RIEGL has developed three new mining apps that can be used in everyday mining and also in especially critical situations. These applications allow users to make decisions based on real-time reliable data made available through the apps. The company’s terrestrial laser scanner, which has increased user optionality, can be integrated into any infrastructural network by using LTE, Wi-Fi and LAN interfaces. This allows users to fully operate the scanners remotely.
These customized applications, which acquire and process data automatically, also allow users to receive real-time results automatically without having to interact with equipment manually.
RIEGL’s mining business division manager Thomas Gaisecker explained that machine operators on mining sites need to get measurement results instantly in order to optimize their work. These applications, he said, make it possible to do so. He further states that the new mining apps make sure that operators acquire data obtained by the scanner instantaneously, in addition to obtaining accurate, reliable and relevant results, which enable users to make quick and appropriate decisions.
The three applications designed to be used in remote mining operations are the Monitoring App, the Design Compare App and the Slope Angle App.
- RIEGL Monitoring App
Based on a given reference scan, this application can be used to detect any movements that are not visible to the naked human eye. The application’s features allow it to interpret movements using a time series of scans, thus allowing it to predict potential slope failure. The app’s predictive power makes sure that the operation has enough time to remove both workers and machinery from risky areas, which may help save lives.
- RIEGL Design Compare App
This application allows undercut and overcut measurements to be shown for any design model. For miners, overcut presents many safety risks while undercut is a waste of money. Using this application improves the operation of heavy equipment, which makes the overall mining process efficient.
- RIEGL Slope Angle App
This application calculates slope angles automatically using data from a scan. The app then highlights crucial slope angles and sends them to the user. This information helps the user keep the dump areas and stockpile slope angles in the defined limits.
In addition to this, users are also sent the information on every device’s web browser, which is connected to the mine’s network.
The app is easy to use, as no data processing or software installation is necessary. This is because the app on the scanner processes everything automatically.
Aside from the latest scanners introduced by RIEGL, several companies are thriving while using techniques and technology at their disposal. For instance, Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) has made progress on its singular aim of reversing the current situation in which the United States imports almost all the uranium it uses.
