Use Cases

MTi Group

When MTi Group needed to validate their remote operations technology at scale, they needed more than a lab. They needed the real thing. At the AARP, they found it.

With access to open test beds with pre-drilled holes, MTi Group was able to test their autonomous technology on real-world terrain – in conditions that matched the environments they will actually be deploying in.

The AARP is proud to be the only facility globally that has permission to drill up to 80m deep across the entire site, without the need for further paperwork and permits.

For over 30 years, MTi Group has been a market-leading brand in the drill and blast sector. Working with shotfirers, blast engineers, and explosives experts worldwide, their solutions are designed to optimise blasting outcomes for all mining operations. The AARP exists to turn promising technology into proven technology. That’s the whole point.

The AARP testing facilities provide real-world conditions to support MTi Groups’ promise of performance and global reputation for quality, safety and innovation.
