected, and all processes are digitized for maximum efficiency. It’s the foundation that supports the entire ecosystem, much like the interconnected roots of a forest that share nutrients and resources, ensuring the health and vitality of every tree. The Future of Mining: A Symbiotic Vision Simbio is more than just a product; it’s a vision for the future of mining. It represents the pinnacle of innovation, the epitome of efficiency, and the zenith of productivity. By harnessing the power of symbiosis, Digital Terrain has created a solution that not only meets the needs of today’s mining operations but also anticipates the challenges of tomorrow. Conclusion: Thriving Together In the grand tapestry of the mining industry, where every thread must be perfectly woven to create a masterpiece, Simbio stands as the ultimate tool for achieving symbiotic success. Just as flowers and bees, and clownfish and anemones, thrive through their interdependence, so too does the Digital Terrain portfolio, united under the banner of Simbio. Together, we are not just surviving; we are thriving, reaching new heights, and setting the gold standard for the industry. With Simbio, the future of mining is not just bright; it’s brilliant.
