Field test of FBG-based sensor system – beneficial for industry and society

Purpose and goal The project intends to further the development process, to get closer to product and commercialisation of an FBG-based sensor system for measuring bedrock movements. The project has three main objectives:…

Accurate indoor and underground positioning

Innovation Idea competition winner 2017 Purpose and goal The goal was to investigate the use of position information like GPS in vulnerable environments such as mining and industry, as well as developing evaluation…

ReLoad: Robot-aided long-term autonomous drilling

Purpose and goal The pre-study resulted in a concept configuration of a drilling rig with autonomous reloading capacity. The design was verified both using kinematic simulations, as well as a part of a…

Data driven innovative production drilling

Purpose and goal The Strategic innovation programme for the mining and metal producing sector aims to strengthen the competitiveness of the mining sector and contribute to sustainable development. This project clearly shows the…

MLOC+

Purpose and goal The project has reached most of the goals. Partly achieved is only P2 in which we identified solutions but did not implement them in Boliden. All other goals are considered…

SafePos II – Safety positioning for the mining industry II

Purpose and goal The goal is to enable detailed positioning of emergency personnel in case of a fire in the mine and thus increase safety for both the mining and rescue personnel. The…

Optimised medium range mine planning

Purpose and goal This project aims to build and demonstrate a prototype of a tool, designed to coordinate real-time information and actions of mining processes, to optimise the scheduling of resources used in…

Improved resource efficiency through dynamic loading control

Purpose and goal The goal of the project is to improve the resource efficiency by applying newly developed dynamic loading criteria that enable better adaptation to variations in ore characteristics and properties in…

Conceptual modelling and prospecting criteria for stratiform Zn-Pb-Ag-(Cu) mineralisations in Bergslagen

Purpose and goal The project has developed new exploration criteria and a revised genetic model for stratiform Zn-Pb-Ag deposits in Bergslagen. The emphasis has been on constraining the stratigraphic and structural context, as…
