Scanalyse was an innovative and award-winning company that provided niche condition monitoring and metallurgical services to the mining industry using its own MillMapperTM and CrusherMapperTM technology. I was with Scanalyse since the company’s official launch and intimate in the development of the technology, both in functionality and Quality Control.

The Department of Spatial Sciences at Curtin University is world renowned for its research in Surveying, Remote Sensing, GIS and Geodesy. I was employed immediately after completing my Bachelor of Surveying as a Research Associate and partook in the research activities of the department, in particular 3D laser scanning. Of note was Curtin University’s development of the now world-renowned MillMapper service product and ground-breaking research into 3D laser scanning calibration.Duties:Development of MillMapper technologyPresentation of MillMapper technology to mining clients across AustraliaLaser scanning of mill liners for use in MillMapperProcessing of laser scanning data in MillMapperTM and 3rd party softwareLaser scanner calibrationPlanning and execution of Terrestrial Laser Scanner surveys for commercial applications; e.g. stockpile volume surveys, ship hull inspection mapping, as-built surveys, etc.Operation and maintenance of the Department of Spatial Sciences’ Terrestrial Laser Scanners
