Proximity detection systems (PDS) have become central to helping mines improve safety and are also being employed to optimise productivity and efficiency.

Booyco Electronics says that PDS data related to the movements of mobile trackless machinery and personnel is being used for virtual models that help optimise surface operations.

The company’s chief sales officer Graeme Jardine explains that modelling allows the benefits of any operational improvements on a mine to be evaluated in advance.

“Using a digital twin – the virtual equivalent of the machine in the field – mines can model a number of proposed scenarios and choose the one that is optimal for their operation,” he says.

An example is the use of heat maps created with Booyco’s Electronics Asset Management System (BEAMS) software suite in a scenario where haul trucks experience excessive standing time waiting to be loaded. The mine can use digital twin modelling to investigate the detailed implications and costs of diverting some trucks to an added excavator or shovel. By quantifying costs and benefits more accurately, the mine can make an informed decision about future strategies.

Booyco Electronics notes that its customers can use years of collected data through PDS and the BEAMS software suite to populate modelling systems.
