Satellite data analytics solution for risk detection via geospatial analysis

Lack of advance warning for large scale issues like land and tailings movement, pipeline leaks, and chemical seeps in a mining operation can mean huge financial and safety impact, from loss of productivity, hefty remediation costs, and reputational damage.

To avoid these issues, it’s crucial to identify and respond to events before they have a chance to escalate. But this can be difficult with traditional methods like manual inspections of assets, which are expensive, time consuming, and infrequent. Catching an event in its early stage requires real-time, continuous monitoring of asset data, and a way to transform this information into actionable insights.

This satellite data analytics solution collects data from assets using a variety of satellite sources, aircraft, drones, and fixed or persistent sensor platforms. Through AI algorithms, the spectral signatures contained in this data are isolated and used to identify objects and phenomena.

Detection algorithms are then used to create interactive displays and visualisations that show exactly what’s taking place. Through this powerful technology, operators are alerted to developing risks, and are provided with their exact locations and severity measures so that they can respond quickly and appropriately. This SaaS platform has no installation requirements and accurately monitors change and alerts based on business rules you set up.

This flexible platform can work across numerous use cases for mining including land management around mines, tracking acid mine damage, tailings monitoring, methane tracking for coal mines, pipeline spill tracking and metal concentration in the local environment.
