With Onboard mounted inside a vehicle, you get a virtual “radar” that warns you about any other vehicles coming your way. Since Onboard knows about all assets in the mine and who is moving in what direction, together with its own location and direction with an accuracy of 5-10 meters, we can create an early warning before a potential traffic situation occurs. This lets you sort out the situation before it becomes a problem. This also allows prioritized heavy traffic to keep driving undisturbed which improves haulage efficiency. Here's a short explanation of how it is set up! #Epiroc #DigitalTransformation #Digitization

We strive to eliminate live work by utilizing technology and making operations safer. Recently, we have extended our Live Work Elimination (LWE) product portfolio by releasing several cutting-edge products: • The Hydraulic Operated Bit Basket System (HOBBS) for DML is a solution that removes the operator from being in the ‘line of fire’ risk when changing a drill bit on deck. • The Boom isolation kit for Direct Control System (DCS) rigs isolates feed, boom, and rock drill functions without impacting operational cycle time. A machine can continue to run on electrical or diesel engine mode while all boom functions are isolated. • The Spool valve guard kit is developed for blast hole drill rigs. The kit helps to lock out the 2, 7, 8, and 11 spool valve manual actuation points and reduces risk exposure for personnel working on the machine.

Our Virtual tag is a mobile app running in the background of your Android smartphone that enables person and vehicle tracking. The virtual tag supports zone-based messages in Situational Awareness with three different severity levels; Information, Warning or Alarm. The process for each level is set by each operation to suit the specific site. When using a virtual tag there is no need for personnel in the mine to carry a separate device for tracking. #Epiroc #MiningSafety #EpirocMiningIntelligence #VirtualTag

Miners have a wide variety of tag and tracking technologies to choose from, each with its own requirements and benefits. Here’s a quick overview of tags used in underground mining today, their related radio network requirements, some pros and cons of each type of tag. 1. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tags are small radio transponders that transmit a unique identifying number to a reader when triggered by an electromagnetic pulse. They require a network of readers and antennas strategically placed throughout the mine. + • Reliable tracking and access control • Passive tags are cost-effective - • Limited range and susceptible to interference • One-way communication provides limited insight • Requires a dense network of readers for effective coverage 2. Wi-Fi Tags use existing Wi-Fi networks and positioning algorithms to localize personnel and mobile assets. A high volume of Wi-Fi access points is required for detailed positioning. + • Utilizes existing Wi-Fi infrastructure • High data transfer rates and accuracy in line-of-sight conditions • Ability to integrate with other systems - • Requires a robust Wi-Fi network • High power consumption leads to shorter battery life • Lack of standardization across Wi-Fi solution vendors 3. Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Tags use high-frequency radio technology to transmit unique identifiers in short pulses, enabling precise location tracking. They need a mobile or Wi-Fi network and a dense network of anchor points. + • Highly accurate real-time location tracking • Performs well in challenging underground environments • Provides centimeter-level precision for personnel and asset monitoring - • Requires more complex and costly infrastructure • Higher power consumption than other tag technologies • Limited adoption and availability compared to RFID and BLE 4. Virtual Tag Mobile Apps use standard smartphone operating systems to provide two-way communication and real-time situational awareness without specialized hardware. Smartphones can use Wi-Fi, cellular, and Bluetooth radio technologies, making integration seamless. + • Easily installed on widely available consumer devices • Eliminates the need for physical tags or beacons • Provides two-way communication and more value for workers - • The cost of supplying workers with phones may be relatively expensive • Users must keep their devices charged and with them at all times • Cyber security vigilance is required 5. Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) beacons are not tags themselves, but separate units installed in places where the network is poor, or where you need to improve location accuracy in the mine. BLE beacons use Wi-Fi or cellular to communicate readings. + • Leverages ubiquitous Bluetooth technology • Supports real-time location tracking and proximity monitoring • Battery-powered BLE tags will last 3-4 years - • Can require a more extensive network of BLE beacons • Obstacles and interference may affect performance #Epiroc #Safety #SituationalAwareness
