Service · Mining Digital Twin
A pit is a living thing. Survey it like one.
A weekly-refreshed digital twin of your open-cast pit, stockyard and haul network. Progress maps, slope-stability indicators, stockpile reconciliation, safety audits — one platform, one crew, one cadence.
The problem
Most mines are run on a survey that's three months old.
The monthly survey is two weeks late. The stockpile reconciliation is done by eye. Slope stability is an engineering judgement made on a plot that was drawn before the last blast. The safety audit is a spreadsheet.
Meanwhile, the mine plan changes daily — because the mine is a living thing. The survey that manages it should live at the same cadence.
The solution
Fly once a week. See everything that moved.
- Progress map. Weekly overflight produces a new orthomosaic and DEM. Volumetric delta versus last week, versus the plan, versus the LOM.
- Slope stability. Sub-centimetre point clouds on high walls and dumps. Wedge/block detection, displacement monitoring, and deformation trends over months.
- Stockpile reconciliation. Every stockpile measured and reconciled against the plant intake and the books. Variance explained, not buried.
- Haulage and fleet. Haul road condition, ramp grades, and bench widths audited against design. Fleet telemetry ingested alongside.
- Safety audits. Geotagged evidence of bench widths, ramp grades, safety bunds, water accumulation, and ground conditions — on a single portal.
What you receive
Deliverables
One vendor, one platform, one price — replacing the survey contractor, the safety consultant, and the stockpile auditor.
Platform access
Every mission loads into the Flybi platform. Browse the pit in 3D, measure anything, share a pin with the engineering team.
Weekly report
PDF with the week's deltas, anomalies, and actions. The report your GM reads on Monday at 8am.
Stockpile ledger
All stockpile volumes as a time series. Reconciliation pass-through to your weighbridge and ERP.
Slope-stability dashboard
Deformation trends per sector, with alerting for movements above threshold.
How it runs
A clean four-stage engagement
- MobiliseCrew deployed to site with redundant airframes. Flight corridors agreed with your mine manager. DGCA compliance handled.
- OperateWeekly flight cycles. Data returned inside 48 hours. Platform kept current, always.
- ReportWeekly GM brief + monthly leadership pack. Audit-ready at any time.
- EvolveQuarterly review: expand scope into blast fragmentation, haul-road optimisation, or plant-feed quality as warranted.
