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:
