Minnovare

Founded in Perth, Western Australia in 2012, Minnovare is an advanced technology company that specialises in improving the accuracy, reliability, and profitability of industrial drilling operations – both in mining and civil engineering, worldwide. Our advanced drill alignment hardware and data-capture software combines to deliver clients' drill-data faster and more accurately than ever before. Which in turn enables faster, smarter operational decision making. Our flagship mining exploration/civil product, the Azimuth Aligner, is used in over 100 projects around the world to automate the alignment process: more than doubling the accuracy (+/- 0.2°) and reducing overall set-up times by up to 90%. The result is a substantial improvement in productivity for the end client (the mine or project owner), drilling contractors and drill-rig OEMs alike. The Production Optimiser system revolutionises underground hard-rock production drilling by substantially reducing hole deviation, and therefore significantly reducing ore dilution (by up to 30%) whilst improving fragmentation, reducing secondary drill and blasts, and increasing ore recovery. In January 2022 Minnovare joined the Hexagon group - a global leader in digital reality solutions, combining sensor, software and autonomous technologies for a simple, yet powerful purpose: Putting data to work to empower an autonomous future with a simple, yet powerful purpose: Putting data to work to empower an autonomous future.
