Modular Mining launches public application programming interface
Modular Mining announced on Wednesday it has launched its Modular Mining Public Application Programming Interface (API).
The API is designed for integration and increased openness among third-party technologies and Modular Mining’s IntelliMine portfolio, including the DISPATCH fleet management and ProVision machine guidance systems.
Through the Public API infrastructure, bi-directional data sharing is possible among the DISPATCH and ProVision systems and third-party programs, helping to increase productivity and operational efficiency to mines, the company said in a media statement.
The API provides the Modular Mining mine management ecosystem with access to previously unavailable information
The release of up- and down-stream third-party integration characterizes Modular Mining’s first step towards mine-wide optimization.
The API provides the Modular Mining mine management ecosystem with access to previously unavailable information, to supplement existing decision-making algorithms, automate tasks, and avoid duplication among systems.
The API provides write access to various entry points including location status, road state, and crusher telemetry, the company said.
“As industry needs have evolved, we’ve come to understand that integration is increasingly more important,” said Lourens du Plessis, VP, customer value. “The Public API allows us to collaborate with other technology providers to deliver enhanced value to the industry.”
