Available in 7-inch and 10-inch screen sizes, these tablets prove invaluable to the mining industry for various reasons.
Collection and Evaluation of Data
Utilizing a Mesa Rugged Tablet streamlines the process of data collection and management. It allows for the input of geological information, metrics, safety inspections, and environmental data all in a single location. Key stakeholders, such as Geotechnical Engineers, can analyze the data on-site for tasks like slope stability analysis, ground control monitoring, geological surveys, and assessing rock mass characteristics, eliminating the necessity for an office setting.
Communication and Security
All project participants, ranging from supervisors to control rooms, have the capability to communicate in real-time using tablets through a wireless internet connection. This enables the seamless exchange of messages, images, or videos to enhance effective communication throughout the project. Additionally, tablets serve as valuable tools for collecting and storing data while monitoring safety aspects, including gas levels, ventilation systems, and environmental conditions.
Assistance with Mapping and Maintenance of Equipment
Utilize rugged tablets for precise mapping of mine sites, capturing GPS coordinates, and navigating intricate mining environments to facilitate accessible mapping. Ensure equipment upkeep by linking the tablet to sensors and diagnostic systems, enabling the monitoring of performance metrics, maintenance schedules, and machinery health.
GNSS Receiver by Geode
Juniper’s Geode™ Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receiver delivers real-time data, offering accuracy within sub-meter, sub-foot, and decimeter ranges, all achievable with a single button press. The following outlines various ways in which the GNSS receiver contributes to the mining industry:
Mapping and Fleet Oversight
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receivers play a crucial role in delivering precise and straightforward mapping of mining sites. They aid in pinpointing the locations of specific points, boundaries, and ground features accurately. Additionally, GNSS receivers can be integrated into fleet vehicles using our powered dock, enabling the tracking of vehicle locations, monitoring of activities, route optimization, and identification of potential hazards to prevent accidents.
Control of Grading and Management of Stockpiles
Utilizing a GNSS receiver, mining operators can precisely ascertain the grade and depth of ore bodies, enhancing the efficiency of drilling and blasting processes. Additionally, these receivers can measure the quantity of mineral stockpiles, assisting mining companies in inventory management, reserve estimation, and extraction planning.
Monitoring of Environmental and Geotechnical Aspects
GNSS receivers play a crucial role in environmental monitoring, tracking alterations in land surfaces, water bodies, and vegetation. Additionally, they contribute to safety measures by overseeing slope stability and identifying potential issues related to instability.
Mapping Software by Unita
Juniper’s Uinta™ mapping software offers user-friendly features for data collection and mapping, providing a high degree of customization tailored to any project. The following are ways in which mapping software can enhance the mining process.
Exploration and Evaluation of Resources
Geologists and mining professionals can utilize mapping software to generate comprehensive geological maps, facilitating the monitoring of changes and analysis of assessments in a unified platform.
Planning and Monitoring of Mining Operations
Utilizing Uinta mapping facilitates the optimization of pit and mine designs, aiding in the identification of optimal locations for infrastructure, haul roads, waste dumps, and more. The mapped data is valuable for monitoring mining operations, tracking equipment, managing personnel, and ensuring strict adherence to safety protocols.
Environmental planning
Utilizing mapping software aids mining companies in adhering to environmental and safety regulations by delivering precise, detailed, and current reporting. It also facilitates monitoring progress and ensuring compliance with environmental restoration requirements for land rehabilitation post the completion of a mining project.
Embracing digital solutions from the inception of a mining project through its entire lifecycle, including land rehabilitation, opens up limitless possibilities. Seamless communication, efficient project management, robust safety measures, and thorough environmental monitoring become readily available. Juniper Systems offers accessible and valuable tools for mining that prove to be as invaluable as gold itself.
