SURFACE DRILLING
outcomes against actual results . This data enables optimisation of the drilling fleet within the mining value chain .
It provides a single platform for all stakeholders in a drilling operation , where both the leadership and operators can quickly navigate information , filter it to their needs and streamline day-to-day and long-term strategic decisions . Mobius for Drills is also designed to be flexible and scalable , ready to work on small or large operations with expert support from Epiroc . “ The system has the ability to work across Epiroc surface drills with various levels of technology . It ’ s also future-ready with a strong platform for development . Every Mobius application enabled connects more of the value chain . With Mobius for Drills , every situation can be planned and every outcome optimised .”
Connected through Scalable architecture allows the system to match the roadmap and interface points allow for other drill OEMs to easily integrate . An intuitive and smart design reduces the learning curve with a flexible and natural interface for effective use and navigation while a value chain perspective allows for refined decision making . It is “ focused to be your primary drill fleet tool for all stakeholders . Detailed views capture valuable drilling insight in a digital environment or reduced wear on boom and feed components .”
Epiroc adds : “ We believe in creating a harmonised mine where the value chain is connected and every level is optimised . Mobius for Drills ’ holistic approach ties the layers together , building from a detailed drill layer to ultimately create a safer and harmonised mine . Mobius for Drills was designed from the ground up to harness the full benefits of robotics and digitalisation growth in our industry , interacting with manned operations … our mines are manufacturing environments full of complex and interrelated decisions made each day . We recognise these decisions are not easy to make with tools that only focus on individual layers of the value chain .”
Mobius for Drills allows integration with semi or full autonomous drills . Data exchange , situational awareness , and autonomous navigation can be significantly enhanced . It also facilitates tele-op , semi-autonomous , or fully autonomous navigation of blasting vehicles such as ANFO and stemming vehicles . Autonomous control and choreography of haul truck fleets and manned vehicles , enables significant gains in utilisation , productivity , and cost reduction . Users can also leverage their dozer ’ s existing CAN Bus system to direct vehicle functions and monitor real-time vehicle health indicators .
Insight is a product within the Mobius for Drills application . The system specifically focuses on providing leadership and operators tools to make quick and effective decisions for their drill fleet .
Advanced digitalisation techniques provide clear to understand dashboards and real-time awareness of the working fleet . “ The user interface is positioned to provide both day to day tactical decision making and more strategic future operational transitional decisions . You ’ ll find the simple to understand interfaces provide the fuel for powerful decisions .”
The Mobius Traffic Management System ( TMS ) platform is a command and control software system , which supports a broad spectrum of autonomy for mobile mining equipment . It is developed and maintained by ASI Mining . ASI Mining ’ s majority parent , Autonomous Solutions , Inc has been a world leader in industrial automation since 2000 .
It supports teleoperation , semi and full autonomous modes and covers applications from drill and blast through autonomous haulage systems ( AHS ). Its interoperable architecture enables the integration of OEM autonomous ready vehicles or the retrofit conversion of nearly any make / model , commandable by Mobius . Mobius for manned vehicles monitors manually operated machines within an autonomous zone enabling safe manned / unmanned vehicle traffic . Integration of autonomous operations such as drilling and blasting with other manned and unmanned applications provides situational awareness , coordinated path planning , and broad data sharing across the entire mine
