MAQ main offers

• Material quantity and quality tracking.

• High resolution 3D imaging of stockpiles

(mathematical and scanned model).

• Real time material inventory.

• Precise material separation & blending assistance.

• Autonomous operation incl. collision avoidance

system.

Benefits

• Improves equipment & process efficiency by

better knowledge of the stockyard process data

and thus, better machine utilization.

• Steady and consistent stockyard operation

un-independent of machine operator performance.

• Reduces machine wear & abrasion due to “gentle

operation” of machinery in autonomous operation.

• Increases the overall personnel and machine

safety.

Advanced Stockyard Management SIMINE MAQ powered by MineSenseReal-time Measurement of Ore Grade & Characteristics for Conveyors


Main Functionalities:

• Visualize:

Characterize and track the material prior to

stockpiling and/or before the downstream

operations

• Stabilize:

Reduce variability by anticipating changes in

ore quality and make necessary adjustments –

improves recoveries and better for equipment

(e.g. variable ore hardness)

• Optimize:

Deploy advanced blending / stockpile recovery

algorithms and strategies to optimize recoveries

and overall economics

Benefit and added value for the customer

by using SIMINE MAQ System at the Copper

mine in Canada

• Prediction of material quality for mill feed of at

least 6 hours before grinding (stockpile material

buffer), increasing the copper recovery rate.

• Use of a database for the input of real-time

measurement data as well as data services

of historical value.
