- Operator awareness
- Equipment collisions
- Blind spots
- Unknown hazards
- Equipment failure
- Prolonged blast clearing
- Unauthorized access to restricted areas
Our Solution
- Loss of mandatory safety inspection records can have serious consequences. The paperless Prestart check list module helps you maintain regulatory compliance and coordinate equipment upkeep.
- Repetitive work coupled with long hours—especially on night shifts—can lead to dangerous operator fatigue. The FatigueAlert module helps operators manage their alertness while providing supervision and analysis tools for management.
- Excessive speed not only endangers personnel but causes damage to equipment. The SpeedAlert module detects speed violations and issues automated alarms to operators and supervisors, supporting a culture of safe, efficient equipment operation.
- Constantly changing mine site conditions, as well as operator inexperience, lead to misrouted equipment and even accidents. The MineCompass view helps equipment operators navigate to their destination via the fastest route despite inexperience, limited visibility, or frequently changing road networks.
- A collision between equipment can injure operators and seriously impact operations. Using audible and visual alarms, IntelliMine Proximity Detection functionality proactively reminds operators to maintain a minimum safe distance.
- One of the biggest challenges faced by large mining equipment operators is poor visibility. On-board camera integration with the DISPATCH system overcomes blind spots, improving spotting confidence, and reduces low-speed equipment collisions.
- Operating around physical hazards, such as misfired blast holes, power lines, steep walls, unstable beams, and underground workings can be very dangerous for operators. By notifying operators of approaching hazards and issuing alarms based on their proximity, IntelliMine Hazard Detection functionality mitigates these risks.
- Many equipment failures present serious safety risk to operators, such as suspension, tire, and braking systems. By proactively identifying impeding failure, equipment can be repaired before injury to personnel occurs.
- Clearing an area of light vehicles prior to blasting can cause extensive wait times for personnel and equipment. The RoadMap system allows you to quickly locate and identify which light vehicles are in the evacuation zone, enhancing safety and minimizing operational delays.
- While not necessarily intentional, serious injury can occur when employees, contractors or visitors enter restricted areas without proper certification or equipment. Using role-based personnel management, the RoadMap system provides an innovative solution to personnel tracking and access control.
