Mine Vision Systems develops real-time 3D mapping and data collection technology for underground mining operations. Founded in 2015 as a spinoff from Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Center, the company is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The company's core product, FaceCapture, combines camera imaging with 3D lidar sensor fusion to generate geo-referenced models of mining environments. The system captures data from safe distances up to 20 metres, addressing a critical operational constraint in underground mining. According to the company, most customers report seven-figure returns within their first year of deployment.
Mine Vision Systems serves a roster of major mining operators including Sibanye Stillwater, OceanaGold, Agnico Eagle, Boliden, Hecla Mining, Coeur Mining, and South32. The company has also established partnerships with software and services providers including Datamine, Ramjack, Proinfra, and ITBox KZ. Its geographic reach extends across North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
