Manage and Develop Mining Infrastructure Efficiently with CHC Navigation

CHCNAV IS A GLOBAL PROVIDER OF GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES TO OPTIMIZE MINING OPERATIONS

Nowadays, mining companies are often under extreme pressure to reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve safety performance while maintaining high production quality. There are no easy solutions, but it is clear that technology is making a significant contribution to the mining operation. Digitizing mining and quarrying sites with CHCNAV's mapping systems helps optimize production processes. The use of appropriate and reasonably priced surveying technology, combined with adequate professional training of personnel, makes the operation of mining companies more efficient, strengthening the overall production process and thus increasing revenues.

Although the mining industry differs from country to country, the implementation of new technologies in the mining sector frequently results in a series of difficulties. Below, we explore 3 common challenges the mining industry currently faces in the widespread adoption of advanced technologies in 3D mapping and GNSS surveying.

1. High-tech solutions, such as laser scanners, unmanned aerial systems (UASs), advanced positioning systems, rugged field data controllers and tablets, surveying and mapping, and data processing software, are often associated with high costs and may therefore be considered out of reach from a financial point of view. In addition, mining companies may have difficulties recruiting highly qualified employees as they prefer to use up-to-date equipment such as GNSS receivers, photogrammetric drones, and Lidar

2. Harsh operating environments and remote, hard-to-reach locations of sites have an effect on machinery and equipment that must withstand the tough conditions of the reality in which they operate. Mining companies need durable, rugged equipment with strong dust and water protection that can survive a wide range of operating temperatures.

3. Existing outdated survey tools may be technologically difficult to replace in a short period of time without influencing operation processes. Moreover, veteran employees may be reluctant to learn to use new equipment and different software, such as in the case of switching from theodolites to GNSS technology.
