mining activity monitoring
Plan resources with increased efficiency, improve safety and reduce instability risks with daily updated information on mining activities, derived from radar satellite data.
Mining sites are often located in some of the most remote locations in the world, causing difficulty in successful management of labor, equipment use and project progress overall. Radar satellite data is the key to getting the most recent and accurate information for efficient operations planning and resource management in mines. Radar imaging satellites can take an image of any location on Earth, at any time, regardless of cloud cover and sunlight.
Remote monitoring and operations management requires timely, consistent, reliable information about every activity that happens within and around the mining sites.
Lumikko maps enables persistent monitoring for the mining sector to support the planning and management of mineral resources. Lumikko radar satellite imaging allows all day, all weather monitoring over the expected mining fields.
Information from Lumikko’s high-resolution SAR satellite imagery [updated several times per day or even every hour] allow operations to be planned efficiently, enabling precise monitoring of variations in the terrain, and consequently the volume of mineral extracted.
Lumikko Maps enables:
· Daily monitoring of mining activities, including excavation operations and location of machinery
· Data on vegetation gains or losses monitoring during and after mining activities
· Gaining accurate information on changes of the surface water within a mining area (e.g. tailing dams, water run-off, and water bodies)
· Fast detection of surface change in relation to general mining activities, road works, and impact of vehicle movements
· Frequent monitoring of surface movements and displacement measurement
· Encroachment on mining area and illegal or dangerous settlements detection
· Getting early warning on anomalies, such as acceleration of ground movements
