Automation solutions for underground materials handling
Epiroc has released a set of automation systems and applications used to coordinate loaders and trucks in underground mining operations and designed to enable customers to take control of safety zones, production assignments and autonomous traffic in real time – boosting safety, consistency and productivity.
The Deep Automation system has been developed with a focus on interoperability, aimed at giving customers full control of a production area from the safety of a control room.
“We are very excited to offer the most interoperable automation solution on the market. This is made possible by a cross-platform interface between Deep Automation, mine planning tools, underground machines and auxiliary equipment,” says director: customer solutions materials handling underground division Gabriel Norefors.
Deep Automation includes the following features:
- Deep Insights create transparency through data in underground operations, enabling continuous improvements of an automated fleet.
- Deep Fleet Simulations for simulating a production area before developing the mine or implementing automation solutions.
- Deep Safety which provides flexible zones and access control to a production area, allowing for new vehicles to be checked safely without interruptions.
- Deep Routes for recording, tuning, and teaching routes to the smart machines.
- Deep Control for controlling safety, production assignments and autonomous traffic in real-time.
Epiroc notes that all trucks and loaders within its Smart and Green series are prepared for automation and remote control thanks to the Rig Control System, or RCS.
