Automation technology
Increase accuracy and mining safety with automated machine functions. We have customized certain products by automating functions such as adding drill rods or changing drill bits – both in mining and construction. Features such as automatic leveling and drill stop protection are also integrated to maintain precision and safety.
A new relationship between operator and machine with teleremote control. Platforms like our Rig Control System (RCS) enable machines to be operated remotely with a control panel that monitors local sensors and cameras. The operator can be located away from hazardous areas in the safety and comfort of a control room. This is a great benefit gained from autonomous mining systems.
Machine automation
Connectivity and mining automation to increase equipment productivity. We can now enable the integration of smart connected machines, programmed to complete for example, a precise drilling sequence. Machine sensors will alert the control room if there is an obstacle or the intervention of an operator is required. Without the normal constraints of staff schedules, this allows for extended machine uptime, reducing the wear and tear associated with a manual operation.
Turn data into decision-making insights. Data is at the heart of an efficient operation, which is why we offer a variety of mining management software options to collect and analyze operational data. For example, we have a telematics solution that gathers, compares and shares equipment data to help you target improvement areas. Our real-time situational awareness software tracks everything from equipment to employees, whether you are locating the nearest pump to refuel a machine or to verify that all personnel have reached a designated safety area in an emergency.

Das Bergwerk Hollinger in Kanada ist der Ort, an dem alles passiert. Es handelt sich hierbei um ein Tagebau-Goldbergwerk im Stadtzentrum von Timmins, einer Stadt mit 45.000 Einwohnern in der Provinz Ontario. Dieser Standort ist Teil des Betriebs von Newmont Goldcorp Porcupine in diesem Bereich. Sobald das verbleibende Gold gewonnen wurde, wird dieses Bergwerk in einen öffentlichen Park umgewandelt. Im Moment ist es jedoch noch eine Goldbergwerk in vollem Betrieb und steht im Mittelpunkt der neuesten Innovation in der Automatisierung des Oberflächenbohrens.
