To remain at the forefront of the mining and infrastructure industry, finding new and improved ways forward is key. Our drive and innovations focus on making tomorrow better. By sharing knowledge and insights we want to give you a competitive advantage.

 

 We always strive to make our solutions safer, sustainable and more productive. Below are just a few examples of that.

For centuries, the mining, construction and quarrying industries have been generally regarded as three of the toughest industries in the world. Now that reputation is rapidly fading as technology takes automation to a whole new level.

OZ Minerals wanted to improve traffic flows in its mine in Carrapateena, Australia. Having implemented Mobilaris Situational Awareness and Mobilaris Onboard, the company gained a better understanding of where machines and people were physically located underground – and operations became safer.

The Rosh Pinah mine in Namibia wanted to improve its production tons and grade quality. Thanks to MineRP’s Integrated Operating Schedule, their ambitious goals have been met.

In mines without any good communication infrastructure and without any means for tracking of assets, productivity is usually quite low and hard to increase due to a big lack of information and transparency during a shift. Here, you can say that situational awareness is, at its best, limited to a poor and noisy radio channel.

5G moves mining forward
