Micromine has launched its 2026 Half-Year Release, rolling out upgrades across all eight products in its geology, mine design, scheduling, fleet management and processing software suite as part of a Weir-backed push for a connected mining ecosystem. The release tightens integration between exploration tools such as Micromine Origin and mine planning modules like Micromine Beyond, and links them more directly with operational platforms including Micromine Pitram. For engineers, the move signals more consistent data models and workflows from resource modelling through short-interval control and plant performance monitoring.

Viridien has launched Evergreen Data Solution, an AI‑powered subsurface data platform that automates transformation of large, complex geoscience datasets so asset teams can access and trust results more quickly. Built on Viridien’s existing digital transformation stack, it applies data science workflows to seismic, geological and petrophysical data, targeting shorter interpretation cycle times from exploration through development planning. For mine planners and resource geologists, the tool aims to tighten model update loops, standardise multi‑source inputs and reduce manual data conditioning effort.

Leica has launched a new RTC series of terrestrial 3D laser scanners that combine the speed and on-site registration of the RTC360 with the robustness and higher accuracy of the ScanStation P‑Series, targeting surveying, construction, industrial plants, public safety and infrastructure workflows. Three performance tiers allow users to step up to more demanding scan jobs without replacing their full hardware stack, supporting incremental upgrades across project portfolios. A new Livelink data service, integrated into the Cyclone Field 360 mobile app, streams multi-scanner datasets directly to Hexagon GeoCloud so field, office and cloud models stay synchronised in near real time.
