Mining operations face complex challenges.
Sites are often remote, difficult to access and present significant safety risks. Mine site inspections, shutdowns and maintenance campaigns take time, cost money and expose workers to hazards.
Virtualplant transforms the way you manage and plan your operations. It allows you to step into your mine site remotely, from any device, anywhere in the world.
Our technicians can capture entire facilities within days, with minimal disruption.
Your virtualplant platform can be processed and go live in as little as 10 days.
A 15-minute orientation is all your team needs to start using the platform confidently.

A digital twin is a virtual representation of your mine site, systems or processes. When combined with IoT and enterprise data, it gives you real-time insights into operations, helps predict maintenance needs and supports better decision-making.
Unlike a traditional digital twin that relies on renders or CAD models, a visual twin, like virtualplant, uses high-resolution imagery to capture your site exactly as it is. This allows teams to conduct inspections, training and planning with real-world accuracy.

Yes
Virtualplant can connect with systems such as SAP, Maximo, and other enterprise or maintenance platforms to create a single source of truth for your mine.
Most facilities are scanned in just a few days, with your platform ready to use in as little as 10 days after scanning, depending on the size and complexity of your site.
Most mining clients rescan key areas before major shutdowns, expansion projects or regulatory inspections. The frequency depends on operational changes and compliance requirements.
Yes, virtualplant has been deployed in both underground mines and remote open-pit operations. The platform supports portable devices such as tablets and iPads for field use. It just needs an internet connection.
No, our scanning process is designed to be minimally disruptive. In most cases, we can work around your operations or tenants without impacting normal activities.
Yes. Virtualplant allows you to measure distances, dimensions and clearances directly within the model, reducing the need for on-site surveying.
We make every effort to capture as much information as possible during on-site scanning. While some items may occasionally be obstructed or missed, our images are captured in 6k resolution, allowing you to zoom in and clearly view most asset nameplates and tags for easy identification.
For even greater efficiency, virtualplant can be enhanced with our automatic tag recognition add-on, which detects tags and matches them to your existing asset register, streamlining and accelerating your asset management processes.
Typically, users can’t add information directly to virtualplant. However, with Vplanner, an add-on designed for contractors and internal teams, you can create standardised, accurate, and error-free work orders with minimal training.

Yes, information such as wiring diagrams, maintenance records, permits and manuals can be embedded into the model, giving teams a central reference point.
Typically, large mine sites are captured in modules or sections (e.g. processing plant, workshops, pit area). These spaces are linked together for seamless navigation across the operation.
Our aerial models can capture and present your entire facility as one complete, navigable environment.
By enabling remote inspections, training and collaboration, virtualplant significantly reduces the need for travel to and from site. This lowers your operational carbon footprint and helps mining companies meet environmental targets while saving costs on logistics.
Yes. Virtualplant provides a high-resolution visual record of your site that can be used for audits, safety reviews and environmental reporting. It helps ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while reducing the time and cost of traditional inspections.
Your data is hosted securely with industry-standard encryption. We follow ISO-certified processes and ensure strict data governance for sensitive mining operations.
