Maptek are a global technology company primarily focused on the mining industry. Maptek products include 3D laser-mapping technology, 3D geological modelling and mine planning software.

At Hillhead 2012, in addition to presenting their new quarry planning software package, Vulcan Quarry Modeller, Maptek will be introducing the latest developments in 3D laser scanning, including information about the new Maptek I-Site 8800 long-range laser scanning solution for the extractive industries.

The I-Site 8800 delivers the next generation in scanning hardware providing increased versatility and safety monitoring on quarry sites. It features outstanding accuracy and an easy-to-use productive interface. Fast and reliable scans aligned with Maptek digital imaging and modelling software have led to partners, Croft Quarries, being able to use rock-face analysis to detect less than half a metre sized changes and determine where rock falls have originated.
