About Mine Vision Systems
MVS is on a mission to unify and optimize the fragmented data collection and analysis processes in underground mining. We invented a precise and real-time underground location platform that is a gateway to remote monitoring and autonomous equipment operations in the mining of critical minerals and precious metals. Our products optimize human and computer decision making, leading to more productive, safe and efficient mining operations.
Our Opportunity
The adoption of smart technology in underground mining is limited by fragmented solutions and poor quality or inaccessible data. The market winners will be the companies that successfully deliver high value insights and simplify the friction involved with adoption. Our underground location platform, multi-sensing modality system, and focus on workflows provides many options to monetize new products and our platform. We are seeking highly driven employees to help us create our success story.
