3D Laser Mapping has launched a new safety monitoring system that automatically detects tiny movements in slopes and walls in open pit mines. 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 e-mails. The system builds on the success of previous SiteMonitor systems that are already in use in diamond, gold, platinum and iron mines across the world. It 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 turn key solution. The system includes seven individual modules allowing users to tailor the package to meet their own requirements. Improved slope monitoring features include user definable alarm areas with selectable thresholds, warning emails when new data is received from within the alarm area and adaptive scan intervals allowing user configurable scan rates for different areas within the monitoring zone.
