"CAP exemplifies our vision of an interoperable control room, allowing Pit Viper and SmartROC drills to be controlled by a single platform. Our customers need solutions that grow with them and adapt to their needs—CAP delivers by seamlessly connecting larger, mixed fleets with ease"
Key benefits of CAP include:
· Enhanced control room layout, enabling greater operator efficiency and reduced variability.
· Lower costs for maintenance, training, and spare parts through a single panel for mixed fleets.
· A new safety system, which allows more machines to connect to a single control room, improving situational awareness and optimizing fleet operations.
The Common Automation Panel helps lower the total cost of ownership and supports consistent, predictable operation, which contributes to decarbonization efforts and improved operator health and wellbeing.
With rising demands for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, as well as the need for advanced digital solutions in mining, CAP directly addresses these requirements. This innovation underscores Epiroc’s commitment to supporting safe, productive, and sustainable mining.
"CAP enables operators to control drills from anywhere in the world, offering flexibility, safety, and improved working conditions while allowing mine and quarry sites to gradually adopt automation as their infrastructure and procedures evolve", added Chris Blignaut.
