3D Laser Mapping has appointed CPE Technologia to act as a reseller of SiteMonitor, the specialist mine safety monitoring system. Founded in 1974, CPE has established a reputation as a leader in the leasing and sale of surveying equipment in Brazil, and offers a wealth of experience and expertise serving the country’s mining industry.

It is hoped this latest appointment will build on 3D Laser Mapping’s continued expansion into global markets and the addition of SiteMonitor to the products offered by CPE will further enhance their service portfolio.

“The addition of SiteMonitor to our product portfolio will further enhance our position as the leading provider of surveying solutions in Brazil,” commented Rogerio Herschel, director of CPE Tecnologia. “Already proven within the mining community, we are looking forward to exploring its operation in other arenas, including environmental applications and the construction market.”

SiteMonitor is a safety monitoring system that automatically detects tiny movements in slopes and walls in open-pit mines and other environments. Using advanced laser scanning technology, the modular SiteMonitor 3 system offers extensive user-defined alarm options with remote monitoring over the internet and automated warning emails.

SiteMonitor 3 can be used with virtually any terrestrial laser scanner, giving flexibility in the range, rate and accuracy of scan measurements. It has been designed as a completely flexible laser scanning system that includes configurable software modules to meet individual user’s requirements, plus hardware accessories and a comprehensive service package including commissioning, training and remote support, making it a complete turnkey solution.

“This is yet another important agreement as we look to expand the global markets in which we have a presence,” commented Dr Graham Hunter of 3D Laser Mapping. “We understand that it is essential to provide local support and therefore partnering with respected service providers such as CPE is vital for continued success.”
