SkyVerse
About SkyVerse
SkyVerse automates the entire visualisation pipeline for mining environments — processing data from drones, LiDAR, and other sensors, creating 3D meshes from 2D images using NVIDIA pretrained neural networks, converting them to USD (Universal Scene Description) format, and bringing them into NVIDIA Omniverse for live-synced digital twin creation. SkyVerse uses NVIDIA Jetson edge devices to process terabytes of data per day into kilobyte-size analytics for frontline users.
The platform can simulate variables such as weather and equipment failures up to five years into the future while learning from five years of historical operational data. It automatically identifies toes and crests of mine benches — reducing identification time from multiple days to minutes — and eliminates thousands of manual open-pit measurement interactions per site per year. The Omniverse integration enables collaborative, immersive access to the digital twin across distributed teams.
SkyVerse competes in the drone-based digital twin space with Emesent's Hovermap and Aura combination, differentiating through its NVIDIA Omniverse integration, predictive simulation capabilities, and focus on surface mining operations. It is used at Anglo American, Teck Resources, and Kinross operations.

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.
