Navigating the Future of Mining with Customised Data Reporting
Ian Jansen • Nov 04, 2023
In the dynamic and challenging world of mining, staying ahead means not only meeting but exceeding your strategic goals. A critical element in achieving this is having a clear, real-time view of how your mine is performing against your plan. Our latest software innovation caters precisely to this need, providing access to standard and exception reports, along with the flexibility of creating custom reports tailored to your site-specific or business-specific needs. The impact of this capability is profound, particularly in enhancing productivity in the mining industry.
Streamlining Operations with Insightful Reporting
Productivity in mining is all about doing more with less and doing it efficiently. Our software tools serve as a bridge between your strategic plans and operational realities. By accessing standard reports, you gain valuable insights into your mine’s performance, understanding where you're excelling and where there’s room for improvement. Exception reporting further sharpens this focus, highlighting areas that deviate from the plan and require immediate attention.
The Power of Customization
Every mining site is unique, with its specific challenges and opportunities. Recognizing this, our software offers the ability to create custom reports. This means you can drill down into the specifics that matter most to your operation, whether it’s a particular aspect of resource management, equipment utilization, or workforce efficiency. This level of customization ensures that the insights you gain are not just relevant but actionable, directly contributing to enhanced productivity.
Real-Time Data for Real-Time Decisions
In the fast-paced world of mining, decisions need to be made quickly and with confidence. Our software ensures that the data you rely on is not just accurate but also up-to-date. Real-time data translates into real-time decisions, allowing you to adjust operations on the fly to maintain or increase productivity.
Future Trends: Predictive Analytics and Beyond
Looking to the future, the role of data in mining is set to become even more pivotal. The next frontier is predictive analytics – using historical data not just to understand the present but to anticipate future trends and challenges. This evolution will further empower mining companies to optimize their operations, reduce risks, and seize opportunities more effectively.
In conclusion, by leveraging the power of customized data reporting, mining companies can gain unparalleled insights into their operations, driving productivity to new heights. As we continue to innovate, our commitment is to keep our clients at the forefront of these exciting developments, ensuring they are well-equipped to navigate the future of mining.

An accurate Digital model for the main decline of an underground mining operation is important and offers valuable benefits for mining companies and operators. From optimising resource extraction to enhancing safety protocols, the meticulous mapping of main declines serves as a cornerstone for efficient and sustainable mining practices. Let's explore some of the key advantages and benefits: 1. Enhanced Safety Protocols: Accurate mapping of the main decline enables mining companies to identify potential safety hazards such as unstable ground conditions, geological faults, or reinforcement movements. By proactively addressing these risks, mining operators can implement robust safety protocols, reducing the likelihood of accidents or incidents and ensuring the well-being of personnel working in the area. 2. Improved Resource Optimization: Mapping the main decline provides valuable insights into the geological characteristics and mineralization patterns of the surrounding ore body. This information allows mining engineers to optimise resource extraction strategies, including the design of mining methods, stope layouts, and ore handling systems. By maximising resource recovery while minimising waste, mining companies can enhance operational efficiency and profitability. 3. Enhanced Operational Planning: Accurate mapping of the main decline facilitates comprehensive operational planning, including scheduling of drilling, blasting, and extraction activities. By visualising the spatial layout of the decline and associated infrastructure, mining operators can optimise workflows, streamline logistics, and minimise downtime, leading to improved productivity and cost-effectiveness. 4. Facilitates Infrastructure Development: Detailed mapping of the main decline provides essential data for the design and construction of infrastructure such as ventilation systems, service lines into the operation, and support structures. By accurately assessing the spatial constraints and geological conditions of the decline, mining engineers can optimise the layout and configuration of infrastructure elements, ensuring efficient operation and maintenance throughout the mine's lifespan. 5. Supports Regulatory Compliance: Mining companies are subject to stringent regulatory requirements governing safety, environmental protection, and resource management. Accurate mapping of the main decline helps ensure compliance with these regulations by providing comprehensive documentation of underground workings, geological features, and safety measures undertaken. This enables mining operators to demonstrate due diligence and accountability to regulatory authorities and stakeholders. Mapping the main decline of a mining operation is a strategic imperative that yields a multitude of benefits that Digital Terrain know and understand. By leveraging the insights gained from a digital twin generated through our Lidar services that seamlessly rolls into Maptek, Deswik and other mining software, mining managers and operators can navigate the path to success with confidence and foresight. Digital Terrain Digital Terrain have solutions that replace or augment existing capabilities for capturing, processing, analysis and reporting. We also offer onsite instruction and training where customers seek to build their own expertise.

Underground mining is a harsh environment to operate in, where the next decision can be the difference between continued progress or productivity halting delays. Often it is the ‘gut-feel’ or ‘intuition’ that results in pulling Lever A as opposed to Lever B, but when it is estimated that the average adult makes 35,000 decisions a day (Sollisch 2016), it is clear that not all of these can possibly be the optimal solution all of the time. Traditionally, data collection has been a lagged, cumbersome process, fraught with inaccuracies (poor radio communications, misplaced/damaged/destroyed paperwork), double handling (horizontally integrated systems) and delays (data entry occurs progressively by site administration on the following shift for the one preceding it). However, with the advent of digitization, this narrative is rapidly changing. Real-time data collection and analysis empower stakeholders to access accurate and timely information, enabling them to make informed de cisions on the fly. Coupled with Digital Terrain’s RDI-WRS Wireless Repeater System ( https://www.digitalterrain.io/revolutionising-underground-mining-with-wi-fi-mesh-technology ), Simbio PLOD can present decision makers within your business the information they need to execute your plans and achieve your goals. Digital Terrain‘s Simbio Core Suite (SCS) puts frontline personnel at the heart of their solution. Operators are empowered to capture their own data, in real-time, through the use of the Simbio PLOD app (available on Android and iOS). Each operator logs the progress of their shift as they complete their assigned tasks (using Simbio’s PLAN module) including Task Workplace Inspections (Take 5’s, Stop and Thinks, Safe Stops etc), Prestarts, Hazard Forms, Productive Time, Downtime, Maintenance Faults, Trigger Action Response Plan (TARP) workflow escalations and more. The Digital Terrain team is committed to ensure that your operation can hit the ground running from Day 1.
