MINEXPO PREVIEW
Guidance, and MineCare® Maintenance Management technologies work
together to deliver a complete mine management solution. They will be able
to follow the progress of a haul truck and see how the solutions optimise,
identify, track, and respond to production activities and maintenance events
in real time. In addition, they can find out how Modular’s SmarTrain®
Integrated Rail Management System can help mines plan, supervise, and
dispatch train movements.
MMSI will showcase its communications solutions (including the
MasterLink Enterprise® Wireless Network) which focus on the design,
integration, deployment, and ongoing support of mining operation wireless
networks.
Other highlights will include the entire IntelliMine® Mine Management
platform.
The DISPATCH open-pit FMS (fleet management system), the groundbreaking flagship product, has more than 35 years of field-proven
acceptance for its proprietary optimisation algorithm. Considered an
industry standard for mine management, the DISPATCH system is deployed
at more than 250 sites, including 18 of the 20 largest mines in the world.
The DISPATCH Underground FMS is designed to address the unique
challenges of the underground mining environment. The system automates all
development and production workflows and processes and supports all
common underground mining methodologies. Rugged, field-proven mobile
hardware exchanges critical information with workers at the face in real time improving productivity and equipment utilisation.
The ProVision Machine Guidance solutions use high-precision GPS to
provide continuous navigation and guidance to equipment operators,
increasing productivity and facilitating the realisation of planned targets
and tasks. ProVision solutions are available for shovels, loaders, backhoes,
drills and dozers.
The MineCare Maintenance Management solution helps mines increase
fleet uptime and availability, and reduce mobile equipment lifecycle costs
through the pro-active, real-time monitoring of asset health and
maintenance processes. Through the use of cloud-based software as a
service (SaaS) technologies, the MineCare solution streamlines upgrades,
expansion, and support. Centralised management capability provides a
simplified approach to the monitoring, managing, and cost-reduction efforts
of system operations.
The MineAlert™ Collision Awareness system (CAS), part of the MineAlert
Safety Management toolkit, monitors and notifies operators of potential
vehicle-to-vehicle collisions based on intelligent path-prediction algorithms,
helping to increase operator awareness and reduce the risk of equipment
damage. The CAS addresses more than 100 of the most common vehicle
collision scenarios, including forward path, take-off, overtaking, and
intersections.
VIST Group will have two booths, one demonstrating traditional
automation technology for mining companies: a modern mine fleet
management system, high precision drill guidance, a payload system for
dump trucks, a enterprise health and safety management system, an ore
quality control system and other IT solutions for mining. Visitors will find an
interactive demonstration of a dispatch system with different criteria of
optimisation in real-time, which is the basis for the creation of unmanned
autonomous technology for surface mining.
Also, VIST will show the concept of unmanned technology for surface
mining, which will be deployed this year in cooperation with mining
company SUEK. In 2011-2013, VIST’s Intelligent Mine project gathered
institutional support from the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) and the
Skolkovo foundation – Russian governmental ventures. The main point of
the project is the development of the first technology for autonomous
mining in Russia and CIS countries. VIST says “System Intelligent Mine will
bring Russian mining enterprises to advanced levels of profitability, safety
and performance as well as serve as a catalyst for the development of
EVseries
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
BATTERY POWER
ENGINEERED FOR LIFE UNDERGROUND.
Introducing MacLean-quality fleet electrification.
MacLean has turned its multi-discipline engineering capabilities,
hard rock expertise, and custom manufacturing know-how
towards battery power, and the result is elec tric. The MacLean
system combines leading edge battery chemistry and electric
motor componentry with sophisticated battery management and
monitoring safeguards, to deliver diesel-free propulsion, built for
life underground.
