BRISBANE, Australia, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Datamine, a trusted leader in mining software solutions, is proud to announce a major evolution of MineScape 2026, one of its leading software solutions. MineScape 2026 brings Digital Twin capability, Rapid design automation, Advanced scheduling, and an AI-enabled assistant into one connected experience expanding the MineScape ecosystem beyond design into an execution-ready mine planning and simulation environment.
MineScape is an integrated mining suite purpose-built for coal and stratigraphic deposits. It combines geological modelling, mine design for both surface and underground operations, tactical and long-range scheduling, and drone surveying within a single platform. By unifying these workflows, it increases productivity, minimizes unplanned work, and enables faster, more accurate decision-making while lowering operational costs.
Digital Twin Operational Intelligence
The Digital Twin establishes a dynamic, continuously updated digital replica of the mining operation, integrating real-time operational data, planning models, and predictive scenarios into a unified decision environment.
By enabling simulation before execution, teams can test strategies, evaluate outcomes, and quantify risk before committing resources in the field. This capability allows operations to anticipate disruptions, optimize plans, and validate decisions in advance. The result is safer operations, improved productivity, reduced operational uncertainty, and stronger confidence in every decision that drives the mine.
AI now Integrated
AI is built directly into MineScape, and it enables natural language interaction and context-aware guidance during a session, allowing users to quickly access knowledge and verify answers through linked source material.
MineScape AI combines four capabilities: a Smart Chat Assistant, File Analyzer, Command Executor, and MPL Expert that can generate, interpret, and explain MineScape Process Logic (MPL) code. These tools accelerate problem solving, improve automation, and help users understand and apply workflows more effectively.
Built-in safeguards detect and block personally identifiable information (PII), and Datamine agreements ensure customer data is never used to train AI models.
Scheduling and Rapid Design
The Tactical Scheduler introduces a powerful optimization solver designed to address complex operational decision problems, while Minemax Scheduler integration enables advanced long-range scheduling directly within MineScape for seamless strategic planning.
On the design side, Rapid Pit, Rapid Ramps, Rapid Dumps, and Rapid Drive dramatically accelerate mine layout development through automated, high-efficiency design tools. These capabilities enable faster, more accurate planning while enforcing geotechnical and operational constraints—ensuring designs to flow directly into downstream scheduling and simulation workflows without rework.

MineScape 2026: Powered by Digital Twin and AI
NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaming peripheral brand ATTACK SHARK has announced the launch of the R86 HE Carbon Fiber Magnetic Switch Gaming Keyboard, a flagship model designed to elevate expectations for high-end competitive gaming keyboards. Scheduled for release on 7 September 2026, the R86 HE is among the few magnetic switch keyboards to combine a 75% layout with a carbon fiber composite top case, bringing together advanced materials, precision magnetic switch technology, refined acoustics, and extensive customization.
As magnetic switch technology becomes a key driver of innovation in the gaming peripheral market, user expectations have expanded beyond speed alone. Today's players are increasingly seeking a combination of performance, build quality, sound, and personalization. The R86 HE answers those demands with a carbon fiber composite structure, tournament-grade magnetic switch performance, and a Hi-Fi-inspired acoustic design, creating a new-generation 82-key gaming keyboard that balances competitive capability with everyday usability.
Carbon Fiber Construction Meets Practical 75% Layout
The R86 HE features a compact 82-key, 75% layout that retains dedicated arrow keys and essential functions while saving valuable desk space. Designed for both competitive gaming and everyday productivity, it delivers functionality without the bulk of larger keyboards.
Its premium design combines a carbon fiber composite top case with anodized CNC aluminum alloy side accents, creating a distinctive flagship look inspired by high-performance materials. The forged carbon texture offers exceptional rigidity and durability, while carbon fiber composite keycaps provide a crisp, consistent typing feel suited to fast-paced gaming.
0.005mm Rapid Trigger Accuracy for Competitive Play
In competitive FPS titles, a perfectly timed counter-strafe can be the difference between landing a decisive shot and missing a critical opportunity. The R86 HE's 0.005mm Rapid Trigger Accuracy enables extremely precise key reset and actuation control, helping players transition seamlessly between movement and aiming. Combined with a custom esports chipset featuring 256K scanning and an 8000Hz polling rate, the keyboard achieves response times as low as 0.08ms, delivering the speed and consistency needed for fast-paced competitive gameplay.
Hi-Fi Acoustics for a Refined Typing Experience
Magnetic switch keyboards are often defined by speed, but the R86 HE goes beyond raw performance. A five-layer sound-dampening structure, comprising PE foam, IXPE switch pads, PET acoustic film, switch socket foam, and bottom silicone padding, helps reduce unwanted resonance for a cleaner, more refined typing sound. A premium fiberglass positioning plate enhances stability and feedback, while custom Huano Glass Jade magnetic switches balance ultra-fast responsiveness with a crisp, satisfying acoustic profile.
Built for Personalization
The R86 HE supports multiple high-performance magnetic switches and independent curve tuning, enabling personalized actuation settings for different gaming styles.
Full-key RGB lighting and dual-side dynamic light strips add visual impact, while web-based and PC software provide convenient access to key mapping, switch adjustments, and other customization options.
More than a high-performance gaming keyboard, the ATTACK SHARK R86 HE represents a fusion of advanced materials, acoustic engineering, and competitive-grade technology. By combining a unique 75% layout, carbon fiber flagship design, Hi-Fi acoustics, and 0.005mm Rapid Trigger Accuracy, it introduces a distinctive new option for users seeking both elite performance and premium craftsmanship.
