Unlocking Machine Data

To support our Software systems we have developed core hardware components that unlock the data potential of under-ground assets:

  • BRICK: data logging and control for TMM’s
  • Smart Antenna:  Real-time positioning for under-ground TMM’s
  • TMM Load tracking system: Our TMM interface for under-grounnd TMM load tracking and Dispatch & Rostering
  • Custom under-ground Wi-Fi systems for rapid deployment

Typical hardware systems integration includes:

  • Boom & Bucket Pressure Sensors

Determines when actual loading takes place or production processes take place

  • RFID Readers

Reading of tags placed in strategic tunnel positions for production data capturing and asset tracking

  • Operator Display

Operator authentication
Work orders
Display production data
Fault finding interface

  • Data Loggers

Calculates and buffers production cycles
Provides gateway for real-time data
Auxiliary control
Integrated into operator display

  • WLAN Radio

Communications link to the surface – reliable and fast

Project examples

LHD or Truck operator display

Features included:

  • Orders are received in real-time from Dispatch UIBased on default bucket capacity 
  • Orders can only be completed by reaching call or by cancelling an order with a reason (oversize, misfires etc.)
  • Cancel reasons displayed in real-time on surface dispatch UI (dependant on Wi-Fi Coverage)
