The process of modernizing the mining & mineral exploration industry has always had a singular goal : to digitize every process involved in mining, from beginning to end.

The idea is to have a well-connected network that intelligently transfers data from the first survey to production and subsequent reclamation. The benefits of moving your processes to a digital platform are many, but the main obstacle is quite massive: how do you manage all this data in one place quickly and efficiently, without hundreds of hours spent in training, and millions of dollars in software costs?

Grid's Solution

Digitizing the drilling phase of operations is especially crucial, as errors in this stage of the operations could potentially lead to losses worth millions of dollars. Modern mining projects use a variety of sampling data, from drill holes, trenches, rocks present in mines, and ore bodies to perfect this stage. Yet, drilling continues to be the primary means of sample collection for evaluating mining sites and is predominantly deployed at the operating mines. The success of the entire production stage depends on this process.

To achieve the sort of digital synergy we're describing, and to get ahead of your schedule and your competition, your operations management needs to be highly flexible and accurate, especially in real-time. But with most companies being coerced into depending on external software development teams or legacy applications for a management platform, any kind of change needed turns into a laborious and expensive process. This is why Grid's Mining Management Software built on a No-code framework, is perfectly suitable for your requirements.

Drill site workers can instantly enter critical data on the centralized platform that keeps decision-makers up to date remotely.

How Grid Helps With Drilling

Grid's Drillhole Logger is your instant solution for everything related to drill holes, as you can digitize every step from planning, to accurate log-based analysis. Unlike traditional software, Grid is a no-code platform, which means much less expenditure on software development. If you use Grid's Drillhole Management Template, which has been developed and tested by mining and mineral exploration organizations all around the globe, installation is a single click - you can then customize the template completely, to fit your process, without a single line of code.

Just drag and drop, to create automated worksheets that provide the base for smooth workflows. This way, you realise your vision within a couple of days and integrate Drillhole Logger with every other process on Grid. By being an all-encompassing platform you don't need to worry about multiple suites of software, Grid takes care of logging the data from your drill-hole logs whether they're for exploration, production, geology, or any other related field.

The Grid Bonus

With digitized logging management, all your confidential data is securely stored in a centralized database that can be configured to suit any kind of project or domain. Also, with all your data in one place, you can create multiple views for different decision-makers with varying levels of abstraction so they only get to see relevant data in the most accessible manner.

Within a few clicks, admins and analysts can design logging tables, add exclusive columns, and define n number of rules, thus making full use of Grid's flexibility. Admins and Project Managers have access to error-free Daily Activity Sheets that are efficiently collected by your team with Grid's mobile application for Cost Reconciliation, Progress Tracking, and Compliance Monitoring.

Capturing regular Plod Reports and Drill Logs is the foundation of a sophisticated but reliable system in Grid, that looks after your Drillhole Pattern, Progress Analytics, Auto-Invoicing, Asset Management, Digital Communications, Geospatial Drill Data Management, etc.

All of these features are connected end-to-end on one easy-to-use interface, and this is why site owners can monitor and stay on top of every little detail from anywhere in the world. Millions of dollars of business undergoing exponential optimization with the touch of your fingertips, in the quickest period of time.
