NimbVault Mine Data Management Software
Stop Managing Mine Scans Like Files in Folders.
NimbVault is SafeSight's secure cloud-based environment for organizing, viewing and managing underground spatial data across mine sites, levels, areas, drifts and time periods.
A mine does not need another folder full of point clouds.It needs a spatial record everyone can find, understand and use.

02 Operating context / data challenge
The Mine Has a Structure. Why Doesn't the Data?
Underground spatial information can become scattered across:
- local drives;
- project folders;
- individual computers;
- contractor transfers;
- email attachments;
- file-sharing systems;
- multiple versions of the same scan.
Months later, the challenge may not be collecting another scan. The challenge is knowing: Which dataset is current? Where is the previous scan? Who captured it? What area does it represent? Which version should engineering use?
MORE MINE DATA IS NOT USEFUL
IF NOBODY CAN FIND THE RIGHT VERSION.

03 Workflow / data organization
Organize Data the Way the Mine Is Organized.
HIERARCHY PATHNimbVault structures underground spatial information according to physical mine hierarchy rather than generic computer folders. Users can move through the mine logically and locate the spatial records associated with the area they are working on.
DATA STRUCTURE / SYSTEM VIEWThe path to contextual dataLogical mine structure
Level
Vertical or horizontal sub-division.
Area
Specific operational zones.
Drift
Specific underground headings.
Scan / Date
Version-controlled spatial record.
04 Technology / management tools
Every New Scan Should Strengthen the Mine's History.
CENTRALIZATION
One Shared View of the Mine.
Give survey, engineering, planning, operations, and management a shared spatial reference rather than creating another copy of the same dataset for every department.
CONTEXT
Cloud Storage Holds Files. Mine Data Management Adds Context.
NimbVault should not be positioned as another generic file-storage service. Its value comes from combining mine hierarchy, spatial visualization, measurement, permissions, metadata, and versioning.
VERSION HISTORY
From One-Time Scan to Time-Series Mine Intelligence
Once spatial data is organized consistently, repeat capture becomes more valuable. Retain previous datasets alongside newer information to support development history, stope progression, and historical engineering reference.
ACCESS
Give People Access to the Mine Data They Need.
Built around role-based access and multi-factor authentication with secure cloud architecture rather than simply sharing raw files.
MULTI-SITE VIEW
One Spatial Data Environment Across Multiple Mine Sites.
Centralized technical teams can review spatial assets across operations while site-level teams work with their own levels, areas, and drifts.
05 Visual access / browser tools
Open the Mine Point Cloud in the Browser.
Measure Mine Geometry Where the Data Lives.
NimbVault includes a browser-optimized high-density point-cloud viewer so authorized users can inspect 3D mine data without requiring every stakeholder to install specialist desktop software.
Within the browser environment users can:
- rotate and zoom;
- inspect specific areas;
- navigate through headings;
- measure width, height, and clearance.
Measure mine geometry where the data lives. This provides immediate context for engineering and planning teams but does not replace certified survey workflows.
06 Field applications / stakeholders
Build a Searchable 3D Record Across the Underground Mine.
APPLICATION
Drift History
Store and organize repeat drift scans.
APPLICATION
Stope Data
Keep processed cavity geometry connected to the correct area and time period.
APPLICATION
Shaft Data
Build a long-term spatial record of shaft measurements and scans.
APPLICATION
Infrastructure
Organize mine asset and spatial records according to location.
Mine Data for More Than the Survey Department.
STAKEHOLDER
Survey + Engineering
Locate scans, review geometry and access processed underground data without waiting for manual file transfers.
STAKEHOLDER
Planning + Geology
Reference current and historical spatial information alongside mine planning and technical analysis workflows.
STAKEHOLDER
Operations + Management
Review spatial context and gain visibility across approved mine sites without requiring specialist desktop software.
07 Data handover / software integration
Manage Centrally. Export When the Technical Workflow Needs It.
The current specification supports exporting spatial data when your downstream engineering tools require it. Supported Exports: LAS, LAZ, PLY, CSV.
From the Rock Face to the Mine Record.
The Control App begins the digital workflow at capture. NimbVault completes the information lifecycle by giving the resulting mine data a structured, accessible historical home.
Processed in Eclipsed. Organized in NimbVault.
Eclipsed prepares the underground point cloud. NimbVault gives that processed dataset a permanent location inside the mine's digital hierarchy.
- Eclipsed: Change / prepare the data
- NimbVault: Organize / visualize / retain the data

Mine Data Management Software FAQs
01Explore Mine Data Management
What Is Mine Data Management Software?
Mine data management software organizes technical information so it can be located, governed and reused throughout mining operations.
For spatial mine data, this can include: LiDAR point clouds; 3D geometry; mine locations; scan dates; versions; metadata; measurements; and access permissions.
The purpose is not simply storing more files. It is maintaining enough structure and context that the correct information can be found and understood later.
Why Does Mine Spatial Data Need Version Control?
Underground mines change continuously. Development advances, stopes are mined, infrastructure changes and new scans replace old representations.
Without clear version history, different teams can unintentionally work from different spatial datasets. Version-controlled mine data creates a traceable record of what was captured and when.
Why Use Browser-Based Mine Data Visualization?
Specialist desktop point-cloud tools remain important for technical processing. But not every person who needs to understand mine geometry needs to perform advanced point-cloud processing. Browser visualization allows authorized stakeholders to review 3D information without requiring every user to maintain the same specialist software environment.
Mine Data Management vs Point Cloud Processing
Point-cloud processing changes or prepares the spatial dataset. Mine data management organizes that information after processing.
Within SafeSight: Eclipsed = PROCESS, NimbVault = MANAGE.
A connected digital spatial record builds a comprehensive 3D mine record or mine digital twin over time.
02What is NimbVault?
NimbVault is SafeSight's secure cloud-based mine data management software for organizing, visualizing and retaining underground spatial information.
03How is NimbVault organized?
Current specifications organize data through a hierarchy including Mine → Level → Area → Drift.
04Can NimbVault display point clouds in a browser?
Yes. Current specifications include a browser-optimized point-cloud viewer.
05Can measurements be taken in NimbVault?
Current specifications include browser measurement tools for supported dimensions including width, height and clearance.
06Does NimbVault track scan history?
Current product documentation includes automated versioning and time-series records. Specific metadata availability depends on the current production configuration.
07Does NimbVault replace Eclipsed?
No. Eclipsed processes mine point-cloud data. NimbVault organizes, visualizes and manages the resulting datasets.
08Is NimbVault the SafeSight Client Portal?
No. NimbVault is SafeSight's spatial mine-data management software. The separate SafeSight customer portal serves a different customer-account workflow and is not part of NimbVault.
09Can multiple mine sites use NimbVault?
Current SafeSight product documentation describes multi-site management for centralized and site-level technical teams. Availability should be confirmed for the intended deployment.
10What security controls does NimbVault use?
Current specifications include secure cloud deployment, multi-factor authentication and role-based permissions. Security capabilities should be reviewed against the intended deployment requirements.

How Is Your Mine Managing Years of 3D Scan Data?
If point clouds are currently stored across individual computers, project folders and disconnected file systems, the issue is no longer only data capture. It is finding the right information when someone needs it.
