MINEXPO PREVIEW
shovels , loaders , dozers and drills , which uses high-precision GNSS ( global navigation satellite system ) to provide continuous navigation and guidance to operators , which can assist with increasing productivity and improving the realisation of planned targets and tasks ; n ProVision Guided Spotting System , which uses operator-assist functionality to help optimise the excavation load cycle by potentially equalising the performance of all operators to that of the most experienced loading crew member . The system helps increase operator awareness and shovel productivity during the truck spotting and loading process ; n MineCare Maintenance Management System helps mines increase fleet uptime and availability and reduce mobile equipment lifecycle costs . The MineCare solution has instant access to data captured through over 175 ModularReady original equipment manufacturer interfaces -- enabling immediate corrective action for maintenance events , the company said ; n Modular Mining APIs , designed for increased openness and interoperability among third-party technologies , is currently focused on supervisory control , crusher management , mine planning , aftermarket systems integration and payload management ; n Argus PLM : an advanced payload management system designed to help customers optimise spayload compliance , material management , mine plan compliance and operator performance ; and n Pegasys dragline monitoring system : a payload and mine compliance system for draglines designed to help mines improve payload accuracy and dragline output while reducing cycle times and machine stress . The company concluded : “ The Modular Mining experience will highlight how open technology solutions can help customers overcome their unique challenges and operate more efficiently , cost-effectively and reliably .”
Workforce skills development remains one of most effective levers for driving increased safety , productivity and cost reduction in the mining industry . At MINExpo 2021 Immersive Technologies will demonstrate what it says are proven and tested solutions , as well as unveil technology advancements to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of workforce training .
