Mapping Solutions for Mining Operations
Emesent is a world-leader in drone autonomy, LiDAR mapping, and data analytics. Our vision is to be the leading explorers of autonomous digitalization in the most challenging and seemingly unreachable places on Earth and beyond.
Founded in 2018, with deep connections to Australia’s globally recognised federal research lab CSIRO, we have been striving towards our vision and rapidly grown into a mid-sized global organization.
Headquartered in Australia, with global reach through our network of partners and regional offices, Emesent has built a reputation for delivering high quality data capture in the mining, infrastructure, survey and mapping industries.
Our team of over 80 roboticists, engineers and business development experts work side-by-side to deliver revolutionary efficiency, safety, and operational insights to our customers.
Our LHD vehicle mount attaches directly to the LHD vehicle and provides a protective cage for the Hovermap LiDAR scanner. Data is streamed to a visualization app for fast, accurate environmental assessment.
The versatile Hovermap scanner can be deployed via drone, robot and vehicle. The unit can be carried by hand or backpack or attached to a pole and other accessories.
Hovermap LHD enhances visibility, enabling response to hidden risks even in complete darkness.
Send in Hovermap mounted to Boston Dynamics Spot robot to map confined and dangerous spaces, while keeping personnel safe.
With a range of up to 300 meters and exceptional dust filtering capabilities, Hovermap accelerates time to insight.
Emesent Commander elevates mission control for Hovermap, delivering intuitive mapping, pilot assist, and autonomous planning for seamless, reliable data capture in any environment.
Vehicle RTK enables precise scanning of large areas and long assets without GCPs. Attach the Hovermap Vehicle Mount with RTK, connect, and start scanning. Automated georeferencing and drift correction optimize results for a reliable, robust point cloud—streamlining your workflow effortlessly.
Aura software, included with all Hovermaps, brings scans to life with realistic colorization and detail-enhancing filters. This all-in-one tool simplifies 3D laser workflows, making it easy to process, view, and interpret point clouds. Flexible export options streamline data management for faster, actionable insights.
360 Image Kit adds panoramic images to Hovermap scans, enhancing visual context in point clouds. The plug-and-play camera integrates seamlessly, auto-aligning images in Aura for easy export and visualization with partners like Pointerra3D.
Aura supports our Handheld 360 Image Kit, allowing you to align and register panoramic images with their related point clouds effortlessly.
Our flagship product, Hovermap, is a smart mobile scanning unit that combines autonomous flight and advanced collision avoidance technologies to map hazardous and GPS-denied environments.
Its award-winning technology utilizes innovative hardware, advanced algorithms and machine learning to automate collection and analysis of the physical world. Equally capable above ground or underground, indoors or out, Hovermap is a complete mobile LiDAR mapping solution.
Hovermap is uniquely versatile. Designed with a plug and play quick-release mechanism that allows for easy switching, it can be used as a handheld scanner or mounted to a drone, vehicle, backpack, or pole to map challenging and inaccessible areas.
This means our customers are now able to gain insights that were not possible before. With multiple applications across several industries and a rapidly growing customer base, Hovermap and our other solutions are being used commercially for a variety of applications by enterprise customers around the world.
Hovermap is a SLAM-based LiDAR mapping system. It enables data capture of critical underground mine excavations and captures new insights to optimize mine development and operations.
BHP’s Olympic Dam (OD) mine was an early adopter of Emesent’s Hovermap mobile LiDAR system. First deployed in February 2019, Hovermap has become a ubiquitous tool that’s integral to the mine’s underground operational workflows. Geotech, engineering, geology and survey teams use data captured by Hovermap from stopes, orepasses, drawpoints and other underground infrastructure.
Are you monitoring convergence as often as you should be? Are you able to monitor for change across your entire excavation? Are you able to predict where things may change dramatically?
In underground mining, accurately and efficiently assessing the geometry and volume of mined stopes is essential to optimize production, monitor stope integrity and evaluate the quality of mined ore. However, access to voids is often restricted, hazardous, or prohibited, and the ability to obtain accurate and comprehensive data for timely decision making is a challenge.
Offering a uniquely versatile mine mapping solution, Emesent Hovermap enables safe and efficient site surveying in stopes and vertical shafts, helps monitor convergence in drifts, enhances visibility for LHD operations, builds an accurate, up-to-date picture of inaccessible areas, and provides the actionable data for many below and aboveground use cases.
The Carrapateena mine in South Australia, one of the largest copper reserves globally with an annual production of 4,25 million tonnes, employs the sublevel caving mining technique and faced a growing 5m diameter hole at the surface in 2023.
