Case Study: Mine Vision Systems achieves real-time, high-accuracy underground mining with Ouster lidar

A Ouster Case Study

Mine Vision Systems boosts mining placement accuracy by 50% with Ouster

Mine Vision Systems faced a critical challenge in gold mining where traditional methods for extracting narrow ore veins were too slow and inaccurate, leading to massive financial losses. They needed a rugged, high-precision solution to operate in harsh underground environments. Mine Vision Systems turned to Ouster lidar sensors, specifically the OS0 and OS1 models, to address this.

Ouster provided the essential rugged lidar for the FaceCapture system, which fuses sensor data for real-time 3D mapping and accurate placement guidance. This solution enabled miners to be at least 50% more accurate in their placement. As a result, customers of Mine Vision Systems see a seven-figure financial impact within the first year of use, maximizing gold extraction and extending mine life.
