Smarter Data Management: The Automation Advantage of DataShed5
DataShed5 streamlines internal processes within your MDS database, automating tasks to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and adherence to business rules.
At maxgeo, the automation advantage is at the heart of what we do, and we often focus on how it transforms data integration. Whether it’s loading files from email, file locations, APIs, or web endpoints, the automation advantage of DataShed5 connects, processes, and imports data seamlessly — saving you time and effort.
But automation doesn’t stop at external integrations. DataShed5 also streamlines internal processes within your MDS database, automating tasks to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and adherence to business rules. This reduces reliance on manual input, eliminates errors, and allows for audits, updates, and custom schedules to meet your needs. Let’s dive into how this works with some key examples.
Streamlining Processes with Automation
Coordinate Transformations: Automatically transform coordinates when new records are added to coordinate fields. The AutoGrid system applies transformations based on grid systems and datasets, ensuring consistency and accuracy across all coordinate sets.
Merged Tables: Simplify the challenge of combining data from separate tables like lithology, minerals, or alteration. The Merge Tables tool automatically aligns intervals, providing a unified view that updates as you log data.
Survey Deviation Checking: Audit survey deviations with a tool that flags untested records and evaluates dips and azimuths against tolerances. Results are automatically updated in the database, and any failures are flagged for user attention via email notifications.
Intercept Calculation: Pre-configured intercept packages calculate significant assay intervals based on your parameters—cutoff grades, waste intervals, and more. These calculations run on a schedule, saving time and delivering results directly into DataShed5.
Desurveying: Generate X, Y, and Z coordinates automatically for downhole tables using collar and survey data. Configurations are scheduled in the MDS, keeping data updated without manual intervention.
Subscriptions: Automate report delivery with email or download subscriptions. Set up reports, layouts, or tables to be sent regularly to specific users or folders, ensuring everyone has the information they need when they need it.
Auditing: Run validation checks on data, schema, configurations, or user-related issues automatically. Audit results are delivered via email, highlighting incomplete or missing data, delayed sample returns, and more — keeping you on top of database health.
Automation in Action
These tools are just a glimpse of how the automation advantages of DataShed5 can revolutionize your workflows. From reducing manual effort to ensuring data integrity, automation helps you operate more efficiently while focusing on what matters most.
