Steinexpo 2026 in Nieder-Ofleiden:

geo-konzept presents new products at leading mining trade fair!

Demands on the modern mining and quarrying industries are rising rapidly: maximum efficiency, uncompromising safety, and sustainable processes are taking center stage more than ever. As a long-standing partner to the sector, we are once again demonstrating at this year’s steinexpo how tailored high-tech solutions can revolutionize day-to-day operations. For years, geo-konzept has been a key player in state-of-the-art sensor technology, GPS systems, and software-based optimization.

As Europe’s largest demonstration trade fair, steinexpo provides the ideal platform to showcase this expertise in a live operational setting. We are using this opportunity to offer industry professionals an exclusive look at our current product pipeline.

Alongside proven systems, three innovations taking mining efficiency and digitalization to the next level are taking center stage this year—ranging from a smart software enhancement to robust, next-generation hardware:

At the heart of this lineup is the new QuarryManager Pro software solution, which is already proving its worth in practical applications. It serves as a modular extension to the long-established QuarryManager software. While retaining all classic functions—such as digital mine mapping, extraction planning, and residual mass calculation—QuarryManager Pro adds powerful tools for loading and processing block models and analyzing exploration drillings.

A key highlight is our first in-house developed borehole probe. This system for precisely capturing drilling angles and trajectories has been completely redesigned: equipped with a digital magnetic compass and a state-of-the-art inclinometer, it offers robust, energy-efficient operation and delivers absolutely precise measurement results. The Bluetooth module is another major asset, enabling fully wireless data transmission to the data logger so that users no longer need to rely on devices with legacy RS232 ports.

Another highlight offers an exclusive glimpse into the future of digital rock face surveying: our first proprietary 3D laser scanner is currently in the final stages of development and will be available starting late this year. We have successfully significantly increased the scanning range—while maintaining our signature high precision and achieving even faster scanning speeds. Thanks to the close proximity of our development and manufacturing teams, we can respond extremely quickly whenever service is required.

Our mining and quarrying experts look forward to engaging in many interesting conversations with you at steinexpo 2026. You can find us at booth D27, right behind the entrance area.

Precision made in Adelschlag:

geo-konzept presents its first proprietary borehole probe!

To effectively prevent dangerous flyrock and blasting errors in quarries, the precise recording of drilling angles and trajectories is essential in modern mining. geo-konzept is now unveiling a first for this safety-critical quality control process: the company is launching its own borehole probe, developed entirely in-house and manufactured at its headquarters in Adelschlag.

By handling production locally and working closely with regional suppliers, geo-konzept guarantees not only top-tier quality—”Made in Bavaria”—but also drastically shorter delivery times. A key advantage becomes apparent when service is required: all spare parts are kept permanently in stock, minimizing costly operational downtime.

“Since we handle production in-house, we can shorten delivery times and respond with extreme flexibility when service is required,” explains Christian Rammelmeier, a specialist at geo-konzept and co-developer of the borehole probe. Even specialized repairs—such as re-potting a connector housing following a cable break—are carried out directly in Adelschlag, eliminating the need for a costly full cable replacement.

From a technical standpoint, the borehole probe is designed for maximum efficiency in rugged terrain. A Bluetooth module integrated into the “Powerbox” enables fully wireless data transmission to the data logger, doing away with the old reliance on conventional, error-prone RS232 connections. Combined with the company’s proprietary QuarryX blast design software, the system provides the perfect digital interface for cost-effective and safe blasting operations.

Optimizing blast design:
QuarryX workshops 2026 start in January.

In addition to hardware and software solutions, the outstanding expertise of our specialists, who have practical experience and know their fields inside and out, is one of our greatest strengths. This is reflected not only in our consulting, sales, and installation services, but also in our regular workshops.

One of our most popular – and longest-running – event series is starting again soon: the QuarryX Workshops. This series of blast design workshops takes place annually in January and February and offers events in both German and English, where our experts present innovations and improvements, showcase field-tested systems for even more efficient results, and help quarry employees optimize workflows and fully utilize our software solutions.

What new features and improvements are there – which field-tested systems lead to even more efficient results? The workshops help quarry workers optimize their workflows and fully utilize our software solutions. The main focus is our award-winning blast design software, QuarryX, but we also cover other workshop content such as QuarryPocket, BlastManager, QuarryDetonator, VolumeX, QuarryManager, QuarryX Connect, and our 3D borehole navigation system, RiGuide. The workshop fee is €537 (net price), including full catering.

A few places are still available –  find all informations and the online registration here.

End of Windows 10 Supports:
Upgrade your Mesa 3 now and stay safe!

Juniper Systems’ rugged tablets are known for their robustness and reliability. However, for Mesa 3 devices, there is now a need to update the operating system, and our geo-konzept experts are happy to assist you:

Some Mesa 3 devices are running Windows 10 Pro, for which Microsoft will soon be ending support. These operating systems will no longer receive updates after mid-October. To ensure continued secure and reliable operation of your Mesa, you should update the operating system to Windows IoT or upgrade to the successor model, Mesa 4.

OPTION 1: Operating system update (another 7 years of support)

Are you so satisfied with your Mesa 3 that you want to continue using it and only update the operating system?
This is the most cost-effective option and requires you to send the device to us. Our technicians and experts will update the operating system to Windows IoT, reinstall your Mesa 3, and you will receive the device back within a few weeks. This update service costs €797 net.

Is your Mesa 3 already running Windows IoT?
Excellent! Then you don’t need to do anything further and can use your device without worry until 2032. You can see which Windows version your Mesa is using under Settings -> System -> About.

OPTION 2: Switch to the new Mesa 4

Want to take advantage of the upgrade and not only have the latest operating system but also more features and better device performance?

Then upgrading to the successor model, Mesa 4, is worthwhile. It boasts up to three times faster CPU performance: With a processor speed of 3.7 GHz and up to 16 GB of RAM, Mesa 4 enables seamless task execution, demanding applications, and minimized energy consumption. Despite these performance improvements, it achieves longer battery life compared to Mesa 3 in the same tests. The implementation of an NVMe PCIe SSD delivers six times faster read and write speeds. Perfect for launching programs quickly, saving large amounts of data in seconds, and ensuring short boot times.

The Mesa 4’s redesigned touchscreen sets new standards: Even in rain or with a wet display, operation remains precise and comfortable – a clear advantage over previous models. Another highlight: The Mesa 4 is now equipped with a USB-C port. This means not only lightning-fast data transfer but also a convenient charging function – perfect for use on the go.

Upgrade or switch – we are here to help!

Whether you want to keep your current Mesa 3 and update its operating system, or decide to upgrade to the successor model – we are happy to provide you with advice and expertise at any time. Please feel free to contact our Mesa representative, Christian Rammelmeier, at +49 8424 89 89 76 or by email at crammelmeier@geo-konzept.de.
