What tools do miners use?
January 14, 2025At EYEMINE, we know that effective mine planning is key to optimising operations, increasing productivity, and reducing costs. Our suite of innovative software and AI-powered tools is designed to support mining companies in achieving these goals. We offer four main products: EYE-ANALYSE, EYE-WEIGH, EYE-SCAN, and EYE-TALPA - all aimed at making mine planning more accurate and efficient. Here’s why using our tools is a game-changer for your mine planning process.
Mine planning with A.I. tools
1. EYE-ANALYSE: Real-time data reporting
EYE-ANALYSE is our unique reporting platform that takes the guesswork out of mine planning. This automation in mining industry helps mining companies collect and analyse real-time data from the field. Whether you're tracking truck payload performance, looking for underloading or overloading issues, or ensuring that material is being transported efficiently, EYE-ANALYSE provides clear insights into your operations.
The power of EYE-ANALYSE lies in its ability to deliver actionable insights instantly. By providing real-time weight and volume analysis, it helps prevent costly mistakes like underloading or overloading, which can lead to equipment damage, higher fuel costs, and inefficient operations. With EYE-ANALYSE, mine planning becomes more informed and data-driven, helping you optimise performance across your entire operation.
2. EYE-WEIGH: Accurate truck weight measurement
EYE-WEIGH is a reliable weighing solution that ensures your trucks are never overloaded or underloaded. This tool is a key player in mine planning, as truck weights play a huge role in overall efficiency. Overloaded trucks can cause wear and tear on both the truck and other equipment, while underloaded trucks mean you're not utilising your resources to their full potential.
By using EYE-WEIGH, you get precise weight measurements for every truckload, whether it’s for short-term studies or permanent weight validation. This accuracy in weight measurement directly contributes to more efficient mine planning. With the right data, you can optimise loading processes, reduce unnecessary fuel costs, and prevent damage to your fleet, ultimately boosting the productivity of your mine.
3. EYE-SCAN: Volumetric scanning for load analysis
EYE-SCAN is another tool we offer that focuses on volumetric scanning. It’s a great addition to your mine planning toolkit as it helps you measure the exact volume of material being transported. Knowing the volume of the load helps prevent discrepancies in material measurement, ensuring that trucks are fully utilised without exceeding capacity.
EYE-SCAN’s volumetric scanning also allows you to analyse material density and understand how different materials behave during loading and hauling. This is especially useful in mine planning because it helps you better understand your material's characteristics, allowing you to make more informed decisions about your hauling processes. With EYE-SCAN, you can achieve optimal payloads and reduce the chances of material carry-back or poor load distribution.
4. EYE-TALPA: Real-time fleet data for better decision-making
EYE-TALPA is our fleet management solution that offers real-time data analytics. By logging and analysing machinery data, EYE-TALPA gives you insights into how your assets are performing on a daily basis. It provides a snapshot of asset utilisation, maintenance schedules, and real-time performance metrics. For mine planning, this means you can make quick decisions based on actual data, rather than relying on assumptions or outdated reports.
With EYE-TALPA, you can track the health of your machinery, which helps avoid unplanned downtime. It’s a tool that helps you plan better by optimising fleet usage and ensuring that your surface mining operations run smoothly without unnecessary interruptions. In turn, this leads to better resource management and improved mine planning.
Why AI tools like ours make mine planning easier
Our AI tools and software for mine planning aren’t just about collecting data - they’re about turning that data into valuable insights that drive better decision-making. Here's why it's a smart move to incorporate our AI solutions into your mine planning process:
Data-driven decisions
AI tools like EYE-ANALYSE, EYE-WEIGH, EYE-SCAN, and EYE-TALPA provide mining companies with data they can trust. This helps ensure that every decision made during the mine planning process is based on accurate, real-time information. No more relying on guesswork or manual calculations—everything is automated and streamlined, saving you time and reducing the risk of errors.
Optimised operations
When you integrate our AI solutions into your mine planning, you're able to optimise multiple aspects of your operation. Whether it’s monitoring truck weights with EYE-WEIGH, analysing material loads with EYE-SCAN, or tracking fleet performance with EYE-TALPA, all of our tools help make operations more efficient. By making the most of your resources, you can improve overall productivity and reduce costs.
Preventative maintenance
One of the most important aspects of mine planning is ensuring your equipment runs smoothly. EYE-TALPA gives you the power to monitor the health of your machinery in real time, allowing you to spot potential issues before they cause serious problems. This helps reduce downtime and keep your mine planning on track, with minimal interruptions.
Real-time insights for immediate action
One of the biggest benefits of our AI tools is that they provide real-time data. For mine planning, this is invaluable. Whether it’s tracking payloads, weighing trucks, or monitoring fleet efficiency, our tools give you up-to-date information that can be acted on right away. This means you can make quick adjustments to your operations, preventing small problems from turning into big ones.
Improved safety and efficiency
Proper mine planning isn’t just about efficiency—it’s also about safety. Our tools help prevent issues like truck overloads or off-centre loading, both of which can pose safety risks. By ensuring that your trucks and equipment are operating within safe limits, you reduce the chance of accidents, injuries, and costly damage. This focus on safety also makes your mine planning more effective and sustainable in the long run.
How our mining software helps you save costs
By using EYE-ANALYSE, EYE-WEIGH, EYE-SCAN, and EYE-TALPA, you’re able to make data-driven decisions that directly impact your bottom line. The more accurate your mine planning is, the more you can optimise your resources, reduce waste, and cut unnecessary costs. Whether it’s saving on fuel, preventing unnecessary equipment repairs, or improving loading efficiency, our software helps your mine planning efforts pay off financially.
If you’re looking to improve your mine planning process, EYEMINE’s AI tools and software solutions are the way to go.
