EOS Data Analytics Joins The Goldeneye Project
The European Commission has contracted with EOS Data Analytics, a satellite analytics company founded by Max Polyakov, to develop technologies for the monitoring and analysis of mining sites across Europe. The three-year HORIZON 2020 project, called Goldeneye, has a total budget of €8.3 million.
The project will develop solutions that improve safety, environmental impact, and profitability of mines by creating a platform that combines Earth observation technologies with on-site sensing.
With Goldeneye, we are not solving just one problem. Our goal is to bring together different technologies in a platform that can offer innovative solutions to both businesses and governments and have a positive effect on the mining industry as a whole.
The Goldeneye project will target five mining sites across Europe: Pyhäsalmi mine in Finland, Trepča Mine Complex in Kosovo, Erzgebirge district in Germany, Panagyurishte district in Bulgaria, and the Roşia Poieni district in Romania.
Under the terms of the Goldeneye program, EOS Data Analytics will provide satellite data processing.
We are delighted to have a synergistic partnership with the European Commission and are confident that the resulting analysis will be another technological step towards the conservation and optimization of natural resources
The project is being coordinated by the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and the consortium consists of 16 European companies and research partners. The consortium is working together in platform development and in bringing together the work of sensing experts, solution providers, and European mines.
