## 🔧 Technical Details

### API Endpoints Used:
- `GET /api/mining-areas` - Fetch all areas
- `POST /api/mining-areas` - Create new area
- `PUT /api/mining-areas/:id` - Update area status
- `DELETE /api/mining-areas/:id` - Delete area

### State Management:
- Local state for areas list
- Local state for form data
- Local state for filters
- Local state for selected area (3D)
- Real-time polling (5 second intervals)

### Conflict Detection Algorithm:
```javascript
// Checks if two 3D boxes overlap
const checkOverlap = (area1, area2) => {
  const overlapX = Math.max(
    Math.min(area1.endX, area2.endX) - Math.max(area1.startX, area2.startX) + 1,
    0
  );
  const overlapY = Math.max(
    Math.min(area1.endY, area2.endY) - Math.max(area1.startY, area2.startY) + 1,
    0
  );
  const overlapZ = Math.max(
    Math.min(area1.endZ, area2.endZ) - Math.max(area1.startZ, area2.startZ) + 1,
    0
  );
  return overlapX > 0 && overlapY > 0 && overlapZ > 0;
};
```

### Volume Calculation:
```javascript
const calculateVolume = (area) => {
  const width = Math.abs(area.endX - area.startX) + 1;
  const height = Math.abs(area.endY - area.startY) + 1;
  const depth = Math.abs(area.endZ - area.startZ) + 1;
  return width * height * depth;
};
```
