For many underground mine surveyors, delays and dangers are all too familiar. But what if you could have immediate, high-precision stope maps at your fingertips without ever stepping into harm’s way?
Traditional cavity monitoring systems require manual operation at the stope edge, exposing personnel to hazardous falls, air quality risks and geotechnical hazards.
These systems are slow, capturing limited data with each scan and often missing critical information in inaccessible or dangerous environments.
For many surveyors, every scan means hours of setup and manual piloting, only to receive incomplete datasets that delay key decisions and production schedules. The result: increased safety risk, mounting operational costs, and lost opportunities to optimise mine productivity.
Emesent’s fully autonomous stope mapping solution, powered by Hovermap, redefines underground surveying.
Already trusted by over 200 hard rock mines globally, Hovermap delivers breakthrough autonomy, data quality, and ease of use.
Designed specifically for the harshest mining environments, it’s the only solution you need to safely, quickly, and thoroughly map complex stopes, no pilot, no line of sight, and no guesswork.
Deploying Hovermap is as easy as defining your virtual scan boundary in Commander, Emesent’s intuitive mission app. With minimal training, a single surveyor can be ready to scan in under five minutes.
Hovermap autonomously explores the stope, even navigating passages as narrow as 2.4m and delivers instant, in-field point clouds with onboard processing.
No specialised piloting skills required; no need for constant radio link; just fast, safe, repeatable mapping.
The latest capabilities in Hovermap transform the traditional way data is collected, analysed and used.
Emesent’s stope mapping solution strengthens safety standards and workflows.
