Each mine is different, with its own issues and concerns. Deployed technology must be versatile, scalable and reliable, and able to adapt to current and future requirements of the organization.
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.
Providing wireless fidelity and enabling long term network evolution without the limitations of Wi-Fi or the complexity hassles of LTE.
For mining operators, optimizing mining productivity is an ever-present challenge and opportunity.
Because of the huge potential for the industrial Internet of Things (IoT), that BT and Rajant have struck a partnership that brings Rajant’s kinetic mesh technology to BT’s network capabilities.
No matter how well a wireless mesh network is planned and deployed, bad things happen to it over time. Devices are added. New applications are supported. Antennae are moved. Suddenly, the network is not working as it should.
As MINExpo International 2012 kicks off this week, we’re reminded of just how much an old, established industry can change in just a few years. It’s not hard to see how the role of data has grown and assumed a central role in mine operations.
Mining is all about moving lots of earth to extract the target material. And to do it better, mines all over the world are transforming their operations – not only with more efficient extraction technologies, but through network infrastructure and application upgrades.
