New Hexagon portfolio facilitates mining processes Hexagon, a global leader in digital solutions, has reorganized its portfolio of products aimed at the mining division, with the changes, MineSight, from Mintec Inc, became MinePlan®. The company's new era is designed to simplify the way its customers evaluate solutions across the entire mine lifecycle, so its new portfolio consolidates multiple products into optimized solution packages and introduces a new concentration of nomenclature. The goal was to enhance the experience to include the introduction of subscription licensing, improved user interfaces, and strengthened support and services. Mining division president Josh Weiss says customers don't need to worry about how the company's extensive portfolio can benefit their mining operation. “By optimizing our…
We at PROMINAS are excited about the new HxGN MinePlan® updates. The release brings performance improvements, as well as new features and functionality that will make deliveries even more agile and assertive. In the video below, Jose Sanchez from Hexagon Mining highlights the main new features of the MinePlan 3D, MinePlan Schedule Optimizer, Geologic and MinePlan Drillhole Manager packages. . Check out ALL the updates in the video below. . . To learn more about MinePlan, contact us! Email: prominas@prominas.net
Today we bring you a very special content! MineSight | MinePlan is the most modern geology and mine planning software on the market, it offers fast, intelligent and integrated solutions in mining projects. Widely recognized by the market, the software was chosen to be used in Jonas Carvalho Gondim's master's thesis at the University of Brasília. Titled “Use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) for Technical Support in Mine Planning activities and open pit mining projects”, the research focused on evaluating the technical, practical capacity and benefits of using drones in topographic survey in an open pit mining. MineSight | MinePlan was used to study the open pits and the mining plan to define the target area and…
One of the most time-consuming tasks for geologists is the construction of a figure of a reasonable deposit in the third dimension. MineSight Implicit Modeler – MSIM is a mathematical tool that allows geologists to use drillhole data, polygon data, point data and fault plane data, and quickly interpret new geological scenarios. “The traditional method of linking polygons and polylines from section to section is still probably the most accurate method, but MSIM will let you develop alternatives to your problem, and bring fast solutions and fast alternatives to visualize geological structures,” said the president. from Mintec, John Davies. Building detailed geological surfaces and solids is essential in a productive mine. And it's also time consuming. MineSight Implicit Modeler changes that. It is the only product of its kind that is part…
The new Point Cloud Mesher (PCM) is a simple but very powerful application tool that was created with the aim of facilitating and improving work with large surfaces. It gives MineSight users the ability to triangulate from a 3D perspective coming from big point cloud data. Three-dimensional representations of underground cavities, tunnels, complex topographies and with a high level of detail can be easily and quickly generated while preserving their original features. In addition, PCM can refine the triangular mesh, performing surface interpolation to smooth data roughness or to variably discretize surface triangles, thus reducing complexity and file size, optimizing calculations and future work. Several mines in Brazil and around the world still face problems in the treatment and manipulation of surfaces with high levels of detail….
MineSight Schedule Optimizer (MSSO) is consolidated in the market as the best and most complete tool for the short, medium and long term sequencing of open pit and underground mines. However, once again the MSSO stands out as an avant-garde tool, not only for its ease and excellent results in conventional sequencing, but also for opening up a horizon of new possibilities. In view of its great potential and the great results demonstrated, we would like to present the programming with MultiPeriod, which allows the grouping of periods so that the calculations are made in global periods, and not unitary ones as traditionally performed, thus resulting in an optimal global solution. with the best result for the proposed objective. With the use of the MultiPeriod option, we can mention two great advantages: First, this type of programming allows a global view and not just a specific one…
In today's News Prominas, we will introduce the innovative new mine production management tool, MiPlan. Hexagon Mining | MineSight acquired in January/2017 the technology company MiPlan. Based in Perth, Australia, MiPlan develops mobile software applications for field data collection, drilling and blast optimization, fleet and production management and reporting. The company has a proven track record of increasing mine productivity and providing a rapid return on investment. MiPlan has 3 integrated applications, they are: MiD&B, with solutions for drilling and blasting; MiFleet, focused on fleet logistics; MiiNT, for data management and reporting. Figure 1: MiPlan Applications Most systems generate a huge amount of useful data, but without an easy method to quickly integrate and aggregate it, which results…
