Asset productivity is a top challenge facing the mining sector today, driven by increased pressure to move more material at a lower cost per ton, all while continually working to lower personnel safety risk.

There’s never been a greater need for digitalization within the coal sector, as mining operators juggle the necessity for profitability versus the requirement to drastically reduce running costs, heighten efficiency and improve safety.

With valuable data collected from vehicles and mining equipment connected to the Rajant network, a Brazilian mine is able to make better decisions, improve fleet performance and advance their ancillary processes.

Rajant’s industrial wireless mesh networks bring mission-critical connectivity to underground mines without the need for fiber throughout most of your mine.

Key digital innovations in the mining industry can help keep workers safe and leverage increasing asset productivity.

Mines will reap the full benefits of their assets and their workforce by utilizing a network that can support all technologies.

With the Rajant-Poynting solution, underground mines can enhance network capacity and mobility to run advanced applications.

Moderator: John Williams (Global Mining Review)
Panel: Todd Rigby and Sagar Chandra (Rajant)
Rajant has successfully deployed wireless networks in close to 200 mines around the world and knows first-hand how stressful it can be for the person(s) tasked with selecting your mine’s next network. Join this webinar for an insider’s view to learn the steps the pros take and the features they look for in evaluating and deciding which technology to implement to insure reliable performance now and scalability for the future

Moderator: John Williams (Global Mining Review)
Panel: Dr. Joe Cronin (Australian Droid + Robot), Darrell Gillis and Mike Foletti (Rajant)
Topics discussed include: utilizing both mobile and fixed node locations enabling autonomous operations and remote control of equipment; enabling systems and applications including voice comms, personnel and asset tracking, environmental monitoring, and control and production systems; and examples of existing underground mesh systems, architecture and performance in shafts, declines and operational areas. Plus a real-world applications using mesh technology underground for remote inspection, mapping, videoing and surveying of underground operations, especially in hazardous conditions.

Host: Sagar Chandra (Rajant)
Speaker: Samuel Brito (SITECH Central Brasil)
There is a growing global need for mining operators to optimize their mining productivity while bettering the ability to receive pertinent data to enhance and increase their overall productivity in all aspects of mine operations, Join Rajant and guest speaker Samuel Brito of SITECH Central Brasil to learn how automation and the Kinetic Mesh® Network can play a vital role in increasing and enhancing all aspects of operations.

As the mining industry embraces advancements in technology, personnel and asset tracking are emerging to create safer mines for personnel.

Rajant’s wireless mesh networks empower underground mines to move towards digitalization, reduce downtime, and increase production efficiency.

IIoT has unleashed mines’ ability to track virtually any aspect of a machine’s operations. This paper explores key digital innovations now available for mines to leverage in increasing asset productivity, and the requirements of a network to support these next-gen applications.

Rajant’s Kinetic Mesh® is the only wireless network that autonomously adapts to operational and environmental change, dynamically evolving to keep applications, equipment, and open-pit mine production running nonstop.

Rajant’s industrial wireless mesh networks bring mission-critical connectivity to underground mines without the need for fiber throughout most of your mine. Save significant OPEX and maintenance costs while adding more network capacity and mobility beyond what fiber can effectively support.
