The new block model solution enables users to simultaneously design, populate, manage, and effectively share block models while centrally managing sample points, variables, and outputs associated with orebody data, said the company. 

It directly targets issues around correlations between data and file size raised by the constant stream of raw resources data from the field generated by modern mining.

"HxGN MinePlan Block Model Manager is a game-changer for the mining industry, empowering users with the ability to manage massive amounts of data and streamline workflows like never before," said Susan Brandt, vice president of MinePlan at Hexagon's Mining division. 

The software has the ability to visualise changes to the model as it progresses through the hands of technical experts - to improve auditability and information quality, noted the company.

The new Block Model Manager Application Programming Interface (API) also automates integration with other systems, enabling data interoperability into downstream mine design and scheduling workflows, said Hexagon.
