3D LASER Mapping has launched its Global Operations Centre which can monitor mine safety in Australia.
The business specialises in integrating laser scanning hardware with its own software and peripherals to create cutting edge solutions such as what is said to be the world’s most accurate mobile mapping system.
The company says SiteMonitor combines the latest web and laser scanning technology to capture and continuously analyse highly accurate measurements, pit walls and mined material. It has been designed to measure and monitor the stability of rock faces, landslips and man-made structures and tracks and compares displacement measurements over time.
The data captured with the analysis software is continuously streamed to the Global Operations Centre where experienced support technicians scrutinise the information to ensure each system is operating correctly and the data presented to the onsite engineers can aid and support what is often critical decision making.
The data can provide early warning of abnormal movement and therefore potential failures in the active mining area which may impact on production, cause damage to equipment or even injury to personnel.
The SiteMonitor laser scanning system includes the latest long range laser scanners, which can capture up to 11,000 point measurements per second, to an accuracy of 10mm and at a range of up to 1,000m. The rugged and fully portable sensor system also includes a calibrated and accurately orientated high-resolution digital camera.
The company says it has designed its service around the latest Internet technology which allows it to remotely access the international network of SiteMonitor installations.
