Project managers can make quick assessments
As it relates to modern mining, certain key performance indicators: such as productivity, safety, efficiency, and equipment availability, are among the chief concerns when running a reliable industry. In the past, navigating these areas of interest depended on a deep well of knowledge and experience. Recently, however, 3D laser scanning services have been making headlines for their revolution in business.
Early technology adoption has already helped other industries improve performance margins across all measures. Even NASA has been able to use this new wave of innovation for topographical space exploration. It remains clear that the potential exists for greatly reducing the barrier of entry for experienced plant management.
How Can 3D Laser Scanning Services Assist?
Using linear designs and materials in mining helps deliver a maximum wear-life in high-impact mill applications. The use of 3D scanning services ensures uniformity amongst all finished products and streamlines the linear nature of production. One of many byproducts that this provides is lower machine maintenance and material turnover. With fewer steps and personnel involved in the means of production and the manning of machinery, there is a reduction in the occurrence of user error within the plant.
Maintenance checks can be performed digitally and thus remotely (a great boon in the age of pandemic-driven distancing). Possible intervention strategies can then be constructed via the virtual interface, allowing a space for more team members to be involved in virtual projections. At the same time, the software itself eliminates the need for material used in the capacity of trial-and-error.
Operators and plant managers take great care to monitor ore production in their mining facilities. The ability to use 3D scanning services to implement new strategies offers the benefit of simultaneously doing so without interrupting productivity. Not only can a normal workflow continue (avoiding a loss in profits), but better strategies can be implemented without wear on valuable machinery.
A successfully run plant includes a list of factors to consider. 3D laser scanning employs the use of lasers for wear analysis, reline optimization, continuous improvement programs, and grinding circuit optimization to ensure transparency and vital response times. In using 3D scanning services to collect and organize operational data – project planners can quickly assess available power, load levels, and a host of other relevant information about their mill operations.
Before suggesting a change, running simulations and tests provides absolute confidence that the given solution will work. Just one advantage of the data organized and presented by 3D reconstructions allows for a copy of each digital model to be used individually by multiple users. This means variables such as water percentages, belt speed, liners, and torque can all be managed simultaneously by different groups; despite involving the same portion of a machine.
