Do You Want to Better Measure, Manage and Automate your Operations While Enhancing Safety?
It’s no secret that underground mining presents special challenges when it comes to safe, efficient operation. That’s why we tailor Cat® MineStar™ Solutions to the unique needs of underground environments. No matter the size, type or complexity of your underground operation, Cat MineStar can help you deal with the challenges you face every day: Controlling costs. Extending equipment life. Working more productively. And keeping people safe.
Equipment and Personnel Tracking + Production Recording
MineStar provides positioning capability and production recording solutions for underground operations that track people, machines and production data up and down the value chain, providing information in real time and providing insights that help you identify what’s working and fix what’s not. It allows you to track people and machines to sub-meter accuracy wherever they are underground. This automated real-time solution measures and reports on almost every aspect of the load-haul-dump cycle without requiring any operator input. The result is a boost in productivity and a reduction in the overall operating costs of managed assets: mine, material and machine.
Safety
MineStar Collision Awareness helps make operators more aware of their surroundings by tracking the position of machines and people. It utilizes a proprietary Time of Flight technology to enable high-precision positioning of assets without on-site network via machine-to-machine communication. The system delivers excellent signal propagation for longer range and visibility with sub-meter accuracy.
Command
MineStar Command for underground applications enables remote operation of load-haul-dump machines — providing productivity and efficiency gains and improving safety while removing operators from hazardous environments. MineStar Command for underground makes it possible to access ore bodies in hazardous conditions while keeping people safe and boosting machine utilization. Options range from simple line-of-sight to goal-to-goal automation. This building block approach allows you to capture value at your most economic entry point while allowing scalability as technology maturity grows.
Talk to us about:
- Having the ability to alert operators to potential hazards before they become threats
- Providing site controllers a view of all miners and the locations of light and heavy vehicles via a Wi-Fi device
