Trimble® and GroundProbe, part of Orica Digital Solutions specialising in real-time solutions for measuring and monitoring geohazards, have announced a new collaboration to offer geotechnical mine monitoring customers the option of purchasing a comprehensive slope stability monitoring portfolio from a single point of contact.
GroundProbe customers can now purchase Trimble monitoring solutions to complement GroundProbe’s range of sensors and software through their GroundProbe sales contact, the companies say.
Mining operators can simplify sourcing and deployment to execute slope stability programs and take advantage of service and support from GroundProbe, Trimble and the Trimble distribution channel. Customers will also experience more seamless integrations between Trimble and GroundProbe sensors and software, Trimble 4D Control™ and MonitorIQ® to enable smooth data flow. Incorporating the necessary mine monitoring sensors into one environment helps professionals visualise a more complete picture of site conditions to improve decision making on slope stability risks and site safety, the companies say.
“Our work with Trimble allows GroundProbe and Orica Digital Solutions to offer a range of Trimble’s advanced robotic and automatic total stations, 3D laser scanners and software solutions for our global customers,” Ben Moke, Chief Operating Officer, GroundProbe, said. “Our organisations share a vision of providing open, connected and secure information that helps customers streamline workflows, boost efficiency and better manage risk.”
The collaboration will help mining operators explore growth opportunities more easily by enhancing overall productivity and operational effectiveness through the combined expertise and efficiencies of both companies, they say.
“We are focused on creating the best possible solution and service to Trimble and GroundProbe customers,” Riley Smith, Strategic Marketing Director, Monitoring, Mining and Tunnelling at Trimble, said. “By accessing top-tier monitoring technology and support without the need to coordinate and manage multiple vendors, mining operators will gain greater reliability through the global support network of both companies. This will save valuable time and maximize efficiencies throughout the site.”
