CONEXPO PREVIEW
Long range capability is one of the defining strengths of RIEGL’ s terrestrial scanners, with the company set to display this in Las Vegas kinematic options – vehicle-mounted or backpack, for example – allowing survey teams to cover haul roads, stockpiles, underground drifts and pit floors with speed and consistency.“ This versatility means a single technology platform can support a wide range of tasks across the mine,” the company says.
A major advantage for day-to-day operations is the streamlined workflow offered. RIEGL’ s processing environment emphasises automation and intuitive tools, enabling new users to become productive after just one or two days of training, it claims, with automated registration, intelligent filtering and efficient reporting reducing the time between field capture and actionable results.
Scanning the sector
RIEGL’ s LiDAR technology has become a trusted asset across mining operations, bringing together long-range performance, flexible deployment options and an efficient workflow that keeps teams moving quickly and safely, the company says.
Long range capability is one of the defining strengths of RIEGL’ s terrestrial scanners, with the company set to display this in Las Vegas.
In large open-pit environments, being able to capture high density data from several kilometers away is essential for both safety and productivity. The VZ 2000i, with a range of 2.5 km, has become a widely adopted solution for routine pit surveys, geotechnical mapping and volumetric analysis. Building on that foundation, the VZ 4000i25 extends the reach to 4.6 km, giving mine operators even more flexibility in how and where they position their scanning stations. Many sites also rely on the compact VZ 400i for daily tasks thanks to its balance of portability, speed and accuracy. It is the VZ-600i terrestrial scanner, which offers a broad range capability from 0.5 m up to 1,000 m and is suitable for indoor and outdoor 3D mapping applications, that will be on the company’ s booth at CONEXPO.
RIEGL says mining workflows increasingly depend on continuous awareness of slope conditions, with its monitoring features supporting that need with automated, repeatable data capture.“ Whether scheduled or real time, these monitoring capabilities help teams track deformation, detect changes early and maintain confidence in the stability of critical areas,” it added.
The company’ s systems are not limited to static scanning, with
