Technology has been one of the most significant enablers for success in the mining industry for, well, since the beginning of the mining industry. Effective use of innovative production and safety technologies have always separated the high performers from the mediocre. But, just having technology isn’t a guarantee of added value to the bottom line.
No matter if you’re operating underground or in an open pit, there are numerous safety issues facing an operation. Integrity of the surrounding rock, the presence of noxious gases, risks associated with explosives, heavy equipment operating in close quarters…
Real-time understanding of a vehicle’s various components provides critical insight into the health of that machine as well as the potential impact to the wider operation.
Ramjack partners with leading wireless data acquisition technology provider, Ackcio, to overcome signal interference and blockage for an underground mining customer.
With upwards of 100,000 flights taking off and landing every day around the globe, it’s no wonder that the nerve centre of the airport is the Air Traffic Control Tower. Similarly, growing with the fast-paced digital age of mining requires a new way of successfully approaching the command centre setup, as the dispatch tower or the control room can’t always keep up with the evolution of the mining operations. Our team speaks up about the Remote Operations Centre – designed to tackle the burden of expert system operations to enhance the performance of real-time systems on-site.
Tracking is core to any evacuation & rescue plan, but of equal importance, is understanding the environment and using that information in conjunction with any rescue plan. Wireless telemetry allows the team to assess air quality, rock stability and monitor video feeds to better plan their operation. Equally, robust and flexible communication devices enable users to switch between narrow and broadband should one of the networks be negatively impacted.
