A SATELLITE-ENABLED GEO-MONITORING SOLUTION THAT BOOSTS MINING SAFETY, EFFICIENCY AND COMPLIANCE

The Insights Platform helps clients manage their environmental and infrastructure risks with real-time monitoring and alerts for faster, more intelligent operational decision-making. At the heart of the solution is a secure, cloud-based data management platform built on a microservices architecture that enables agility, adaptability and scalability in its configuration.

The platform is fully integrated and built around three core elements:

  • Edge-based data ingestion, validation and aggregation from sensors, and other data sources
  • Satellite connectivity ensures reliable real-time data transfer from a remote site to the platform
  • The Insight Platform curates and validates the data to make it available in real-time via an easy-to-understand, customisable dashboard

The primary use of the Insight Platform is to monitor the safety and stability of mine tailings storage facilities. However, the solution can also support a range of other use cases in and outside of mining, including geohazard and critical infrastructure monitoring or risk management.

Key benefits

  1. Provides advance warning, and enables effective real-time risk control
  2. Cloud-based platform displays readily accessible critical data in real-time
  3. Customisable trigger thresholds and alerts for real-time risk control
  4. Provides information to key personnel for executing risk mitigation plan
  5. Seamless integration of third-party data provides a detailed view of assets and operations
  6. Centralised, fully integrated data analytics and calculations
  7. Enhanced data management for easy data integration across multiple platforms
  8. Flexible and transparent data sharing with third parties
  9. Helps secure or reduce the cost of mining operators’ insurance

Features

  • Monitors structural integrity of instrumentation in real-time
  • Processes raw sensor data into contextual metrics for visual clarity, all viewable from a single unified dashboard
  • Integrates with ERP process management software
  • Cloud-based SaaS built on Amazon Web Services for scalability and security
  • Includes edge and satellite connectivity options for network resilience
