companies , and Exyn Technologies is proud to play such a major role in that . In traditional stope surveying , the miners would have to get dangerously close to the “ face ” to do their job . They could be working very close to falling rock , or dangerously near a large stope opening . Exyn changed all of that with its technology . Now , a surveyor can safely operate under fully supported ground more than 30 metres away , and do their job with more accuracy . Furthermore , given the speed with which Exyn products work , the same task can be completed in a fraction of the time which a surveyor used to need to spend underground . For the mining company , automation and remote monitoring can have a dramatic effect on the number of lost time accidents ( LTAs ) that are key to assessing the company ’ s HSE performance . They are also essential in assessing the mine ’ s social , environmental and sustainability performance . Tracking these impacts and designing appropriate mitigation has become far easier as Exyn ’ s digital solutions enable better monitoring , improved waste management , and more efficient resource utilisation .
Ben Williams sums up his complex organisation : “ The benefits of using autonomous systems in demanding industries like mining cannot be overstated . Exyn is proud to be at this intersection – helping to keep miners safe , making mines more efficient , and providing rich , real-time datasets that allow operators to make decisions quickly . Technology has revolutionised the mining industry by improving safety , efficiency , and environmental responsibility while reducing costs . These advancements have enabled mining companies to operate more responsibly and profitably . That is the story so far . At Exyn , we are poised to continue to evolve our technology to help the mining industry stay at the forefront of innovation .”
Equipped with an ExynAero , survey teams can map multiple underground cavities in a single shift and produce georeferenced point clouds on-site for peak operational efficiency
