There are advantages of innovation in technological advancement especially in Mobile Mapping (Remote Sensing) but some are detrimental to the disadvantaged employees whose role a machine will replace. As such advantages to the project management are greater still offering several advantages over traditional survey methods. Some of the benefits include: 1. **Improved Safety**: Traditional surveying often requires personnel to work in hazardous conditions, such as active blasting zones or unstable terrain. With GPS embedded LiDAR-equipped excavators, surveyors can quickly scan large areas without the need for a site visit. This brings safety conditions for the crew. 2. **Faster Data Acquisition**: LiDAR-equipped excavators capture millions of precise data points per second, creating detailed 3D models of mine sites. This method outperforms traditional surveying techniques, covering large areas quickly and with fewer personnel. As a result, survey operations become more efficient, reducing time and labor costs. 3. **Increased Accuracy**: LiDAR provides highly accurate, high-resolution data in the form of cloud-points LAS files that enables informed decision-making. By creating precise 3D models, LiDAR allows for accurate volume calculations, stockpile measurements, and slope analysis. This accuracy is crucial for optimizing mining operations¹. 4. **Reduced Costs**: LiDAR streamlines surveying processes, minimizing the need for extensive ground-based surveys. Fewer personnel and faster data acquisition lead to cost savings in labor and operational expenses. 5. **Enhanced Decision-Making**: By understanding the topography, voids, and ore bodies, mining surveyors can make informed decisions about excavation, resource allocation, and safety measures. In simplicity Remote Sensing technology significantly improves safety, efficiency, and accuracy in mining operations, making it an essential tool for modern mining surveyors. #MobileMapping #Innovations #Geomatics

After doing my own research on different machine control systems , I have loved seeing this beauty. New to the UK market, Makin' 3D has to go down for me as being THE best machine control system available in the UK, It really is an incredible system. Big hitting in Scandinavia, it's refreshing to see it land in the UK. After spending a few days in front of the system with the Nasco Digtec guys, it has raised serious amounts of interest from contractors and engineers. Boasting features like: ▪️ Display all relevant models in the system. Easy for the operator to select the relevant task, and line up. ▪️Subscription FREE cloud ▪️Highly RELIABLE ▪️Data sharing 'LIVE' between machines, surveyors, back office. Ensures all machines are running on the same models. Any product is only as good as its backup right? For me, the guys at Nasco Digtec Ltd have been nothing short of amazing, Graham Brown Neil Smith They are always available, and also really responsive. #ithastoberight #3d #easytouse #excavators #machineguidence #engineers #plantopperator #earthmovers #earthworks #modeling #worktoamodel #support
