Axceta, a company specializing in the development of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and data visualization, and Point Laz, specializing in 3D scanning of mining shafts, both participating in the Vortex Pathway, announce today the launch of the development of one of the first projects to transform the mining industry within the framework of the Autonomous Mine Mission – 2030 objective, an initiative of the MISA Group.

The project aims to develop a solution that will automate the inspection of the integrity and safety of mining shafts. Current legislation requires a weekly examination of mines. Inspections are done manually by visual inspection and require a complete shutdown of mine operations for eight hours.
The solution proposed by Point Laz and Axceta will allow automated inspection in less than an hour using sensors and LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technologies. The solution includes information extraction, telecommunications, data presentation and visualization, and will also offer remote archiving and data consultation.
“Not only will the automation of inspections make it possible to detect potential problems earlier and more easily and maintain a digital history, but it will also allow maintenance teams to monitor the condition of the shafts without exposing them to danger,” according to Alexandre Grenier, CEO of Point Laz.
“We are eager to apply our expertise in connected objects to autonomous mine projects. The solution that can be deployed on multiple sites will enable remote monitoring of mine safety and facilitate the maintenance of connected equipment on the data platform. Operating costs will also be significantly reduced, with up to an 800% reduction in the time required for inspections,” according to Francis Latulippe, CTO of Axceta.
