The Common Automation Panel is designed for an innovative transformation of the control room.
“CAP has been created for the modern mine remote control center environment. This product will help our customers to streamline the value chain of their surface drilling operations – and create a safer and more productive environment, says Christopher Blignaut, Automation Manager at Epiroc Surface division.
CAP creates opportunities for complete transformation, including improving the layout in the control room, the way operators are trained and work, and reduced variability and spare parts costs.
"The CAP station will bring value to the daily mining operations that focus on technology and automation – through direct opportunities to increase utilization of the fleet and reducing operating costs. Operation through CAP can also prolong the effective life of the equipment by ensuring that equipment operates within optimal design parameters. This results in lowering maintenance costs overall"
CAP will enable more consistent and predictable operations and a lower overall cost of ownership. In the long run, this will have a positive effect on de-carbonization as well as enhancing the health and wellbeing of the operators.
“We see increased environmental, social, and governance (ESG) demands, tighter demands on health and safety, and the need to integrate groundbreaking digitalized solutions that boost productivity in the mining environment. CAP answers these demands directly”, says Christopher Blignaut.
The Common Automation Panel will be available commercially from December 14 2023. Please contact your local Epiroc Customer Center for further information.
