Aerospace Concepts provides development framework for revolutionary mining assay capability

Heliocentric Technologies, Inc of Ottawa, Canada has adopted the engineering management systems provided by Aerospace Concepts Pty Ltd to guide the systems engineering and project management for the development of Heliocentric’s On-site Analyzer, a revolutionary system for base metal ore grading that uses nuclear technology to provide almost instantaneous assay without any sample preparation. The On-Site Analyzer is expected to make a significant impact on advanced exploration and mining operations Worldwide.

Aerospace Concepts’ engineering management systems will ensure that the overall design provides a robust capability that can successfully operate from austere mining sites all over the World. This includes a software development framework to satisfy stringent mining industry quality control certification and ensuring the overall system design will meet international nuclear safety standards.

This work builds upon our already-demonstrated capability (refer below) to develop leading-edge, complex and software-intensive systems where human safety is paramount but within a cost-constrained environment.
