However, the sector is faced with an increasing need to address issues including environmental concerns, maximizing output, controlling costs, improving safety, and checking pilferage, amongst others.
Technology continues to play an important role in addressing mining sector challenges. Satellite-based data, in particular, lends itself to a number of applications that help address such issues. Mine monitoring, for example, is highly effective in controlling illegal mining and increasing the revenues of concerned state departments. An automated mine monitoring surveillance system can provide change detection and volumetric change calculations for mines.
Our partners provide crucial tools to optimize the mining operations.
With mining resources being located in some of the world’s most inaccessible or inhospitable regions, the cost of planning, exploration and production, and monitoring of assets can be costly and extremely difficult. The geospatial products and digital solutions from Airbus provide crucial tools to cost-effectively identify areas for oil exploration and reliable remote monitoring of sites.
Airbus provides geospatial solutions for all stages of the mining lifecycle.
Airbus provides solutions for new exploration hotspots and evaluates leads. The company’s value-added services such as geological studies and seismic planning can be augmented with its extensive satellite constellation capabilities to provide reliable, cost and risk-minimizing solutions to discover and examine potential resource leads.
Airbus solutions allow users to proactively keep track of activities on sites and react quickly in emergency situations, minimizing downtime and reputational risk. It can also remotely monitor mining activities providing information on site change and measure volumes of minerals extracted without the risks associated with having staff onsite.
Stack Insight helps remotely monitor mines, calculate volumes and change detection without sending people into the field. It facilitates volume calculations and change detection remotely, allowing operators to effectively monitor their mines at the touch of a button. It is specially developed to:
Stack Insight revolutionizes volume calculations and change detection with its risk-free remote acquisition – providing you with highly accurate volume calculation of stacks and piles, when and where you need it.
To deliver this precision service, Stack Insight utilizes very high-resolution 50cm imagery products from the Pleiades’ satellites, which have the capability to be flexibly tasked, offering up to daily revisits of any area around the world.
The highly accurate dataset is then delivered directly to your desktop, providing fresh information needed to support specific operational and organizational decisions.
Aggregate volumes, such as piles of excavated material or waste material, can be evaluated without the need of sending experienced surveying experts and equipment to locations that are often remote and inhospitable.
Stack Insight provides a remote cost-effective, time-efficient, and safer solution for the monitoring of operational mines across the globe. The automated service provides you with the information you need to inform and enable your specific decision-making process.
Airbus provides cost-effective tools to remotely monitor decommissioning of sites, once production ceases. It helps mine owners /managers/operators to reduce the potential for environmental damage whilst maximizing security.
MDA’s RADARSAT-2 satellite data applications help bolster efficiency in the mining processes. It helps detect surface changes around mines, mine infrastructure stability, and life of mine monitoring.
Micronet solution is there to support your business. We are ready to deliver.
