CUSTOM MAPPING CAPABILITIES COLLABORATION
providers of 5G communication technology and services, have teamed up to provide the mining industry with custom mapping capabilities. Here is now a member of Ericsson’s industry 4.0 partner ecosystem. The mining industry is in rapid
H
modernisation phase, with smart mining operations projected to increase threefold until 20251. A key driver of this transformation is the access to private cellular networks, enabling safer, more productive and more sustainable mining operations, through reliable and low latency connectivity. Ericsson’s high- performance 5G private networks are purpose-built for mining operations. A business can deploy an on-premise cellular network for its exclusive use. For mining this includes facilities in
ere Technologies, the location data and technology platform, and Ericsson, one of the first
very remote areas and underground tunnels, both of which are not typically within public cellular range. The combination of
Ericsson connectivity and Here location services delivers true smart mining capabilities, from mapping private terrain, to pinpointing and navigating assets in real-time. By using location data to build continuously updated private maps on the Here location platform, mining companies can create a canvas to improve operational efficiency and safety. The living map can then be used to search or track, and deploy routing powered by Here, as well as custom-built applications and services.
“We are partnering with Here because of the breadth of their location services. Combining our advanced private network solutions with Here services will give mining firms a head start on their digitalisation journey,” said Thomas Norén, head of Dedicated Network and VP at Ericsson.

AUTONOMOUS MAPPING DEVELOPMENTS REVEALED “We’re excited to be providing our
and mapping payload. The tough, lightweight, IP65 rated Hovermap ST includes Ethe firm’s new automated ground control feature. Since its 2019 launch, Hovermap has made significant impacts in mining, earning a reputation for its versatility, ease of use and mapping data quality. With thousands of hours of autonomous flight logged by customers around the world, it is a proven lidar mapping and autonomy solution for challenging GPS-denied environments. Hovermap ST with the
E
ground control feature builds on this reputation with significant improvements, allowing autonomous data capture in even harsher environments and for a wider range of use cases.

mesent has unveiled Hovermap ST, the latest version of its popular Hovermap autonomy
customers with a new robust and reliable autonomous mapping tool for challenging environments, including those that were previously not well
suited to SLAM-based mapping,” said Emesent CEO and co founder, Dr Stefan Hrabar.
Simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) based systems have proved their value for rapid mapping of complex environments, but achieving survey grade accuracy and repeatability has been a challenge in some environments. Surveyors were faced with a compromise between fast data capture and data accuracy, depending on the job requirements. This is no longer the case with
Hovermap ST and the automated ground control feature, as the feature enhances the SLAM solution to remove SLAM drift and produce survey grade, georeferenced point clouds.
