    Emesent Brisbane HQ open night: autonomy and LiDAR workflows for mine engineers

    First reported on Australian Mining

    30 Second Briefing

    Emesent is opening its Brisbane headquarters on 20 August for a free National Science Week evening (5:30–9:00pm), offering students, industry and the public hands-on access to its autonomous mapping technology for “the world’s most inaccessible places”. In partnership with Surveyors Australia, the event will showcase Emesent’s drone-based LiDAR and autonomy stack used for GPS-denied underground mines and other confined environments. For mining engineers and surveyors, it is a rare chance to interrogate hardware–software workflows, data outputs and practical deployment constraints directly with the development team.

    Technical Brief

    • Event timing is fixed to a 3.5‑hour evening window, constraining depth of technical demonstrations.
    • Brisbane headquarters location enables direct inspection of in‑house hardware integration and test facilities, not just field units.
    • Collaboration with Surveyors Australia signals emphasis on survey‑grade workflows and standards compliance for captured datasets.
    • Open-night format allows side‑by‑side comparison of autonomy stack behaviour in different confined-environment scenarios.
    • Direct access to Emesent engineers supports detailed questioning on SLAM processing, drift control and point‑cloud accuracy.
    • Underground mining users can probe compatibility with existing CMS rigs, shaft inspection routines and geotech mapping practices.
    • Data-handling discussions can cover file formats, typical dataset sizes and downstream GIS or modelling integration.
    • Similar HQ-based technical open nights could de‑risk early adoption of autonomy stacks across other resource hubs.

    Our Take

    Our coverage shows that Australia-centred software pieces tagged under both Product and Projects frequently precede announcements of field deployments, suggesting this HQ event could foreshadow new project trials or expanded use of Emesent’s platforms on local mining and infrastructure sites.

    Workday’s 11-year HCM lead: workforce management takeaways for mine operators

    Workday has been named a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud HCM Suites for 1000-plus Employee Enterprises for the 11th consecutive year, reinforcing its position in large-scale workforce management. The NASDAQ-listed platform (WDAY) integrates HR, finance and IT functions, using enterprise AI to connect HR data, business processes and analytics in a single cloud environment. For mining operators running multi-site workforces above 1000 staff, this signals continued vendor stability for centralised rostering, skills tracking and compliance management.

    Westbourne adopts MukAway: surplus soils, haulage and carbon data for project teams

    Westbourne Civil Engineering has adopted MA EnviroTech’s MukAway platform to manage surplus materials, source fill, book haulage and generate compliance and carbon data across its road, sewer and groundworks schemes in the north of England, including Riverpark Road in Manchester (498 homes), Fox Wood Garden Village in Knowsley (350 homes) and Half Penny Meadows in Clitheroe (426 homes). MukAway now covers more than 1,000 sites and 100 companies in the UK and Ireland, with 1.4m m³ of material listed. The system offers local surplus–demand matching, the UK’s first direct digital haulage link, and ten‑year retention of Duty of Care and Materials Management Plan records, tightening auditability on bulk earthworks movements.

    NavVis CLX handheld capture: practical implications for mine and plant teams

    NavVis has launched the NavVis CLX, an agile handheld reality capture device using dual LiDAR architecture to generate clean, low-noise point clouds for high-volume, day-to-day mine and plant documentation. Positioned to complement the backpack-style NavVis VLX and trolley-based NavVis MLX, the CLX is intended for frequent use by non-specialist staff, putting “professional reality capture in every hand”. For mining engineers and survey teams, this points to wider, lower-cost 3D documentation of underground drives, process plants and brownfield modifications without full survey campaigns.
