Russia Enhances IT Platform for Geological Data Collection
Rosgeologia and AGR Software have advanced their “AGR 4.0” digital platform through its penultimate development phase, aiming to streamline geological data capture and documentation across all mining operations
Integrating Quality Control and Core‑Log Management
Jointly developed by JSC Rosgeologia and AGR Software, AGR 4.0 now offers modular functionality for quality assurance, seamless integration with external information systems, and a fully electronic core‑storage module. By digitizing core logs and standardizing data input, the platform reduces manual errors and accelerates decision‑making for exploration teams. This unified approach ensures that geological surveys, from sampling in remote boreholes to lab analyses, feed into a single source of truth—eliminating data silos and improving overall project transparency.
Universal Application Across Mining Workings
Designed for versatility, AGR 4.0 adapts to all types of underground and surface mining operations. Whether mapping a new open pit or monitoring complex tunnel networks, the system manages vast geological datasets with ease. Built‑in integration tools let mining companies incorporate AGR 4.0 into their broader digital mine models—linking geology, planning, and production in real time. As a result, engineers can optimize extraction sequences, predict ore quality more accurately, and reduce costly downtime caused by unexpected ground conditions.
Delivering Socio‑Economic and Environmental Benefits
By elevating the efficiency of data collection and analysis, AGR 4.0 directly contributes to safer, more sustainable mining practices. Faster access to reliable geological information helps project managers minimize environmental impact by pinpointing mineralized zones and avoiding unnecessary disturbance. Local communities benefit from improved environmental stewardship and job creation tied to high‑value IT roles. Ultimately, Russia’s strengthened digital infrastructure in the mining sector promises to unlock its vast mineral resources more responsibly—supporting economic growth while safeguarding ecosystems.
