Mineware Consulting is revolutionizing mine safety with its advanced optical character recognition (OCR) system, a cutting-edge solution designed to eliminate human error in safety data collection. The system streamlines the capture and management of crucial safety and operational data, ensuring compliance, boosting efficiency, and enhancing overall mining safety.
OCR is a computerized technology that reads printed or handwritten text, allowing rapid extraction of data from physical documents. In mining, this involves creating customized check sheets for safety, production, and employee feedback. These sheets are digitally scanned and processed in under 30 seconds, turning the data into actionable insights.
Syncromine AI enhances the system’s capabilities by accurately interpreting handwritten checklists, speeding up verification and improving data processing. Mapped questions tied to specific risk parameters trigger corrective actions automatically, minimizing manual input and ensuring timely responses to safety issues.
The system’s mobile compatibility allows real-time data capture and immediate analysis, reducing human error and speeding up the processing of safety information. As part of the Syncromine software suite, the OCR system verifies and integrates safety, health, environment, and quality (SHEQ) data into centralized databases for easy access.
Proven successful at mining operations such as Gold Fields Limited and Impala Platinum in South Africa, Mineware’s OCR system is improving safety, increasing efficiency, and reducing errors in data collection across the industry.
