Material characterization and ore flow management for smarter mining

Epiroc GeoInventory is a comprehensive solution for mineral inventory control, ore flow optimization, and material characterization. It enables mining operations to track, reconcile, and report on the movement and quality of materials from resource to plant, ensuring transparency, compliance, and operational efficiency.

Know your ore. Control your flow. Delivery with confidence.

GeoInventory virtualizes the entire extraction process – from solid rock to processed product – providing real-time, auditable insights into material movement, grade control, and stockpile management. It integrates geological, planning, survey, and operational data into a single spatially referenced system for confident decision-making and reporting. It also applies financial-grade accounting to ore flow with auditable, real-time inventory transactions that accrue, deplete, shrink, and reconcile material across the mining value chain.

Achieve transaction-level confidence with integrated data from geology, mine plans, surveys, and shift feedback systems.

Minimize losses and variability through predictive blending and strategic face selection, ensuring consistent plant feed quality.

Generate real-time, traceable reports on stock levels, material movements, and reserve interactions for internal and regulatory use.
