SmartMine IoT: Collision Awareness Solution (CAS) - Surface
Discover how SmartMine’s CAS solution can help you increase employee wellness, remain compliant and potentially increase productivity in your Surface mining operation.
Address challenges
Surface mining sites often face challenges related to managing heavy equipment traffic, pedestrian movement, and vehicle interactions in congested areas. Traffic congestion increases the risk of collisions and safety incidents, particularly at intersections and high-traffic zones, requiring proactive measures to ensure worker safety and operational continuity.
In open pit mining, operators face visibility limitations due to factors such as dust, weather conditions, and the size of equipment and terrain. Limited visibility increases the risk of collisions between large haul trucks, loaders, and other vehicles, necessitating innovative solutions to enhance situational awareness and prevent accidents.
