The HELMS – The future of Automated, Hands-Free Logging
Mining companies are under increasing pressure to improve productivity, reduce operating costs, and meet evolving ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) commitments. As the industry embraces electrification, automation, and safer work practices, the demand for innovative technologies that minimise environmental impact while supporting zero-harm outcomes has never been greater.
The HELMS™ (Hands-Free Electric Logging Multi-Tool System) represents a breakthrough in drillhole logging technology, delivering a step change in automation, safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
Designed as the next generation of automated logging systems, HELMS combines advanced remote sensing technology with high-precision automated controls to deploy and retrieve multiple downhole tools without manual handling. From packing and unpacking through to cable management and tool deployment, every stage of the process is fully automated, significantly reducing operational risk while maximising productivity.
The system’s automated cable head changeovers and deployment capabilities eliminate many of the manual tasks traditionally associated with drillhole logging, setting a new benchmark for workplace safety.
The HELMS provides clients with immediate access to field data through a live data feed and intuitive client dashboard. Users can monitor operations in near real time, access detailed hole data, and review performance metrics through customisable reporting tools, enabling faster, more informed decision-making.
