MINEXPO PREVIEW
“ A uniquely holistic approach to drill and blast , a market-leading safety portfolio , and a datadriven focus to our entire smart mining technology stack … will be centre-stage at in the Las Vegas Convention Center ,” Hexagon says
avoidance , spotting assist , fatigue management , machine control and machine and asset health ,” Daw said . “ Not only can all of this be confined to a single unit , decluttering the cabin , but it also reduces maintenance and capital expenditure investment .”
That means one SDE for “ the next generation
of operator experience ”, enhancing operator awareness , improving reliability , and addressing personal safety issues that cannot be solved by traditional independent approaches .
Reduced complexity in ownership costs and smart data analytics to visualise data patterns above and below ground could also follow .
“ For drill and blast , it means a complete solution tailored to minimise ore loss and dilution by delivering accuracy and precision to every step of the process ,” Daw said .
Also to be displayed on the company ’ s booth is Hexagon ’ s cloud-based visualisation and collaboration platform , HxDR . This will help deliver on the promise of a digital twin for a mine , leveraging reality capture capabilities to push the bounds of what is possible from a dynamic terrain model , Hexagon said . This smart digital reality can help mines put data to work not only for safety and productivity improvements , but also to achieve ESG goals .
At MINExpo 2021 , Modular Mining , a Komatsu technology brand , will showcase its real-time mine optimisation solutions designed to address key mine operations , planning , machine guidance , equipment health and safety needs . The company will feature services and solutions leveraging data , innovation and people designed to deliver sustained value from Modular technologies and expanded value across the value chain .
Modular Mining ’ s booth will feature advancements in open technology and mine optimisation , along with an expanded portfolio of offerings including : n DISPATCH FMS : designed to help mines optimise haulage cycles , maximie production and increase equipment use in real time . Leveraging proprietary optimisation algorithms , DISPATCH continuously calculates optimised truck assignments and sends them to truck operators in real time ; n ProVision Machine Guidance System for
