Intelligent ore control system
Regardless of the commodity that your business is in, each load of ore could be worth over $10,000. It is critical that each truck goes to the right place. Your grade control system provides the last opportunity to decide what happens to the material being loaded, and therefore must use sophisticated techniques to get the best result. Ore Controller is an intelligent ore control system that fits seamlessly into your mine’s existing operations and processes. Using a central database and customisable workflow, Ore Controller breaks up grade control tasks into clearly-defined activities, and guides each user through their day-to-day work. Implemented stand-alone or in combination with a blast movement monitoring system, Ore Controller can deliver tens of millions of dollars annually to your mine’s bottom line.
Pre-defined workflows within a comprehensive, user-friendly platform that guides users through their workflow.
Allow multiple users to collaborate on day-to-day grade control tasks, eliminating potential doubling up of tasks.
Defined and standardised work flows guarantee that grade control procedures are carried out in the same way regardless of the user.
Leverage Data in Real Time to Manage Operations and make better decisions.
Exceeding productivity targets without increasing costs is hard work. New technology innovations make it easier for miners to boost productivity by identifying root causes of key issues and eliminating them with relative ease. Addressing issues from the top of the value chain — from drilling and blasting through loading and hauling — can add up to more compliant payloads and lower cost-per-ton.
Minetrack works by installing a device in each piece of equipment that collects and sends critical information, such as: location, status, operator, and loading in real time. This information is transmitted to the control center via a proprietary communication network that covers the entire mine area. The entire mine fleet and production can be monitored in real time from the control center, using clear and tailored dashboards targeted for different operations tasks. Built by experience mining engineers for real mining operations. It’s all about how to optimize your mine performance, reduce costs, improve safety, and comply with environmental standards with the least cost and high value outcome.
Manage your assets and mine operations with efficiency and accuracy.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Minetrack is designed to optimize operations from the shortest haul cycle to the longest value chain. With our technology, see all your mine’s data from a bird’s-eye view in the control center or dive deep into the details to make the critical changes that maximize the effectiveness of your fleet, in real-time. Master your fleet through situational awareness, optimizing haulage and blending, and live communications. Get the right information at the right time to better use equipment, improve workflows, reduce costs, improve safety, and raise productivity.
Maximize the equipment utilization in real-time, increasing efficiency and productivity of assets.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
With a real-time data stream and historical collections of individual Asset attributes, it’s easy to create visibility of status and performance of each asset to support more effective fuel management, maintenance, and performance. Highlight variances across the fleet and enable better decisions that will reduce costs, improve safety, and support compliance activities.
Track and monitor hours, operators, and drilling plans for drilling and probing equipment with real-time feedback and historical reports on equipment performance.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Data from the control center is presented in a user-friendly interface detailing the status of each asset, the progress of each drilling plan, and the performance of each operator. Reliable data combined with checklists aligned to operations create real-time relevant information for shift operators allowing them to update scenarios as it happens. The ability to match plans to completed loads and update the status of each hole, location, or load of rigs.
Add Telemetric data to Fleet Logistics to control productive and effective hours with a new level of visibility.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Through the integration with a proprietary telemetric data collector, Minetrack makes it possible to automate the allocation of work orders, as well as the real-time monitoring of services, providing management by vacancy, cost center, equipment, operator and other levels of control.

Multi-Faceted UG Drill & Blast Solution
The ultimate solution for providing interactive and automated underground drill and blast design. AEGIS has a multi-faceted system, allowing users to rapidly compare different scenarios and generate ring layouts, charging plans, and blast designs to paper or directly to compatible drill rigs using IREDES. Our break model can determine an optimal blast pattern suitable for the rock and explosive properties that can generate fragmentation suitable for the haulage equipment reducing costs. These solutions can automatically lay out your entire stope in seconds while being incredibly flexible, allowing easy design adjustments – a few rings, individual holes or charges. Additionally, the AEGIS Drop Raise Editor allows slot raises to be designed, sequenced, and inserted into the drilling plan.
AEGIS Designer automatically generates all drill holes for a stope rapidly and accurately, with minimal user input. A layout is automatically generated in seconds by simply defining existing voids, geological contacts, optional stope design, and setting the burden and toe spacing. Unlike traditional underground blasting software, which requires users to start from scratch when adjusting burden or spacing, AEGIS Designer instantly generates the layout using new values, saving time and providing added flexibility in design. This solution allows for the simultaneous design of rings in four views – plan, section, longitudinal and 3D – ensuring no important details are missed.
- Fast & Repeatable
Automated processes guided by user input parameters deliver consistent designs to site standards. - Compare Scenarios
Quickly generate different ring layouts and charging patterns. - Completely Integrated Solution
Seamlessly connected data sources with Studio UG mine planning software and a common engine for geological evaluation.
The AEGIS Analyser is a powerful tool providing advanced blast simulation and modelling capabilities for underground engineers – essential for optimizing blasting operations.
It features a wide range of capabilities, including break limit predictions and blast dilution analysis. Engineers can use the break model to determine the optimal pattern dimensions suitable for ground conditions and explosives. The break model will show the break overlap and the shockwave interaction with the free face. An optimal pattern can generate suitable fragmentation for the haulage equipment and reduce overbreak and associated costs. The analyzer provides the Advanced Cost model allowing a thorough and detailed cost analysis of stope, making it possible to compare different pattern variations or different explosives on a level playing field. Combining the cost model with the break allows for explosives comparisons in your mine and understanding true costs.
The CMS field fit can predict the shape of the adjacent break volumes based on the laser scans of previous blasts. This tool can generate the potential void shapes of subsequent blasting and can be used to calibrate the rock properties linking the observed results with the model.
