MineSense
Real-time sensor-based ore sorting at the mine face
About
MineSense builds sensor systems that scan and grade every shovel bucket and conveyor load so mines can divert waste before it consumes energy, water, and reagents. Its ShovelSense and BeltSense products use X-ray fluorescence sensing for bulk ore sorting at the point of extraction, with a 24/7 client data portal for analytics. The Vancouver company was named to the Global Cleantech 100 and counts ABB among its strategic investors, with deployments including Copper Mountain Mining's shovel fleet.
