Keep people safe

Reduce accident risk by detecting and preventing collisions between heavy equipment and personnel.

Comply with CAS regulation

Avoid fines and legal liabilities related to non-compliance with industry safety regulations

Improve productivity

Minimize downtime caused by equipment collisions or near-collisions, improving overall productivity.

One system for all equipment brands

Choose the systems you trust without ignoring your current reality or limiting your future options

Levels of collision prevention

Recent years have seen significant progress in establishing standards for proximity detection systems. With clear user requirements in place, clients can now easily select a system that suits their needs. These requirements define three levels of control:
  • Level 7: Operator awareness - Alerts the operator (warning system)

  • Level 8: Advisory controls - Advises the operator (advisory system)

  • Level 9: Intervention controls - Takes control from the operator (collision avoidance system)

Collision avoidance systems, or Level 9 systems, intervene with a vehicle by slowing it down or stopping it to prevent or minimize collisions with pedestrians or objects equipped with sensors. This proactive approach enhances safety on worksites.

What is EMESRT?

EMESRT plays a crucial role in improving safety standards in the mining industry by facilitating collaboration among stakeholders and driving initiatives to enhance vehicle interaction controls. As a facilitator, EMESRT brings together mining companies, OEMs, third-party PDS providers, and other stakeholders to develop industry-wide standards, protocols, and best practices for collision avoidance systems (CAS) and proximity detection systems (PDS).

 

Epiroc, as a CAS vendor, is involved in EMESRT's initiatives by actively participating in collaborative efforts to improve vehicle interaction controls. Epiroc contributes its expertise, technology, and insights to help develop and refine industry standards and protocols. This involvement ensures that Epiroc's CAS solutions align with industry requirements and standards set forth by EMESRT.

 

Additionally, Epiroc may also contribute to EMESRT's projects and initiatives by providing data, case studies, and practical insights from its own experience in implementing CAS solutions in mining operations. This collaboration allows Epiroc to stay at the forefront of industry developments, ensuring that its CAS solutions remain effective, efficient, and aligned with industry best practices.
