GroundedAI + Deswik Suite

Keep mine plans current with production. Lithos captures geology and geotechnical conditions in 3D underground, Strata structures and exports the dataset, Deswik picks it up for planning and scheduling without a manual translation step.

Decision anchoring

Mine plans are decisions

Mine plans are decisions made against the current state of the ground and production targets. When the geological and geotechnical data driving those plans is older than what's been excavated, the plan is working with stale assumptions.

Deswik is where those plans live. The question isn't whether the planning system is capable, it's how up to date the data imported is.

The manual gap today

Planning data arrives in Deswik

Planning data arrives in Deswik through a chain of manual steps. Geological boundaries are pulled from images, or a spreadsheet. Geotechnical classifications are re-entered from paper logs or tablet notes. The frequency of plan updates is bounded by how long transcription and file transfer takes, not by how fast conditions are changing underground.

The Workflow Stages

The connected workflow

STAGE 1 - CAPTURE - LITHOS

Capture

Location-based 3D scanning of underground conditions in less than five minutes. HD photo annotation. Offline-first. Accuracy in the 5-10 mm range.

STAGE 2 - STRUCTURE - STRATA

Structure

The dataset syncs to Strata where it's georeferenced, mapped, and organized. Every observation links back to the heading, date, and mapper, so when a needs to change later, the source is a click away.

Stage 3 - Export

Export to Deswik

Strata exports georeferenced and mapped textured meshes as OBJ with their MTL material files, and 3D annotations as CSV with full attributes. Early adopters have already set up Deswik process maps to pull structured datasets directly from Strata exports.

STAGE 4 - DESWIK SUITE

Plan in Deswik

Import the current dataset and plan against the actual state of the ground.

How Lithos and Strata improve Deswik

Lithos

Lithos, for underground 3D data capture

Underground. Offline-capable. Five-minute capture with 5-10 mm accuracy on sub-$2k iPad hardware. Mapping isn't a report written later, it's a 3D coloured dataset created in place.

Strata

Strata, the export pipeline

Strata is the structured project record where plan meets reality. Boundaries, classifications, and structural data are structured and exported to the formats Deswik expects, preserving textured meshes, mapped annotations and attributes.

What you get

Deswik-ready datasets

Georeferenced textured meshes (OBJ + MTL), 3D annotations with full attributes (CSV), structural orientation data, and lithological boundary datasets from capture to model. Meshes retain their textures. Coordinates stay intact. Annotation metadata comes through reliably.
