The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Maptek I-Site the workflow depends on buying Maptek laser scanner hardware, sold as the NS4, XR3, XR3-D and UR3 models; MineRP minerp.com 301 redirects to epiroc.com's mine planning product line, confirming MineRP was absorbed into Epiroc; the product is no longer sold as an independently branded platform and buyers must now evaluate it inside Epiroc's mining portfolio.
  • They diverge on capability: Maptek I-Site covers Point cloud processing, MineRP covers Resource planning.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Maptek I-Site

  • The workflow depends on buying Maptek laser scanner hardware, sold as the NS4, XR3, XR3-D and UR3 models
  • Scanner range is fixed per model, at 1,000 m for the NS4, 2,800 m for the XR3, 1,200 m for the XR3-D and 3,500 m for the UR3, so range upgrades mean buying different hardware
  • No price, licence type or subscription term is published; the page offers only a spec sheet request and a contact form

MineRP

  • minerp.com 301 redirects to epiroc.com's mine planning product line, confirming MineRP was absorbed into Epiroc; the product is no longer sold as an independently branded platform and buyers must now evaluate it inside Epiroc's mining portfolio.
