Next generation automation solution
An innovative new product designed to maximise productivity and improve safety of autonomous vehicle navigation in underground mining operations has been introduced to the market.
Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions’ AutoMine Mapping Solution operates by utilising mapped data, enabling a vehicle to safely record an underground three-dimensional (3D) environment with a mine mapping tool, and convert 3D maps to 2D. Faster configuration and the capacity to continue operating other equipment in the area being mapped, increases productivity and efficiency.
The tool uses new technology that helps to reduce the time and cost involved in manual mapping, designed to enable a safer, more efficient autonomous underground operating environment. It can be used on all types of underground equipment, such as loaders, trucks and drills, which means that dedicated equipment and resources are not required to map an area.
“With AutoMine Mapping Solution, we are progressing to the next generation of innovative automation solutions, bringing new technologies to the underground mining industry which are designed to maximize our customers’ productivity and safety,” said Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions product line manager: underground automation sales Ty Osborne.
“AutoMine Mapping Solution is easy to use and turns real-time data from the mine into 3D models, providing a clear customer advantage in the planning and prioritizing of their automated operations and increasing production control," says Osborne.
The new product will be available to order later in 2022.
