INKONOVA

Our Tech

  • Real-time laser mapping, the complete solution for underground exploration
  • Access GPS-denied, constricted and inaccessible zones
  • Laser based Beyond-Line-Of-Sight (BLOS) operation with Dual SLAM
  • Integration in mining automation systems and routine flights

Inkonova offers real-time, underground mapping and data acquisition technologies unlike any other. Safe and efficient inspection, mapping, and data capture underground is now possible with our real-time, 3D visualisation innovations.  Our agile, smart-drone technologies give you real-time access to areas that range from just below the surface, to deep, dangerous and previously inaccessible. We utilise non-GPS localization, SLAM and 3D pointcloud generation tools. Unleash your team’s exploration capabilities with Inkonova!

What we Do


Inkonova has pioneered the only real-time mapping and data acquisition tools for underground mining. Our technologies are the most cost effective, agile, and time-efficient tools available on the market to survey and visually inspect underground tunnels and formerly inaccessible areas. Exploring beyond-line-of-sight gives true all-around awareness!

batonomous laser

Gather critical data and decision-making support cost-effectively

  • Both aerial (drone) and ground (handheld, vehicle) options available
  • Provides geological surveys more safely, faster and further
  • Semi-autonomous workflow:
  • Prepare safe mission (assemble and arm)
  • Execute multiple-task mission:
    • Navigate, gather, process and display all simultaneously
  • Deliver immediate results: download data directly after landing

Flexible Deployment

  • Drone Enabled
  • Handheld
  • Vehicle mounted (optional)
  • Back Pack mounted 

Access the inaccessible

  • Reduce number of hours surveyors spend underground
  • Free surveyor time to focus on higher value tasks
  • Unlock the value and potential of old mines
  • Streamline decision-making process with real time data
  • Inspect historical geological structures to enhance future mining design

3D Mapping

  • Autonomy Level 1 (equivalent to GPS Position Hold but UG)
  • Autonomy Level 2 (waypoint navigation)
  • Autonomy Level 3 (fully autonomous exploration)
  • Automated cloud merging software increases efficiency and precision
  • Dual SLAM 3D mapping offers superior reliability
  • Real-time visualisation and in-flight point cloud processing provide instant 3D map
  • Insightful, user-friendly app with maps and operational info
  • Automated geo-reference control points offer precise geo-positioning
  • Collision avoidance system allow safe and confident piloting
  • Internal flight logging provides historical journey records
  • Low battery warning system

Smart and Intuitive Operation

Application Examples


N

Monitor and maintain ore-passes and shafts

  • The heart of material transport. Conditioned ore-and waste-passes drastically reduces transport carbon footprint
  • Monitor shafts and rock/waste passes
  • Flow optimization
  • Proactive reconditioning
N

Accident Analysis and Assessment

Optimise post-incident analysis with automated aerial inspection for better decision making and faster production ramp up time.
