Maptek Forge is a quarterly newsletter that includes the latest success stories that highlight how Maptek decision support technologies are helping customers to change forever the way mining is done.
In this issue - Forge December 2024 - we outline the deployment of Maptek laser scanners alongside UAVs at a lithium operation in Western Australia.
We see how the Maptek Technical Services team helped solve critical operational challenges in developing an iron ore project in the Republic of Guinea.
In Mongolia, VisionV2X proximity detection has been in steady use underground at Oyu Tolgoi for more than 2 million vehicle operating hours.
We are excited to share how our new platform, Maptek Vestrex can elevate industry decision making through data services, cloud computing, automation and orchestration. Imagine Vestrex as the glue that binds multiple applications, empowering collaboration across stakeholders.
It follows that integrating data collected by a proximity detection system with fleet management and haulage routes can create a seamless workflow where real-time data, risk analysis and operational adjustments come together in a unified platform.
We also recognise achievements across our customer and university partner base. Read about Hall of Fame at MINExpo International, the annual Geology Challenge, Woman in Technology Innovation awards and the Mine Design prize.
