Orica has launched GEOExplorerIQ, a cloud-native platform designed to aggregate geotechnical monitoring data into a single environment. The system is currently available and runs on Microsoft Azure infrastructure.
Why it matters
Geotechnical teams often struggle with data silos across separate systems, complicating risk management. This platform acts as a unified source of truth to streamline monitoring and alert management.
The platform meets ISO 27001 standards for information security while operating within the ODS secure cloud-native ecosystem. It integrates surface, subsurface, and remote sensing data sources on Microsoft Azure.
The players
Orica
An industrial technology company focused on mining and infrastructure, now expanding its digital solutions stack.
The details
GEOExplorerIQ functions by centralizing disparate geotechnical workflows into one interface. It bridges the Orica Digital Solutions Geosolutions portfolio—including brands like GroundProbe, NavStar, Measurand, RST Instruments, Syscom Instruments, and 3vGeomatics—into a consolidated data view. The platform enables users to compare diverse monitoring datasets, visualize trends, and manage operational alerts within a unified framework.
Timeline

The Tech Race
This launch marks Orica's shift toward an integrated digital ecosystem, moving beyond isolated instrumentation hardware. It competes by folding diverse subsurface monitoring brands into a single cloud-native source of truth.
Geotechnical engineers and risk managers can now centralize monitoring data from multiple Orica and third-party sources. The platform is currently available for deployment across mining and infrastructure projects.
The takeaway
The move signals a transition toward standardized, cloud-based risk management in industrial geology. Watch for future updates regarding the depth of third-party system interoperability within the ODS ecosystem.
