Emesent Aura
About Emesent Aura
Aura is Emesent's point cloud processing and visualisation software, included with all Hovermap deployments. It handles the complete workflow from raw LiDAR data to processed, georeferenced point clouds ready for analysis, reporting, and integration into mine planning systems.
Aura 2.0, launched in September 2025, introduced concurrent user licensing, user-selected ground control points, and check point validation for streamlined accuracy reporting. It provides real-world colorisation, enhanced detail filters, and flexible export options compatible with industry-standard formats. Aura supports scans captured via handheld, backpack, drone, or vehicle deployments and leverages RTK and SLAM technology for precise positioning in both underground and above-ground environments.
The software supports 360 Image Kit integration for panoramic imagery overlaid with point clouds. Aura exports to formats compatible with mine planning software including Datamine, Vulcan, and Deswik, enabling scanned reality data to flow directly into planning workflows as foundational digital twin inputs.

3DEXPERIENCE GEOVIA
by Dassault Systèmes
The 3DEXPERIENCE GEOVIA platform is Dassault's next-generation cloud-based mining solution providing a comprehensive, real-time view of mine business activity and operations. It hosts specialised roles covering the full mine lifecycle: Geology Modeler, Pit Optimizer, Strategic Mine Planner, Surface and Underground Mine Designer, and a full suite of caving roles including Cave Footprint Finder, Cave Planning Manager, Cave Scheduler, and Cave Management System.
Akselos Integra
by Akselos
Akselos Integra creates sensor-calibrated, physics-based digital twins of complex engineering structures. For mining, this means creating digital replicas of stackers, reclaimers, and shiploaders — the critical bulk materials handling equipment that operates continuously at mine sites and ports and represents enormous capital investment.
AnyLogic
by AnyLogic
AnyLogic provides virtual environments for analysis, testing, and optimisation of mining activities. The Fluid Library simplifies simulation of bulk material logistics and mining processes. Users model everything from excavation plans and equipment utilisation to load-and-haul operations, processing plant logistics, and mine-to-port supply chains across commodity types.
AVEVA Dynamic Simulation
by AVEVA
AVEVA Dynamic Simulation (formerly known as DYNSIM) models real-time, time-dependent behaviour of industrial processes using first-principles equipment models with rigorous thermodynamic and fluid flow calculations. It supports engineering validation, control system testing, and operator training by replicating dynamic plant conditions during startup, shutdown, normal, and emergency operations.
