Ore sorting and dispatch are where sensor fusion earns its keep: belt-mounted grade sensors like BeltSense, SWIR and XRT-based ore-sorting systems, and the dispatch and control-room software that routes trucks and stockpiles based on real-time grade data rather than a fixed plan. This category …
Tailings and thickening carries the highest safety stakes in this list: AI-driven dam monitoring that fuses ground radar, piezometers and satellite InSAR to catch failure precursors before they become failures, and the operational side of managing that monitoring data across a facility’s life. …
Topography covers the drone and LiDAR survey work that produces the 3D terrain models everything else - blast design, haul-road planning, geological modelling - gets built on top of. The other half of this small but foundational category is the geological model that terrain and subsurface data are …
