Dassault Systèmes Part 5: How GEOVIA & MineSense Are Fixing Mining's Data Problem #369
As mining operations become increasingly data-driven, one of the ongoing challenges is connecting field-generated information with planning systems in a way that supports faster and more accurate decision-making. In many cases, real-time operational data and mine planning platforms have historically operated in separate workflows, limiting the ability to quickly translate field activity into actionable insight.
In this Mining NOW episode recorded live at SME MineXchange, host Rory Bamford speaks with Ralph Smith and Tim Norris from Dassault Systèmes and its GEOVIA Surpac platform, alongside Hannah Lang from MineSense, about new approaches to integrating operational and planning data.
The discussion focuses on linking ShovelSense information directly into three-dimensional mine planning environments. By incorporating bucket-level ore grade measurements captured during loading activities into planning workflows, operations can gain a more accurate understanding of how field conditions compare with block models and planned outcomes.
The episode also explores the potential impact of automated data pipelines on reducing ore dilution, improving blast movement interpretation, and minimizing manual data handling processes. Beyond current capabilities, the conversation examines emerging concepts such as virtual twins, AI-assisted decision support, and broader integration across mining workflows from extraction through processing.
For professionals involved in mine planning, geology, operations, and mining technology, this discussion provides insight into how connected systems and real-time data integration are helping reshape decision-making across modern mining environments.
