Connected Spatial Intelligence: 4D Mine Visualisation Software
See your operational data where it happened. Drill holes, dig blocks, equipment and production on the mine surface, at any point in time.
Your data knows where. Your reports never show it.
Every load, hole and block has coordinates, but most mine reporting is a table. Connected Spatial Intelligence adds the place and the time back, so complex issues can be analysed in context and anyone can understand what happened on the ground.
- ✕Drill, dig and haul data in separate systems, never on the same surface
- ✕Problems in the pit explained with spreadsheets and screenshots
- ✕Pit planning sessions working from old surveys
- ✕No way to replay what actually happened on shift
What you can see in 4D
Spatial views run on the same validated data as the rest of Connected Mine, so every object on the map links back to its records.
4D mine surface
A 3D representation of the mine surface at a point in time, updated in part or in full from survey, drone or other sources.
Mine blocks
Mining blocks and block models displayed in the pit, with links to the transactions behind them.
Equipment replay
Equipment animated from GPS coordinates, linked to the operational records at that point in time.
Movement vectors
Summary arrows that show overall material movement: tonnes, direction and distance.
Process spatial
Current or historical measurements from Connected Process Performance shown at the location they were taken.
PC, tablet and browser
Open the same 4D view on a desktop PC, a tablet or in any web browser.
Drill and blast in 3D
Every hole on the surface it was drilled into, coloured by what the drill measured.
- ✓Drill holes coloured by penetration rate or other downhole measures
- ✓Collar and toe accuracy against design
- ✓Drill rigs and blast patterns on the current mine surface
- ✓Time based playback of the drilling
- ✓Linked to the drill and blast data in Connected Mine Performance
Drill holes coloured by penetration rate, with dig polygons and trucks
Trucks and loaders working within planned dig polygons
Equipment, dig blocks and movement
Replay the pit with every asset that has a time and a place.
- ✓Equipment replay animation from GPS coordinates
- ✓Each position linked to the operational record at that point in time
- ✓Dig polygons and mine blocks with links to their transactions
- ✓Movement arrows from source to destination, summarising tonnes, direction and distance
- ✓Equipment health events shown on the map
Every machine on the surface, not just the material
Block models and the living surface
A digital twin of the pit that stays current, from the block model to product delivery.
- ✓Block models displayed in the pit, coloured by material or grade
- ✓4D surfaces updated from survey, drone and other sources
- ✓Any spatially tagged data mapped onto the most current surface
- ✓Heatmaps over the surface
- ✓Material tracked from the block model through to product delivery
Block model coloured by material type, with haul trucks in the pit
Material traced from the mine block through stockpiles and the plant to shipping
Click a block and see its whole story
Spatial is not a separate picture of the mine. It is the same data, in its place and time.
Drill to process
A block’s history from drilling to blasting, mining and processing, in one place.
Records behind every object
Equipment, blocks and measurements link back to the operational transactions behind them.
With charts or on its own
Combine spatial views with dashboards and charts, or use them standalone.
Where teams use it
Plan effectively without spending hours in the pit. Show supervisors, engineers and managers the same picture of the operation.
- ✓Pit planning sessions on the current surface
- ✓Event replays: what happened, where and when
- ✓Drill and blast reviews against design
- ✓Simple displays of the operation for people less familiar with the mine
- ✓Spatial views alongside dashboards from Connected Data Analysis Services
- ✓Corporate reporting in Power BI, Fabric and Databricks with FactStream and StarStream
Connected Spatial Intelligence FAQs
What is Connected Spatial Intelligence?
Connected Spatial Intelligence is the spatial module of the Connected Mine platform. It shows operational and transactional data in a true temporal 4D view, so you can see what happened on the mine surface at any point in time.
What can it display?
The 4D mine surface, mine blocks and block models, drill holes and blast patterns, equipment replay from GPS, material movement arrows, and plant measurements at their location.
Where does the surface come from?
The mine surface can be updated in part or in full from a variety of sources, including survey and drone data, so the view reflects the pit at each point in time.
Can I replay a shift?
Yes. Equipment is animated from GPS coordinates and each position links to the operational records at that point in time.
Which devices does it run on?
It runs on PC, tablet and browser.
How does it fit with the rest of Connected Mine?
It uses the same validated data as Connected Mine Performance and Connected Process Performance, and spatial views can be combined with dashboards from Connected Data Analysis Services.
