Environmental intelligence for mining

Mission Control for sustainable, safe, and responsible mining

Manage your environmental footprint, identify risks early, and improve safety with Picterra’s autonomous GeoAI analytics to give you full control at scale.

Mining faces a dual challenge: achieving growth while safeguarding the environment and communities. The challenge is clear: how can mining balance performance with responsibility?

Regulators, investors, and communities demand transparency on land use, the impact of operations on surrounding nature and biodiversity, and the creation of safe working environments. Traditional monitoring is fragmented, costly, and slow, with siloed data and blind spots that make it hard to see the full picture.

Continuous insight. Precise control.
Scalable impact.

Focus where it matters most

Transform complex geospatial data into clear, real-time insights that cut through noise and uncertainty.

Stay ahead of risk

Proactively address environmental impacts and operational hazards throughout every stage of the mine lifecycle.

Prove responsibility with evidence

Demonstrate compliance, enhance ESG reporting, and build trust with regulators, investors, and communities.

Mission Control for environmental intelligence in mining

Picterra integrates advanced GeoAI and automation with satellite and aerial imagery to give mining companies continuous, high-resolution oversight and ongoing visibility into their sites and surrounding areas. With Picterra, you can monitor environments, identify hidden risks, and respond to significant changes across crucial zones.

An aerial satellite view, processed with the Picterra geospatial platform, of a rocky, arid mining landscape is presented. A central area features a cluster of bright green polygons, each about 0.01 hectares, connected by green line segments. In the upper left-hand corner, an "Images & Results" panel displays a list of layers, including a checked "Image" layer and a checked "class0" layer with 42 results, along with options for "Shapes," "Markers," and "Show images footprints and names." A large open-pit mine is visible on the left side, and a "More about Picterra" button is situated in the upper right-hand corner.

Environmental impact management

Understand and reduce the impact of your operations. By monitoring land use change, water resources, and biodiversity, Picterra helps ensure mine development and closure leave behind healthier ecosystems, along with verifiable evidence of successful rehabilitation.

Environmental risk management and safety

Protect people, infrastructure, and assets through automated, systematic detection of safety hazards. Picterra monitors water bodies, haul roads, and other logistic infrastructure while identifying cracks, slope instabilities, and ground-related risks. Early-warning insights help reduce accidents, enhance resilience, and lower costs for managing geotechnical hazards throughout the mine’s lifecycle.

This image showcases the Picterra detector training interface applied to an industrial or mining site. Within a red dashed annotation area, several bright green polygons highlight identified "Waterbodies" across the excavated terrain. The top dashboard indicates the AI model's performance, showing a training accuracy of 87.54% as of November 2022. The interface includes tools for training the detector, viewing reports, and managing annotation classes, demonstrating how machine learning is used to automate the monitoring of environmental features in complex industrial landscapes.
This image displays the Picterra platform's change detection interface monitoring a mining site. A vertical slider splits the satellite view, allowing for a direct side-by-side comparison of the landscape between two different dates. The dashboard below includes a "Count" graph and a timeline showing a comparison between July 2020 and August 2021. With the "Class Selection" set to deforestation, the tool illustrates how geospatial AI can be used to track environmental impact and land-clearing activities over time in industrial zones.

ESG, sustainability, and social governance

Show responsibility and meet increasing stakeholder expectations. Picterra provides transparent reporting aligned with ESG standards, helping you demonstrate reduced impact, stay compliant, and build trust with regulators, investors, and local communities.
