Automatic Monitoring System For OPEN PITS' SLOPES And SURFACES

A laser-measurement-based monitoring system for long-range profiling of :

  • open pit mines (blasting, rock movements, worker security)
  • natural hazard areas (rock falls, landslides, debris flow, glaciers)
  • construction sites (infrastructure deformations, working areas, worker safety).

OPMMS automatically performs continuous remote scanning from designated permanent sites, comparing the obtained scans to a reference base scan and identifying displacements and changes. Within the inspected region, manual on-the-fly analysis and output (statistics, inspection maps, classification charts, displacement and displacement rate graphs across time intervals) are possible. Alerts and customizable notifications are sent via email and SMS. OPMMS is a complete time-tested solution from Gexcel Srl. that consists of a rugged terrestrial laser scanner that is entirely controlled by processing software built into a dedicated control unit.

OPMMS is a full solution that includes:
  • Long-range Scanner.
  • Rugged control unit.
  • Embedded software.
OPMMS compares the acquired scans to a reference one and detects displacements and changes. Full control of acquisitions frequency. OPMMS gives you the possibility to create a permanent setup with multiple regions of interest (ROIs) at different resolutions. OPMMS allows further data investigations, such as volumetric computations or planning and analysis of excavation processes.

Main Applications

Automatic Long-range
Automatic Alerts
Production Planning
Landslides Monitoring
Rock Falls Control
Volumetric Computations
Workers Safety
Blasting Analysis
Rock Movements

Benefits

Keep under control movements of surfaces

Customize monitoring frequency and set notification thresholds, identify trends and watch multiple areas. Automatic notifications via Email and SMS.

Manage risk & safeguard workers

Safely survey pit high walls, rock falls, landslides, and glaciers. Risky areas are reported to the supervisors who can plan further onsite analysis with geotechnical teams, engineers and topographic surveyors.

Check mines productivity

Compare accurate volumes and get the areas’ 3D models.

Reliability

Maintain 24/7 surveillance in harsh situations to ensure safe mining operations.

Strengths

  • Automatic slope monitoring.
  • Alert notifications via E-mail and SMS.
  • Full control of Teledyne M3 laser scanners.
  • Intuitive monitoring parameters setting.
  • No reference targets required.
  • Setting of multiple ROIs to analyze multiple areas.
  • Free reference scans setting by an interactive timeline of previous acquisitions.
  • Comprehensive dashboard with statistics of changes and trends.
  • Safe storage of monitoring 3D data.
  • Direct connection with tools for deferred analysis (volumetric computations, profiles, cross-sections).
