SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ:TRMB) announced today the release of its
Trimble® Connected Mine™ Visual Intelligence module with
support for mixed-reality technology including Microsoft HoloLens
to provide visual collaboration of mine spatial data.
Trimble Connected Mine is an integrated and complete view of
mine data to improve and accelerate operational and strategic
decision making. Visual Intelligence is an optional module that
enables the 3D visualization of Trimble Connected Mine data. With a
proven track record of enterprise-level implementations in some of
the largest mines worldwide, Trimble is transforming the way mines
work by combining mining expertise, spatial technology, business
analytics, visualization and decision support tools to enable
mining companies to fully optimize their resources for safe,
productive and profitable mining. The portfolio includes mine
information systems, planning and productivity applications,
intelligent devices and technology infrastructure.
Robust and Complete Data Models
Trimble Connected Mine provides a live web environment for data
to be collected and presented in easy-to-read tables, graphs,
dashboards and spatial views. It enables a wide range of
administrative and operations data to be connected and consolidated
across language, currency, commodity, unit of measure, time zone
and location, which can be viewed from a single software
solution.
More Informed Decisions
With Trimble Connected Mine Visual Intelligence, management
teams can be more confident in making key decisions by using a
validated set of inputs and unique visualization that allow both
strategic and detailed scenario planning. Visualization quickly
reveals outliers, with options to review historical data
quickly.
"Using Trimble Connected Mine Visual Intelligence with Microsoft
HoloLens provides an interface to our data that has massive
potential," said Johan Smet, general
manager of Trimble Mining. "It enables mining professionals to
improve collaboration and communication by visualizing and
interacting with high-definition holograms of the mine."
"This powerful but practical technology delivers immediate value
to mine management and confirms Trimble's commitment to provide
innovative measurement, reporting and decision support solutions
for the industry," said Smet. "Trimble's broad technology portfolio
delivers revolutionary analytical tools to mining management teams
and tailors those tools to the type and size of their
operations."
Mixed-Reality Technology
Using Microsoft HoloLens and Trimble technology, mine management
can clearly visualize large spatial datasets to rapidly identify
exceptions without the need to visit the site, improving safety and
reducing the need to travel.
"Microsoft HoloLens enables companies, designers and creators to
work with three-dimensional data in order to bring products and
information to life, and Trimble's implementation of the technology
via the Trimble Connected Mine solution is an example of how
visualization can generate business benefits such as efficient
decision making, analysis and collaboration," said Scott Erickson, general manager, Microsoft
HoloLens.
Collaboration Across the Team
Trimble Connected Mine includes a range of reports including
material, product, delay, budget tracking and KPI dashboards that
can be personalized for a fast deployment and are flexible to align
with most mine workflows. Now, the CEO, COO, mine manager, business
improvement manager and metallurgist can share the dataset to
examine and solve issues from a single data source.
For remote operating centers, Trimble Connected Mine offers an
immersive environment to understand workflow and site issues.
Trimble Connected Mine offers a platform that aggregates geospatial
data and production data. The immersive 3D environment adds visual
context to the operational data and allows stakeholders to view
operations in safety from remote operations centers and offsite
locations.
Trimble at MINExpo
Trimble Connected Mine using the Microsoft HoloLens will be
showcased during MINExpo in Las
Vegas September 26 - 28, 2016
at the Trimble booth 2971. Technical and case study presentations
are scheduled throughout the show for mine management to learn how
innovative mines are gaining value from the technology.
Trimble and Microsoft HoloLens
Trimble is developing a new generation of tools, built using
HoloLens and the Windows Holographic platform on Windows 10, which
are intended to improve quality, collaboration and efficiency in
the design, construction and operation of buildings, structures and
mines.
When used by Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) and
Mining professionals, HoloLens extends interaction with 3D models
beyond the confines of a 2D computer screen, creating new ways for
the many stakeholders of complex, multiphase construction and
mining projects to visualize, collaborate, share ideas and manage
change.
