Key functions of CAS include monitoring the positions of workers and equipment, providing alerts to operators and pedestrians when they are in close proximity, and automatically limiting machine motion in severe cases. However, these systems can be prone to producing false alarms, technically referred to as false positives.
A Collision Avoidance System (CAS) is a critical tool for creating a safer working environment in mining operations. Here's a quick guide to integrating a CAS at your mine, with key considerations for each step of the way.
Miners have a wide variety of tag and tracking technologies to choose from, each with its own requirements and benefits. In this article, we cover the types of tags used in underground mining, their related radio network requirements, some pros and cons of each technology, and new developments on the horizon.
How can miners build a telecommunications network that will work today and tomorrow? Nigel Slater, Director of Business Development at Epiroc (3D-P), shares practical strategies that will help miners design a network that will support long-term plans for digitalization and automation.
Ready to make a change at your mining business? In mining, transformation can’t just be managed, it must be engineered. In this post we share some no-nonsense strategies for engineering a strategic vision for change management that delivers business value over the long term.
Successful mining automation requires a combination of technological readiness, adaptability, and an understanding of where automation will create the maximum benefit. Here are four critical points to consider as you map out your mine automation journey.
How can miners build a future-proof network solution that’s ready for digitalization and automation? In this post, we answer some common questions about the differences between LTE and 5G networks and share how to get the most bang for your buck.
Implementing digitalization in mining is no easy task. Like any continual improvement process, it requires strategy, structure, and measurement. With a Lean Six Sigma approach, you can see what is working, what is failing, and how you can improve going forward. In this post, we apply the Lean DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) improvement cycle as a framework to approach digitalization in mining.
A breath of fresh air
Epiroc’s revolutionary Ventilation on Demand technology is a game-changer in the mining industry. It significantly reduces energy consumption at the Borden gold mine in Canada by providing clean air precisely when needed.
Trust the data
Integrated planning delivers predictable outcomes. By integrating data and plans from different divisions and across planning horizons in a constantly updated operational plan, Sibanye-Stillwater creates a stable and productive environment.
