CR Digital takes things up a gear
CR Digital at MINExpo 2021 unveiled its most advanced real-time payload monitoring system , now powered by Artificial Intelligence . The upgraded Titan 3330 continually improves its ability to identify a productive load , learning and optimising further with each bucket .
Guided by 2.5 billion tonnes of in-field experience , every new capability was developed to help operators load trucks more accurately , increase average payload per truck , and reduce maintenance events caused by overloads . The new AI-powered system provides operators with more precise feedback that ’ s easier to implement in the field and constantly improving .
Kevin Greenwood , Head of Product Strategy at CR Digital , said the upgraded Titan 3330 system is the result of years of work and represents a huge breakthrough in CR Digital ’ s product offerings . “ Our Artificial Intelligence is now able to determine when a machine is digging vs gardening with increased accuracy . Even better : Titan 3330 ’ s ability to identify productive digging will only increase over time . More accurate data leads to better decision-making for our customers , and ultimately improved productivity .”
Titan 3330 now also comes with new Truck . Trakka technology , which quickly and accurately identifies your haul truck fleet , so target payloads are adjusted and optimised by
individual vehicle . “ To fully optimise the payload cycle , we need to understand the capacity of each truck in the fleet . Our Truck . Trakka technology can accurately identify which individual truck is being loaded at any time , so Titan 3330 can understand what a productive load is and adjust the target payload accordingly ,” Greenwood said .
CR Digital says it partnered with top operators to develop an evolved user experience that ’ s more intuitive than ever . This means operators can access and interpret critical information more readily , enabling more focus on digging efficiently . The architecture of Titan 3330 has been similarly upgraded . Continuing CR Digital ’ s commitment to technological advancement , the new software platform is built to grow with the customer , increasing functionality , insights , supportability and availability .
“ Our new software architecture puts us in a position to be able to deliver future upgrades more easily and faster , with minimised downtime for our customers . These kinds of behind-thescenes improvements aren ’ t obvious to our customers , but result in software that simply works ,” Greenwood said . An open-source API means more real-time data and better datadriven decisions . “ Get instantaneous , actionable feedback so your operators can continuously improve their payload accuracy .”
Weir Group completes Motion Metrics deal
On December 1 , 2021 The Weir Group announced that it had completed the previously announced
New CR Digital Titan 3330 Load Haul Optimisation User Interface
acquisition of Motion Metrics , the market leading developer of innovative Artificial Intelligence and Machine Vision technology used in mines worldwide , for an initial consideration of £ 89 million .
Commenting on the acquisition , Weir Group CEO Jon Stanton said : “ I am delighted to welcome our colleagues from Motion Metrics to Weir as we combine forces to play a leading role in making mining smarter , more efficient and more sustainable . I am excited by the opportunities this acquisition brings to drive growth and accelerate our journey to include data and insight as a core offering to our customers .”
Motion Metrics becomes a part of Weir ’ s ESCO division and its Vancouver HQ will serve as a global centre of excellence for AI and Machine Vision technology in Weir , supporting the increased digitisation of the broader Weir product portfolio .
Motion Metrics applications are highly complementary to Weir ’ s product portfolio . It will join the ESCO division reflecting the early adoption of its technology in ground engaging tools ( GET ) where ESCO is an established global leader . Motion Metrics AI and Machine Vision capabilities are expected to be leveraged across the whole mining value chain served by the Weir Group .
Stanton had earlier said : “ The combination of Weir and Motion Metrics will be extremely powerful and reflects our ambition to play a
