Innovation
The mining industry’s adoption of new technologies is changing the way operations are conducted and creating new opportunities for renewability, efficiency, and productivity of mining practices. V2 Mining Services is at the forefront of adapting our products and services to meet new capabilities as the industry evolves, delivering cost savings and reducing barriers to entry for our customers.
Technology in mining
Digital transformation
IoT devices are being integrated into mining equipment, providing vast amounts of data and enabling real-time analytics and data-driven decision-making. Specialised analysis systems are required to make meaningful use of this data and obtain actionable insights.
Autonomous systems
Remote-controlled and semi-autonomous machinery, including drills, haul trucks, and loaders, are revolutionising mining operations. The global influence of automation continues to grow as mines seek to enhance safety, minimise downtime, and improve operational efficiency.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are becoming increasingly capable of providing real-time analytics and autonomous decisions. These include predictive maintenance algorithms to prevent unexpected breakdowns and ground recognition to reduce human intervention.
Our innovations
Big Data Analytics
Measure While Drilling (MWD) data
Our team specialises in the comprehensive analysis of MWD data by using a proprietary data analysis platform developed in-house. These advanced analyses are integrated into our traditional services and drill bit design methods, constituting a novel approach to enhance drilling efficiency, safety, and overall productivity.
Machine learning models
Our data analysis platform features tools at the cutting edge of real-time analytics including a patented analysis methods to predict the failure of machines and components, enabling customers to minimise machine downtime due to unplanned maintenance. Additional analysis techniques are being used to develop industry-leading models for predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and classification.
Automation
Autodrill configuration
We can evaluate drills with autodrill functionality and ensure that settings and programs are ideally configured based on the drill bit and drilling application. MWD analytics provides us with an intimate understanding of the capabilities of our drill bits and how to get the best performance.
Drill program customisation
By identifying inefficiencies where time and resources may be wasted, solutions can be tailored to specific site conditions and project goals. This may involve simple adjustments to autodrill programs or a completely new autonomous drilling program for a particular application such as loose or unconsolidated rock.
