Grade control and geotechnical control are mostly a pattern-recognition problem applied to data an operation already collects: advanced sensing (XRF, XRD, LIBS, hyperspectral) calibrated against known grade, automated ore sampling, and bench slope stability monitoring.
The other half of this category is automated reporting: geomet reports, geotechnical reports and monitoring reports that used to take a specialist days to compile now largely assembled from sensor and model output. In practice the same anomaly-detection and classification models feed both the sensing side and the reporting side, which is why they sit in one category rather than two.
