Customized solutions for the mining industry

The cost-effective operation of modern open-pit mines requires precise, real-time information—from machine positioning to energy consumption analysis. Only by reliably monitoring and analyzing processes can operators minimize downtime, manage resources effectively and ensure long-term productivity.

Our custom-tailored operational management and scheduling systems for open-pit mine and power plant operators support decision-making regarding flexibility, efficiency and cost optimization in production operations. For development, we utilize a wide variety of information sources—ranging from current and historical process values, tabular specifications and database information to satellite-based tracking of large equipment locations.

Process data systems and interfaces: Precise, scalable and easily integrated

Our technologies integrate seamlessly into existing system environments. We offer you: 

  • Customized engineering services
  • Consulting and training 
  • Flexible solution expertise 
  • Online geometry processing and visualization 

 

Process data acquisition via the PGIM component of the 800xA ABB control system, as well as via the Siemens WinCC interface (via OPC if necessary) and OSIsoft PI 

  • Desktop and web-based applications (2D / 3D) 
  • Diagnostic systems

Real-time 3D geometry processing

We place a special focus on online geometry processing and visualization. Our systems perform modeling in real time:

  • Modeling
    • of the excavation process
    • of the spreader dumping process
    • of the conveyor belt situation (connections, elevation profiles)
    • Target/actual comparison of the mining situation (model surface, planned cut bodies) 
  • Position determination of the bucket wheel with high spatial and temporal resolution
  • "Distance situation" relative to planning areas (working levels, slopes, ramps)
  • "Distance situation" to obstacles (wells, gauges, old mining sites) 
  • Generation of elevation profiles of the mining benches
  • Position determination of the tracks
  • Creation of the current actual area for surveying (block forecast)
  • Display of the geological model
