Digital Mine™ is not just a software product. It is a technology and methodological approach developed by Sight Power for building, maintaining, and evolving a comprehensive digital model of a mine—its geology, infrastructure, operations, and processes—across the entire lifecycle.
Powered by the Mine Advisor™ platform, Digital Mine™ provides a unified digital environment that connects surface activities, underground operations, and enterprise systems into a coherent Digital Twin.

DIGITAL MINE™ incorporates an extensive set of tools developed for intelligent geological modeling, mine design, planning and surveying (including LiDAR laser scanning technology) and general mining operational support. Our software provides secure, rapid access to a variety of datasets (spatial, operational, engineering, financial) and high-resolution data models for mining engineers, geologists, surveyors, mechanical and electrical engineers, geotechnical engineers, geophysicists, operational personnel, and managers. Our information workflow enables customers to use their spatial datasets more effectively (geological, geophysical, seismic, hydro-geological, GIS, etc.): engineering and surveying data (mining plans, mining equipment parameters, hoisting operational data, monitoring and dispatch data, etc.), geochemical data (ore samples and assay analysis) and financial elements. This ensures informed decisions, operational efficiency, risk mitigation, clear reporting, simplified document flow and ultimately, improved safety and increased profitable mining operations.
In addition to continuous informational support of mining operations, it is critically important to monitor, in real time, mining conditions as well as the operational status of essential mining equipment. This prevents hazardous situations such as subsidence, rock falls and rock bursts, sudden mud-rush or water inflows, gas emissions, etc. Mining companies currently use a variety of disparate monitoring systems rather than one integrated information support system.
DIGITAL MINE™ offers a holistic approach and integrates data streaming from any monitoring system into all mining operational processes and procedures.
Real-time information support of mine operations in a continuously changing environment is essential and requires engineers to analyze enormous volumes of spatial data. The problem is exacerbated by additional operational data, which is constantly arriving and updating, from various monitoring sensors. Big Data management is particularly challenging in mining.
Sight Power and DIGITAL MINE™ technology provides a complete and effective solution for Big Spatial Mining Data management. Customers receive up-to-date 3D models of the mine, 2D thematic maps and other associated information, in real-time from anywhere in the world.
DIGITAL MINE™ provides mine owners, and their personnel, with instant informational control and monitoring, of their mining projects and operational activities.
Digital Twin for Mining Operations
A real-time digital replica of mining operations that continuously integrates data from multiple sources, enabling monitoring, analysis, simulation, and optimization of assets and processes to improve efficiency and decision-making.
Introducing the SightPower Mining Data Platform — a powerful and flexible solution designed to transform how mining data is collected, processed, and utilized. Built with scalability and performance in mind, the platform enables organizations to efficiently manage complex datasets and gain actionable insights for better decision-making.
Spatial data streams are processed and divided into lightweight semantic data and heavy structured data. Semantic information and extracted objects are stored in indexed RDB tables for fast, real-time access. Heavy structured data is stored separately in a dedicated repository and can be uploaded asynchronously when needed.
SightPower Big Data visualization generates a stack of generalization levels from spatial data, forming a Data Pyramid stored in fast-access storage. The visualization engine maps displayed images to the appropriate pyramid levels and supports both thick and thin clients. This approach allows large datasets to be structured in flexible ways, enabling efficient and versatile data analysis.
