IT toolset for smart exploration management
The keynote summarizes the successful experience of AGR Software in providing effective interaction between mining companies and their contractors which undertake drilling and geological monitoring. Nowadays, using computerized documentation systems in mining is a matter of course. They ensure that customers obtain good quality digital primary geological data. Considering that, applying such IT systems as AGR is far from being innovative. Nevertheless, making the exchange of geological data between all project participants effective is still a challenging task. As a result, there is a need for specific IT tools that would provide mining companies and their contractors with a single information space without extra costs and overcomplication. The report describes in details how the information exchange is organized in order to make geological exploration smarter, faster and more accurate.
