Automation technology

Remote machine operation in control room

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.

Automated machine systems

People in control room
Maximize machine uptime with a scalable implementation plan. Working together, we can create a step-by-step plan, tailored for an automation mining solution and information management system that is based on your situation and optimization targets. Unlock production gains with interoperability. As part of our commitment to develop technology and innovation for the future, we have extended our interoperability platform with open and agnostic solutions for integrating equipment, processes and systems. Our APIs have pre-defined interfaces that allows your data to be collected and converted into actionable insights.

Customer stories

The Hollinger mine in Canada is where it all happens. This is an open pit gold mine located in downtown Timmins, a city with a population of 45 000 in the province of Ontario. This site is part of Newmont Goldcorp Porcupine’s operations in the area. Once the remaining gold has been recovered, this mine will be transformed into a public park. But for now, it is a gold mine in full operation and center stage for the latest innovation in surface drilling automation.

Barrick’s Hemlo Mine goes deep with teleremote and automation – teleremote autonomous mining is helping Barrick Gold Corporation reach a deeper section of its Hemlo mine in Canada.

Insight on underground trends

December 15, 2015

Tomorrow’s underground mines will be more remote with orebodies that are difficult to reach and consequently more dangerous to excavate.
