WINMINOP has been specifically developed according to the requirements prescribed by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy and is fully compliant with all regulations. The system is fully secured and the database is encrypted to prevent any accidental or deliberate changes to the data, while data access is restricted to authorised users only.
Benefits of WINMINOP include:
Compatibility with all modern and popular device manufacturers including Leica, Topcon, South Instruments, as well as specific support for the Leica S910 Disto.
The software is continuously improved to align with industry best practices and data standards, while features can be added on request to support any environment or custom needs.
Native integration with GIS data through ArcGIS facilitates a holistic approach to mining operations by providing access to all data through a common interface.
WINMINOP is locally developed and supported across the region by Atira 3D, Leica and Esri South Africa.
