DataCloud Launches Real-Time Geoscience Technology Platform that Enables Substantial Improvements in Mining Productivity and Profitability
MinePortal™ is a cloud-based “Earth Model” platform providing real-time
management and analysis of drill data, geologic models, rock properties,
and ore/waste boundaries
DataCloud, the leading real-time geoscience technology company serving
the global mining industry, today launched MinePortal™, a cloud-based
“Earth Model” platform for real-time management and analysis of rock
data that enables mining companies to dramatically improve productivity
while increasing profitability.
With the new MinePortal™ platform, mine operators can now process
massive volumes of drilling and geosciences data to create actionable
insights that produce dramatic improvements in ore body delineation and
fragmentation. And by analyzing all of this critical rock data in
real-time, mine operators can make better, faster drilling and blasting
decisions that materially improve productivity, and ultimately
strengthen profitability.
“Technology really does change everything, especially in the global
mining industry, which historically has been comparatively slow in
adopting innovative new tech solutions,” said Thor Kallestad, CEO and
Co-Founder of DataCloud. “By harnessing major technological
breakthroughs such as advanced IoT sensors, artificial intelligence and
cloud computing to automate workflows, DataCloud’s industry-leading
MinePortal™ platform is ushering in an exciting new era of productivity
and margin growth for mine operators worldwide.”
Kallestad continued: “This is a game-changer for mine operators. The
real-time geosciences technology in MinePortal™ is fundamentally
transforming how mining companies can master the subsurface and generate
significantly better operational results. These enhanced operational and
business results include improved drill and blast outcomes, increased
mill throughput, and reduced processing costs per ton.”
In addition to its best-in-class rock visualization and real-time data
processing and analytics capabilities, the SaaS-based MinePortal™
platform provides the following:
-
Normalized Mechanical Specific Energy (MSE) calculations in
real-time that can be seamlessly exported to blast planning
software.
-
Next-bench-down predictions powered by machine learning,
providing hardness and grade maps before blast hole drilling.
-
MSE-to-Mill tracking that optimizes powder factors by
correlating MSE in a muck pile location to the amount of energy
required to crush that same volume of rock in the mill.
The MinePortal™ platform can integrate all DataCloud technology
solutions, including the new RHINO™ seismic while drilling (SWD)
sensors, and DigitalGeology™, the company’s turnkey rock image
processing and interpretation suite.
