VoidMapper is transforming underground mining with advanced 3D mapping technology, providing high-accuracy, real-time deformation tracking to enhance safety and operational efficiency. By automating data processing and leveraging AI-powered change detection, VoidMapper enables mining operators to proactively manage ground support, reduce downtime, and improve decision-making.
VoidMapper: Transforming Underground Mining with Advanced 3D Mapping
Revolutionising Safety and Efficiency in the Mining Sector
The mining industry faces significant challenges in underground stability, operational efficiency, and worker safety, particularly when it comes to monitoring ground support and detecting deformation. Traditional methods rely on manual inspections, point-based measurements, and infrequent surveys, which often result in delayed risk detection, costly downtime, and suboptimal decision-making.
VoidMapper by Caroni, is changing the game by offering a high-accuracy, pointcloud-based 3D mapping solution designed to enhance ground support monitoring. This cutting-edge technology provides fast deformation tracking, enables proactive maintenance planning, and optimises ground support strategies. By improving visibility into underground environments, VoidMapper helps mining operators enhance safety, increase efficiency, and lower costs associated with unexpected failures and production disruptions.
A New Industry Standard for Spatial Data Processing
VoidMapper aims to revolutionise underground mining by providing an automated, accurate, and fast data processing solution that significantly improves safety, productivity, and cost-efficiency. Designed to seamlessly integrate with existing mining workflows, VoidMapper is already deployed in multiple mine sites globally, offering unparalleled benefits such as:
Automated Processing: Unlike traditional survey methods, VoidMapper processes data automatically, reducing the need for manual input and accelerating decision-making.
AI-Powered Change Detection: Advanced artificial intelligence capabilities enable early detection of underground deformations, allowing for proactive interventions.
Intuitive Data Visualisation: The system provides an easy-to-interpret 3D representation of underground conditions, improving situational awareness for geotechnical and mining teams.
By leveraging these capabilities, VoidMapper is setting a new benchmark for spatial data processing in underground mining operations.
