Epiroc improves Mobilaris Tunneling Intelligence

2022年10月24日

Mobilaris Tunneling Intelligence integrates planning data, work progress data, and asset- and person-tracking into one decision support system for tunnel sites. With the latest upgrade, it is now easier than ever to achieve higher positioning accuracy without having to expand the network’s infrastructure. 

Every tunneling project is unique and consists of equipment from various vendors and generations. Mobilaris Tunneling Intelligence is a technology-agnostic decision support system that sets a new standard for tunneling by integrating data from different technologies into one system.

 

This technology-agnostic decision support system is already proven to help customers both save time spent planning and improve the accuracy of those plans – meaning improved productivity. Now, operators are given increased flexibility and can communicate as well as report in real-time. 

"Offering the Mobilaris Tunneling Intelligence suite as SaaS (Software as a Service), as well as the easiness of adding BLE beacons for position accuracy, will help tunnel contractors speed up the journey to digitalization and automation in tunneling."

“Offering the Mobilaris Tunneling Intelligence suite as SaaS (Software as a Service), as well as the easiness of adding BLE beacons for position accuracy, will help tunnel contractors speed up the journey to digitalization and automation in tunneling,” shares Andreas Karvonen, Product Manager at Epiroc. “With more flexible and affordable ways to connect assets, tunnel owners have a faster path to gain the value of digitalization in the form of increased efficiency, safety, and sustainability.”

New tag improves safety through reliable connectivity

The new Mobilaris Companion tag can be used to pinpoint the position of people, vehicles, and moving assets. In the tunnel, positioning is based on low-energy Bluetooth (BLE) connected to 5G, Wi-Fi or LTE networks, and outdoors via GPS. Every tag is connected to the system for visualization and support. With the compatibility to 5G and Ultra-Wide Band, everything is faster and more precise than ever.

Cost-efficient Bluetooth beacons lower thresholds for tracking

Bluetooth beacons placed in the tunnel act as reference points to provide positioning data to the tags. In comparison to expanding the existing network infrastructure, BLE beacons are a cost-efficient solution and easy to install needing no power or connection. The low energy consumption of beacons also supports cost savings and an overall smaller carbon footprint.

Greater awareness caters to increased safety and efficiency
