The Smartmine driving factor
Smartmine IoT processes data at the source through an edge computing platform and provides information in real-time. This facilitates fast decision-making to save lives and increase productivity. Smartmine IoT’s design allows integration into any equipment manufacturer’s hardware and accumulates data into a centralised data lake for processing.
The driving factor behind Smartmine is Industry 4.0, which involves the integration of digital mining technologies into various aspects of different mining operations. It is fast becoming a global reality. With the integration of digital technologies into mining operations becoming more frequent, the mining industry has been challenged with how and where to integrate these solutions. We are dedicated to helping our clients make informed choices to usher them into the future.
We assist by helping clients answer these questions to find the best solutions:
- How do we achieve efficient mining operations?
- How do we make mining operations more sustainable?
- How do we increase mining safety for employees?
Smartmine IoT is Schauenburg’s response to this global reality – to Industry 4.0.
Our Smartmine solutions
Smartmine IOT is a mine-focused Internet of Things (IoT) and locally developed software platform. Smartmine consumes data from various sources, stores it in a local edge computing platform and allows the user to model data in a business intelligent mining platform made for the mining industry. This allows users to make split-second decisions that enable optimised operations and enforces health & safety rules. This ultimately helps our customers see better financial results from a healthier operations lifecycle.
The core solutions offered by Schauenburg Systems from a Smartmine perspective are the Lamp Room Asset Management Solution (LAMS); Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS); and Occupational Safety Solution (OSS), which answer the above-listed questions.
LAMS
LAMS focuses on asset management & access control. It imports personnel information & assigns assets to people.
CAS
CAS is designed for applications in underground & surface mining vehicles & equipment.
OSS
OSS prioritises the health & wellness of mining personnel by mitigating any risks associated with hazardous gas, noise & dust.
These three solutions make up the Schauenburg Systems Smartmine portfolio. All three of them are built on a multi-node architecture cluster that gives mine management full failover capability and redundancy, as well as backup to ensure that this data is available at all times.
More about our Smartmine solutions
- LAMS imports personnel information and assigns assets to people. It allows management to block them from accessing the system pertaining to certain incidents that take place, and it offers an alerts dashboard for incidents or events that have taken place. This allows management to take corrective action when necessary.
- The CAS Reporter is a combination of collision avoidance technologies with smarter mining paradigms, which gives mine management a holistic view of the mine's collision avoidance systems and insights into mining operations. It is built for level 9 compliance and allows management to ensure that risks are mitigated, ensure the safety of miners and improve overall mining operations. (Achieving Level 9 Safety means that a mining company has met the highest standards for safety and has demonstrated a commitment to continuous improvement in safety performance.)
- The data that is generated for OSS by both wearable and fixed sensors forms the cornerstone of making smarter more informed decisions, giving mine management insights in terms of any operational efficiencies and any potential risks.
Smartmine is, essentially, your partner in revolutionising mining with open architecture mining software, leveraging data-driven insights for a smarter solution and more informed decision-making. Step into the future with Smartmine to ensure a safer, more productive tomorrow.
