SLOPE STABILITY MONITORING monitoring equipment has improved in the wake of recent tailings dam catastrophes .
In reality , monitoring tailings and slopes is a living process . Using a flexible and scalable solution to integrate current and future sensors and systems will make it easier for the mine to accommodate changing monitoring needs . Remote networks can now be deployed in a matter of weeks — and can provide potentially life-saving data for decades .
RIEGL adds laser scanner apps for mining
RIEGL this year added increased user optionality for its VZ-i Series of 3D terrestrial laser scanners with the development of three new mining apps for everyday use , especially in critical situations . Based on reliable real-time data , these apps allow users to make necessary decisions quickly with sound knowledge of the situation at hand . RIEGL ’ s 3D terrestrial laser scanners can be integrated into any network infrastructure by using LAN , Wi-Fi , and LTE interfaces , enabling fully remote operation of the scanners . With the installation of these new customised apps for automatic data acquisition and data processing , the user gets automatic real-time results without any manual interaction .
The Slope Angle App , Design Compare App and Monitoring App are designed for work at remote mining operations . Thomas Gaisecker ,
RIEGL Manager Mining Business Division , said : “ To optimise their work , the operators of mining machines need to get measurement results in real time . Apps make this possible . The new RIEGL mining apps ensure that they get the data acquired by the scanner immediately , as well as relevant , reliable and accurate deliverables to make prompt and appropriate decisions .”
With the RIEGL Slope Angle App , slope angles are calculated automatically from scan data . Critical slope angles can be highlighted and sent to the user , eg the loader operators . The realtime information helps them keep the slope angles of stockpiles and dump areas within defined limits . Users receive the information on a web browser on every device , which is
The RIEGL Design Compare App allows overcut and undercut measurements to be displayed for the given design model
connected to the mine network . No software installation or processing of the data is necessary . Everything is processed automatically within the app on the scanner , RIEGL says .
The RIEGL Design Compare App allows overcut and undercut measurements to be displayed for the given design model . While undercut is , for miners , a waste of money , overcut can involve major safety risks . With the use of this app , the operation of heavy equipment such as excavators can be optimised
to streamline the mining process .
